# Driver Companies Model

A driver company represents an external delivery organization with cost, availability, schedule, webhook, driver-group, and credential configuration.

Representative concepts include `name`, address, logo, schedule, priority, order limits, delivery costs, webhook URLs, busy/enabled state, external/plugin identity, and an automatically generated API key. Never publish or reuse that key as example content.

The public API documentation includes external-driver location submission authenticated by a driver-company credential. Do not assume other driver-company CRUD operations are publicly available.
