You can't drive for them without an EIN. They don't tell you this upfront so don't fill out a form with your personal info unless you have a business. You can't drive as an individual. They also don't tell you what the hourly wage is for driving. Therefore, they want you to spend money to create a business and pay for commercial insurance before letting you know anything about what you will be paid and what the routes are like.
