CLOSED: Roadie Driver Wage Theft Investigation

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Roadie misclassified delivery drivers as independent contractors while controlling assignments, delivery timing, proof-of-delivery requirements, and route tracking.

What Workers Report

Drivers report:

  • Delivering lost airline baggage, same-day retail orders, and other time-sensitive goods.
  • Being assigned jobs and delivery prices through the Roadie platform.
  • Having their location tracked from pickup to drop-off.
  • Being required to submit real-time photo proof at delivery.
  • Working strict delivery windows with penalties or consequences for lateness.
  • Driving long distances, including across state lines.
  • Paying their own fuel, tolls, insurance, maintenance, and vehicle wear.
  • Receiving no overtime or mileage reimbursement.

Why Workers Should Be Concerned

Delivery drivers may be misclassified when a company controls pricing, assignments, tracking, delivery standards, and proof-of-delivery requirements. Drivers who pay major vehicle expenses out of pocket may be earning less than legally required.

Potential claims may include:

  • Worker misclassification
  • Failure to reimburse mileage and vehicle expenses
  • Failure to pay minimum wages
  • Failure to pay overtime
  • Wage theft
  • Labor protection violations
