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.

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:

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.
