Top 5 Mounting Solutions for Delivery Drivers
During this trying time of the COVID-19 pandemic, delivery drivers are more essential than ever before. Whether it’s keeping restaurants alive by driving take-out orders to hungry customers in isolation to first responders and truck drivers delivering emergency cargo to and from hospitals, we need to keep these workers from supplying themselves with cheap, breakable mounts for their devices. So we put together our list of top 5 mounting solutions for delivery drivers ranging from the need of mobile workstations, to simply mounting devices for navigation. Check out the list below, stay safe, and keep your devices mounted!
5. RAM® Stubby™
For those who want to maximize the visibly of their windshield and mount their phone somewhere else that is less distracting, look no further than the RAM® Stubby™. This base is a low-profile option that fits snug in the cup holder of your vehicle with flexible support fins that can be trimmed to size depending on how wide of a cup holder you have.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
No modifications to your cup holder are necessary. Simply take out that old McDonalds drink and push the RAM® Stubby™ straight down into the cup holder.
Attach any B size RAM® socket arm depending on the length of reach you need. And since RAM® components are modular, you can attach your favorite phone holder you might already own, like the RAM® X-Grip®, the RAM® Quick-Grip™, or even a caseless RAM® Form-Fit option.
4. RAM® No-Drill™ Vehicle Mount
For those delivery drivers who need something extra, our RAM® No-Drill™ Vehicle solutions allow you to create your own mobile workstation. Specific to your vehicle(as well as universal options), these bases were each designed to install directly under the seat bolts on the passenger side. Pair our Tele-Pole and Swing Arm system with either a RAM® Tough-Tray™ for laptops, or any compatible tablet holder. This mounting solution is ideal for delivery drivers who operate on more than just a smartphone.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
First, visit our website to find a solution geared towards your exact vehicle, or select a universal option. After you find your ideal base, decide whether you are going to mount a laptop, or tablet. Once your new mobile workstation arrives in the mail, you’ll start installing the vehicle base under the passenger side seat bolts. See our install video for help!
You will find that this mounting solution allows for further attachments of a wide variety of mounts we offer. Our RAM® Tough-Claw™ mounts can be mounted directly onto the Tele-Pole for your phone, or GPS devices.

3. RAM® Tough-Wedge™
The RAM® Tough-Wedge™ is an ideal phone or tablet mounting solution that fits in the space between your passenger seat and center console. (Yeah, that area where you always lose your keys or french fries.)
Simple but ingenious, the RAM® Tough-Wedge™ creates a low-profile mounting surface so you can take advantage of the RAM® double ball and socket system. From there, you can attach your favorite phone or tablet holder to keep your device in the perfect position. That means no air vent, dash, or windshield obstruction.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We already mentioned the RAM® Tough-Wedge™ fits in that space between your passenger seat and center console. No modifications to your vehicle or car seat are necessary. For an even stronger hold, the RAM® Tough-Wedge™ expansion pump (pictured right) is available separately or in select kits.
The attached B size RAM® diamond ball adapter allows you to connect any B size double socket arm and compatible device holder. And since RAM® components are modular, you can likely attach your favorite phone or tablet holder you might already own, like the RAM® X-Grip®, the RAM® Quick-Grip™, the RAM® Tab-Tite™, or even GDS® Docks™ for use with IntelliSkin®.
