Job Description

American Expediting is a premier provider of health sciences delivery services, dedicated to ensuring timely, reliable, and secure transportation of critical medical supplies and documents. With a strong commitment to excellence, the company has built a reputation for exceptional service and robust client relationships across a broad customer base, including hospitals, laboratories, and other healthcare facilities. As a trusted partner within the healthcare logistics sector, American Expediting focuses on facilitating expedited deliveries, which are essential to patient care and operational efficiency within the medical community.

We are currently seeking dependable and professional individuals to join our team as 1099 Independent Contractor Medical Courier Drivers. This role offers flexible contracting opportunities with competitive pay, allowing contractors to earn based on their dedication and workload. As an independent contractor, you will be responsible for operating your own minivan and managing deliveries on an on-demand basis. This position is ideal for self-motivated drivers who value independence and seek to contribute directly to the healthcare delivery chain.

The role requires performing expedited delivery services to medical facilities within designated timeframes, frequently covering shifts from Monday to Sunday between 6 AM and 6 PM, with an emphasis on weekend coverage. Contractors will provide same-day service for critical health items, including laboratory specimens, medical documents, and pharmaceuticals. Your work will directly support patient care by ensuring that essential materials are transported swiftly and securely.

In addition to reliable transportation and a clean driving record, contractors must maintain a high level of professionalism and customer service. Accuracy and attention to detail are critical as you handle sensitive and sometimes time-sensitive medical packages. Throughout your service, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the items entrusted to you is paramount.

This position requires a minimum age of 21 with a valid driver's license and allows contractors to take control of their earnings with no caps on income. The role is structured to support a flexible schedule that accommodates your personal availability while contributing to urgent healthcare service needs. Additionally, contractors will be required to undergo background checks and motor vehicle record checks at their own expense, and obtain TSA certification alongside other customer-specific medical certifications, which we will provide upon contracting.

As an independent contractor with American Expediting, you are responsible for carrying appropriate insurance, including liability coverage and proof of insurance listing American Expediting as an additional insured party or while under dispatch. Contractor compliance with Workers' Compensation or occupational accident insurance is also required in accordance with state statutes or specified coverage limits. These requirements ensure a safe and professional operation that aligns with healthcare industry standards.

Overall, this contract driver role is a rewarding opportunity if you are a safe, responsible driver looking for a vital role within medical logistics. By partnering with American Expediting, you join a respected network dedicated to supporting medical facilities and ultimately saving lives through reliable delivery services. Our commitment to contractor support and customer satisfaction makes this a meaningful and financially viable driving opportunity.
