Final Mile Delivery & Installation

Ryder Last Mile is a leading provider specializing in final mile delivery services across the United States. As part of Ryder, a renowned global logistics and transportation company, Ryder Last Mile focuses dedicatedly on delivering and installing products directly into customers' homes. The company has cultivated an expansive network of final mile delivery carriers to ensure that high-quality service is consistent and reliable across diverse regions. Known for its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, Ryder Last Mile supports various industries with specialized shipping solutions, particularly excelling in handling large and heavy items requiring white glove service.

The role in question is focused on expanding this final mile carrier network by contracting capable carriers interested in delivering and installing furniture. This opportunity is offered strictly on a contract basis, emphasizing flexibility and the possibility of growth through continual route assignments. Contractors operate as independent entities, providing delivery and installation services that meet Ryder’s high standards, particularly focusing on in-home, white glove assembly which involves careful handling, precise assembly, and customer interaction at the point of delivery.

Compensation for contracted carriers is competitive and directly tied to the number and nature of daily routes completed, which promotes efficiency and encourages high-quality service. Given the nature of the services, carriers are required to operate as two-person teams to ensure safety and the quality of handling heavy furniture items. The contractor must own or lease a 26-foot white box truck with a lift gate, free of any advertising, to meet operational requirements. Maintaining insurance coverage according to Ryder’s standards is mandatory for compliance and to protect both parties during the delivery process.

This contract opportunity also provides several advantages such as weekly settlements ensuring predictable cash flow, with payment terms set at seven days, allowing contractors to manage finances effectively. Carriers benefit from access to an established customer base with consistent routes, reducing the uncertainty of variable loads and fostering potential for sustainable income. Additionally, contractors can access discounts on Ryder truck rentals, which supports operational costs and encourages leveraging Ryder’s fleet when necessary. The position is ideal for experienced final mile carriers who operate as LLCs or corporations and seek to grow within a high-demand delivery niche that values professionalism, customer service, and operational excellence.

Overall, this position offers an ideal setting for experienced, well-equipped delivery teams committed to providing top-tier furniture delivery and installation. The contract-based nature of the work allows for flexibility and growth opportunities, with the support of a reputable company known for its best-in-class delivery services. Candidates who thrive in dynamic environments, value customer satisfaction, and have a stringent focus on safety and compliance will find this opportunity particularly rewarding.
