Accurate Courier Services

⚠ This is an independent contractor opportunity and not a W-2 position.

About Accurate Courier Services

Accurate Courier Services is a national leader in medical logistics, supporting hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, and healthcare systems across the country.

Contractors are responsible for transporting medical specimens, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and other healthcare materials while meeting strict pickup and delivery deadlines.

Successful contractors are dependable, responsive, detail-oriented, and capable of working independently. Because many deliveries directly support patient care, accuracy, urgency, and professionalism are essential.

This is an active position that requires frequent driving, walking through healthcare facilities, entering and exiting vehicles, and managing multiple pickups and deliveries throughout the day.

We are currently seeking contractors with availability during one or more of the following timeframes:

Contractors must be able to:

• Lift, carry, load, and unload coolers, totes, and transport containers weighing up to 30 pounds
• Frequently enter and exit a vehicle throughout the day
• Walk long distances through hospitals, laboratories, medical offices, and healthcare facilities
• Navigate stairs, elevators, parking garages, and large medical campuses
• Complete multiple pickups and deliveries during a shift while maintaining accuracy and chain-of-custody requirements
• Use smartphone applications to receive assignments, scan items, document deliveries, and communicate with dispatch
• Maintain required route schedules and delivery time standards
• Work in a fast-paced environment where urgency, reliability, and attention to detail are critical

Preferred Qualifications

• Medical courier experience preferred but not required
• Experience in transportation, logistics, healthcare, delivery services, or customer service environments
• Former military personnel are encouraged to apply
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow established procedures

Important Information

• This is not app-based gig work
• This is an independent contractor relationship and not employment
• Contractors are responsible for their own vehicle expenses, insurance, taxes, and operating costs
• Consistent availability, professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability are important factors in receiving dispatch opportunities
