Job Description

American Expediting is a premier healthcare logistics company specializing in the expedited delivery of medical supplies and specimens. Committed to superior service, American Expediting plays a crucial role in supporting health sciences and medical facilities by ensuring timely and reliable deliveries. The company has earned a reputation for excellence by partnering with a broad network of medical institutions and providing flexible, dependable courier services. Operating as a leader in the health sciences delivery sector, American Expediting values the contributions of independent contractors who help fulfill urgent medical transportation needs.

We are currently seeking dedicated and reliable individuals to join our team as 1099 Independent Contractor Medical Courier Drivers. This role offers a unique opportunity for drivers who own their own vehicle and seek flexible work schedules with a competitive earning potential. As a contractor, you will play a vital role in facilitating the rapid movement of medical materials that can potentially save lives. This position is perfect for those who value independence, reliability, and impactful work in a critical sector.

The Medical Courier Driver position operates primarily Monday through Friday, from early morning until mid-afternoon. You'll be expected to perform on-demand, local deliveries, providing same-day service to various medical facilities. Your duties will include managing your schedule within the given shift hours of 5 am to 4 pm, ensuring that all deliveries are executed promptly and securely. As an independent contractor, you have the autonomy to control your work while adhering to the high standards expected by American Expediting and its clientele.

Our clients depend on us to uphold both speed and safety in deliveries. As such, having your own car and a valid driver's license is essential. The ideal candidate will be one who is committed to safe driving practices and offers excellent customer service. In addition to making deliveries, you will be acting as an ambassador for American Expediting, maintaining professional interactions with medical staff and ensuring accurate and careful handling of all cargo.

This role also involves compliance with health and safety regulations specific to medical transportation. Contracted drivers must pass a background check and motor vehicle record check, which they will be responsible for funding upfront. Drivers must be willing to obtain TSA certification and other customer-specific medical certifications, which will be provided upon contracting. Insurance coverage is mandatory with proof of 100/300 liability and specific workers' compensation or occupational accident insurance in accordance with state statutes or contractual requirements.

American Expediting offers a competitive pay range between $300 and $675 weekly, with no earnings cap, providing excellent income potential. The company fosters an environment where independent contractors can thrive by balancing flexibility with the security of a supportive network. If you are a professional driver seeking a rewarding contract role with an esteemed health sciences delivery company, we encourage you to apply and contribute to saving lives through expedited delivery services.
