Job Description

The hiring establishment is a logistics company operating in the Waltham, Massachusetts area that specializes in pharmaceutical deliveries. The company offers contract positions for independent delivery contractors. With a focus on reliable and timely service, the company provides routes that cover a wide geographic area, ensuring the efficient transport of pharmaceutical products. This company serves various customers requiring stringent compliance, including background checks, drug screens, and motor vehicle history verification. The schedules are flexible, with routes available every day of the week, catering to different availability and preferences for independent contractors.

This role is primarily a delivery contractor position in which the contractor is responsible for completing delivery routes that begin and end in Waltham, Massachusetts. Delivery routes operate Monday through Sunday, with weekday routes starting early in the morning at 8 AM and continuing throughout the day. Weekend routes generally start in the late afternoon. The deliveries cover distances ranging from approximately 104 to 297 miles per route, and each route takes on average 5 to 9 hours to complete. Those applying for the role should be comfortable with driving moderate distances and managing their schedules independently within the assigned route times.

A smartphone is preferred as it is used to meet customer scanning requirements ensuring deliveries are tracked and documented accurately. The role requires the use of a vehicle suitable for transporting pharmaceuticals, preferably a car, crossover, or small SUV. As independent contractors, candidates must be prepared to undergo necessary background checks, drug screening, and motor vehicle record checks as mandated by the customers. The role offers an opportunity to work independently while supporting healthcare and pharmaceutical supply chains across the region. This is a great opportunity for professional drivers who are reliability-focused, self-motivated, and able to manage their time effectively within the flexible contract schedule offered.
