Tacoma Shuttle partners with independent owner-operators, larger-vehicle operators, and transportation companies across Pierce County and the greater South Sound. You stay your own business — we send you dispatched trips from a brand that Pierce County has trusted since 2015.
If you run a vehicle or a fleet as your own business — legitimate, insured, and licensed — there's a place for you in the network. This isn't a gig platform; it's a B2B relationship between operators.
Independent drivers with their own qualifying sedan or SUV, ready for clean, professional transfers — corporate, airport, and executive black car trips.
Vans, shuttles, Sprinters, and limos for group transfers, wedding shuttles, cruise-group arrivals, corporate charters, and events.
Established operators looking for overflow trips and referral partnerships during peak demand — cruise season, Puyallup Fair week, holidays.
Licensed, registered drivers operating under their own Washington UTC authority who want steadier, dispatched volume alongside their own bookings.
No employment, no exclusivity, no hidden terms. You run your business; we route you work. That's the whole model.
Our team sends trip offers your way through our dispatch platform. You accept the ones that fit your schedule and decline the rest — no penalties, no ratings-based leverage.
Trips are offered at a competitive per-trip rate, paid out weekly. Full rate sheet provided before you sign anything — no pressure, no surprises, no bait-and-switch.
Keep your own customers, branding where appropriate, and authority. The network adds work — it doesn't take over your book of business or restrict who else you can work with.
Partners are independent businesses, not employees. You retain your own UTC registration, commercial insurance, vehicles, and operating authority — and you're responsible for your own taxes and team. Tacoma Shuttle does not W-2 partners, does not claim exclusivity over your calendar, and does not deduct from your other business.
We hold the network to real standards — it's why customers trust the name on the door. We vet every partner, and we're not shy about turning down operators who don't meet the bar.
Active Washington UTC registration and authority where applicable to your service type.
Current commercial coverage that meets Washington State minimums and our network requirements.
Properly registered, well-maintained, and clean — every vehicle in service, every trip.
Operating as a legitimate, licensed Washington State business with current filings.
Licensed drivers with clean driving records who pass standard background screening.
On-time, courteous service that reflects well on the network. Private-only positioning — no shared rides.
Exact thresholds vary by service type. Insurance minimums, vehicle age limits, and required registrations differ between sedan, SUV, van, and Sprinter service. We'll share our specific requirements when we open the conversation. For larger vehicles, we partner exclusively with UTC-registered operators to ensure full regulatory compliance on every ride.
You bring the vehicle, the authority, and the standards. The network adds volume, brand trust, and the operational infrastructure that lets you keep your calendar full.
Fill the gaps in your calendar with dispatched airport, cruise, corporate, and group trips across Pierce County.
Trips come attached to a brand Pierce County has known since 2015 — customers already expect quality when they see the Tacoma Shuttle name.
We manage the reservations, customer communications, flight tracking, and scheduling — you focus on driving well.
Trips priced on the same starting-from model our customers trust — clear for them, clear for you. No surge, no algorithmic games.
A live dispatch team you can actually reach when a trip needs a hand — not voicemail, not a chatbot, any hour of any day.
No exclusivity grab. Keep your own clients and run network trips alongside them. Grow both books, not one at the expense of the other.
Simple, honest, quick. From first inquiry to first trip typically runs 7–14 days for straightforward applications.

We treat partner applications the same way we treat customer bookings — a real human reads every inquiry, and we get back to you within one business day (usually faster). There's no automated screening, no ratings gauntlet, no ghosting.
When you send in the form, share as much as you can: your business name, current authority and insurance status, vehicles you operate, and a rough sense of how much dispatched volume you're looking for each month. The more context you give us, the faster we can match your operation to the right kind of trips.
If you'd rather skip the form and talk directly, that works too. Call dispatch or drop us an email — we'll walk through the same conversation over the phone.
Join a vetted local network and fill your calendar with dependable, dispatched trips — while staying fully your own business. From application to first trip in 7 to 14 days.
