FAQ · the Central Plateau
Common questions, plain answers.
- Does Lazi work in the Central Plateau?
- Yes — Covers Taupō as the hub, plus Tūrangi, Tokoroa and the wider the Central Plateau catchment. Lazi is NZ-wide; the network's density grows with each new operator who joins, and Taupō is part of that map.
- What corridors does Taupō actually run?
- Common runs from Taupō: Tauranga (~110 km), Napier (~110 km), Hamilton (~120 km). Lazi matches on equipment + route + timing, so the corridors that fire for your truck depend on what gear it carries and where it's heading next.
- How long until I get paid as a Taupō carrier?
- Payouts land in your NZ bank account 48 hours after both parties confirm delivery. Same flow whether you're running out of Auckland or Invercargill — Stripe Connect handles the transfer, no invoicing.
