What it takes.
Eight things. None are negotiable at application, and a licensed operator already meets all of them.
- Licence
- A firm holds a current agency permit — PSISA in Ontario, BSP in Quebec, Class B in Florida, or your jurisdiction’s equivalent. An independent driver holds their own chauffeur or driver licence plus for-hire operating authority, and no agency permit. Either way it must be current in every jurisdiction you accept work in.
- Insurance
- Coverage meeting the operator agreement’s requirements — general liability at minimum, plus auto liability or workers’ compensation where your services call for them — with Tector named as additional insured.
- Personnel
- Everyone you assign holds whatever licence, certification or firearms authorisation that assignment individually requires. A sole operator is their own roster; the same standard applies to you.
- Screening
- Background screening on all personnel to at least the standard applicable law requires, completed before they accept an engagement.
- Documents
- What you upload must be authentic, current and accurate. Anything with an expiry date is monitored — a lapse pauses new bookings automatically until you replace it, so you hear about it from us and not from a client.
- Notice
- Tell us promptly about a lapse, suspension or revocation, and about any material incident, claim, arrest or regulatory action involving someone who has accepted work through the platform.
- Availability
- Every engagement on the platform runs four hours or longer, so you need to be able to cover a block that size — with your roster, or personally.
- Your terms
- Upload your own terms of service. Yours governs the engagement and is version-recorded at each booking; Tector is not a party to it, and cancellation runs on your policy rather than a platform-wide one.
This restates the operator agreement in plain language. The signed agreement governs — read the operator agreement for the exact warranties, notice periods and insurance amounts.
