Job description

Independent Contractor Opportunity – Cincinnati Area

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. Our independent contractors play a critical role in patient care by ensuring time-sensitive medical materials are transported safely, securely, and on schedule.

We are currently expanding our Cincinnati-area contractor network and seeking dependable, professional drivers for medical courier opportunities throughout the Greater Cincinnati region.

Opportunity Overview

This opportunity supports hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, medical offices, and healthcare facilities throughout the Cincinnati market.

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.

Preferred Availability

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

• 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM (multiple openings) • 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM (multiple openings) • 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM • 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM • 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (multiple openings) • 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM • 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM / 10:00 PM • 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Contractor Responsibilities

• Complete time-sensitive medical deliveries between healthcare facilities • Transport specimens, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and related healthcare materials securely and accurately • Maintain chain-of-custody procedures and HIPAA compliance standards • Communicate effectively with dispatch personnel and healthcare staff • Meet all scheduled pickup and delivery deadlines • Document pickups and deliveries using company-provided technology • Operate independently while maintaining a high level of professionalism • Represent Accurate Courier Services positively with clients and healthcare partners

Contractor Requirements

• Minimum 21 years of age • Minimum 3 years of licensed driving experience • Reliable vehicle in good operating condition • Valid driver's license and proof of insurance • Smartphone capable of running courier applications • Strong communication skills and professional demeanor • Ability to meet time-sensitive pickup and delivery requirements • Ability to pass required background screening • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision • Strong time-management and organizational skills

Physical and Job Requirements

This is not a sedentary driving position.

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

Many deliveries directly support patient care. Contractors must be dependable, punctual, and capable of maintaining established pickup and delivery schedules. Missed pickups, excessive delays, or failure to follow required procedures are not acceptable.

Why Contractors Choose Accurate Courier Services

• Established national healthcare logistics company • Consistent delivery opportunities throughout the Cincinnati market • Professional dispatch support and onboarding assistance • Opportunity to perform meaningful work supporting patient care • Flexible scheduling based on contractor availability

Next Steps

If you have reliable transportation, professional communication skills, and the ability to succeed in a fast-paced healthcare logistics environment, we encourage you to apply.
