FAQ · the Waikato
Common questions, plain answers.
- Does Lazi work in the Waikato?
- Yes — Covers Hamilton as the hub, plus Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Matamata and the wider the Waikato catchment. Lazi is NZ-wide; the network's density grows with each new operator who joins, and Hamilton is part of that map.
- What corridors does Hamilton actually run?
- Common runs from Hamilton: Tauranga (~80 km), Auckland (~110 km), Taupō (~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 Hamilton 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.
