Job Description

Courier Express is a leading transportation and distribution company dedicated to providing flexible, reliable, and superior logistics solutions across the nation. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Courier Express has expanded its operations with over 30 service centers primarily located throughout the Southeast. The company prides itself on a growth-oriented approach and a commitment to excellence, driven by an elite team of transportation, warehousing, and management professionals. With decades of industry experience, Courier Express has established itself as a trusted partner in creating seamless logistics and delivery services that meet a wide range of customer needs.

Courier Express is actively seeking independent contractor delivery drivers who own their own 26-foot box trucks to join their dynamic team. This role is pivotal in maintaining the company’s high standards for timely and efficient delivery service. The position involves weekend work with pickups in St. Petersburg and deliveries to Orlando, operating between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Drivers will be responsible for handling mail totes that are palletized, ensuring the secure and timely transportation of goods.

This is a contract-based opportunity that offers a competitive daily rate of $280, with payments being settled weekly every Friday. The ideal candidate must possess a valid driver’s license and be at least 18 years of age with a good driving record, reflecting no more than three violations in the past three years. Additionally, the contractor must be able to pass a drug screening and felony background check to ensure safety and compliance with company policies.

Contractors must provide their own 26-foot box truck and maintain insurance coverage, specifically meeting the requirement of $500,000 for vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR (Combined Single Limit). A smartphone (iPhone or Android) is also required for operational communication and navigation during deliveries. The role demands physical capability to lift and carry packages of various sizes and weights, emphasizing the importance of the driver’s personal fitness and stamina.

Working with Courier Express means becoming part of a team dedicated to creating transportation solutions, developing strong logistics partnerships, and driving value with every delivery. The company’s mission highlights its commitment to not only meeting but exceeding client expectations through reliable and efficient service. This contractor opportunity is ideal for self-motivated individuals who appreciate the independence of owning and operating their vehicle while benefiting from the support of a well-established transportation network.
