Job Description

American Expediting is a prominent provider of health sciences delivery services known for its dedication to timely and reliable transportation solutions. Specializing in expedited deliveries to medical facilities, the company plays a critical role in the healthcare supply chain, ensuring that essential medical items reach their destinations quickly and securely. With a strong customer base and a commitment to service excellence, American Expediting has built a reputation for dependability and professionalism in the medical courier industry. The company uses a contract-based model allowing independent drivers who own box trucks to join its fleet and deliver critical medical supplies on a flexible schedule.

The role of a 1099 Independent Contractor Medical Courier Driver is integral to the mission of American Expediting. This position offers a unique opportunity for self-motivated, reliable drivers to earn competitive rates while maintaining control over their schedules.

Drivers operate primarily from Monday to Saturday with shifts available either from 7am to 4pm or 3pm to 11pm, supporting a range of scheduling preferences.

Contractors are responsible for managing their own expenses and maintaining their vehicles, insurance, and fuel costs. The job emphasizes safety, professionalism, and excellent customer service as key components. American Expediting provides necessary certifications such as TSA and customer-specific medical certifications to contractors once on board. This opportunity suits drivers who appreciate independence and flexibility and who want to be part of a service that directly impacts patient care by facilitating the swift movement of life-saving medical goods.

This description reflects the flexible, contract-oriented nature of this position with no earnings cap, excellent pay rates, and a reliable, ongoing customer base. Independent contractors interested in this role must meet certain requirements including age, valid driver’s license, background checks, and insurance coverage specifications that ensure compliance and safety in handling sensitive medical deliveries. Opportunities for growth within this role come from building a positive reputation with customers and maintaining high performance standards. Overall, this position is ideal for experienced drivers seeking an entrepreneurial role in the medical courier delivery sector.
