Khawar Shahzad constructs a new life while delivering on the Spark Driver app

After moving to the United States a decade ago, Khawar Shazad understands just what it means to believe in a dream and deliver on it. He and his family, including his wife and two children, relocated to the U.S. in search of better opportunities and a better life.

Originally from Pakistan, they also spent a number of years in Spain before deciding to move to California where they found the people to be friendly and the work opportunities to be plentiful. Upon arrival, Khawar initially worked in the construction industry, but eventually transitioned to security work and driving for various rideshare and delivery platforms.

Last year, he started driving on the Spark Driver platform and fell in love with the freedom and earning potential. With the constraints that his construction and security jobs had put on him, Khawar now loves the autonomy and flexibility of being an independent contractor on the Spark Driver platform. He typically logs into the app daily, starting at 8:30 am after dropping off his kids at school. With two children and a wife with a busy teaching schedule, he appreciates that he can choose when he wants to earn money by delivering on the app and when he wants to be with family.

In addition to the flexibility, he also appreciates the ease of using the app to accept offers. He loves the enhancements to the heat map, so he can login and see where the busiest pickup locations may be. Now, he's able to accept more offers in a day and earn the money he wants to support his family.

Khawar's advice to other drivers is to be patient and believe in themselves. He acknowledges that most drivers are concerned about how many offers they receive, but, in his opinion, it's better to focus on the shopping orders rather than constantly chasing offers. He also stresses the importance of following the speed limits and being careful while driving.

Khawar is happy with his decision to become an independent contractor on Spark Driver and enjoys the freedom of being his own boss and the potential for earnings that comes with it. Most importantly, he is able to provide for his family, and be there for them when they need him, which is what matters most to him. If you're considering becoming a driver on the Spark Driver platform, Khawar's story is a great example of the opportunities and perks that are available.
