That puts you in the 10th percentile of annual income for a delivery driver in the U.S., which is about what you would expect if you were new to the field.

No, delivery driving does not pay well, though this is heavily dependent on the individual position. On average, delivery drivers make between $25,000 per year and $50,000 per year. This range of pay indicates that most delivery drivers will earn wages that are below the national average.
While $50,000 per year is not insignificant pay, $25,000 per year is quite a low wage for a full-time working schedule. In some positions, delivery drivers can earn benefits alongside a salary on the higher end of this spectrum.
In other positions, drivers do customer-facing work and are able to earn tips on top of their hourly pay. In all, however, delivery drivers are generally paid a relatively low wage.
A delivery driver should make between $25,000 per year and $50,000 per year. This yearly salary can be increased by bonuses and benefits in some positions. In other positions, tips from customers can be added on top of the delivery driver's hourly wages.
Depending on the position and the types of deliveries a delivery driver makes, this range can be very flexible. Some drivers deliver expensive or luxury products or make their deliveries for specialty companies. Things like that can increase the wages that a delivery driver earns.
