Work EnvironmentIndependently managing assigned routes, often working for logistics or delivery companies
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by courier, parcel, and logistics companies to describe contracted route services
Common Search & ComparisonCompared with Delivery Driver for roles involving route planning and contract-based work

While both Route Contractors and Delivery Drivers are involved in transportation and delivery tasks, Route Contractors typically manage specific routes on a contractual basis, often overseeing multiple deliveries and coordinating schedules independently. Delivery Drivers usually operate under direct employment, focusing on daily delivery tasks within a set route. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right role based on credentials, work environment, and employment type.

FAR Inspections is actively seeking a reliable independent contractor to perform residential mortgage inspections in Bay County, Michigan and surrounding communities. If you live in or near Bay City or anywhere in Bay County, this is a great opportunity to earn supplemental or full-time income on your own schedule.
FAR Inspections is a leading provider of property data for mortgage lenders nationwide. Based in Reno, NV, we have a 12-year track record of excellence and stability in the mortgage field services industry. We partner with highly motivated independent contractors who prioritize accuracy, reliability, and professional autonomy.
The Opportunity
Earn a predictable supplemental or full-time income on a flexible schedule that you control. As a Field Inspector covering Bay County, you will perform residential occupancy verifications. These are brief, exterior visits to confirm property status and report on general conditions.
  • Autonomy: You manage your own routing, schedule, and territory.
  • Efficiency: Standard inspections are designed for speed, typically requiring only 5-6 minutes on-site.
  • Consistency: Enjoy stable, month-to-month volume in your assigned county.
Workflow & Responsibilities
  • Determine property occupancy status based on industry-standard indicators.
  • Capture 9+ photos and submit brief reports using industry-standard mobile applications.
  • Maintain a high level of reliability regarding territory coverage and deadlines.

Note: This role requires spending extended periods of time driving and making numerous stops throughout the day in your assigned territory. This territory features concentrated suburban neighborhoods with efficient stop-to-stop routing and predictable daily volume.
Requirements
As an independent contractor, you are responsible for providing your own equipment, including:
  • Reliable, fuel-efficient vehicle.
  • Smartphone (Android or iPhone) capable of running mobile reporting apps.
  • Computer with an internet connection and a printer.
  • Strong time-management skills to meet deadlines without direct supervision.
  • Ability to pass a standard background check.
Earnings & Volume
  • Flat-Rate Pay: This is a 1099 position where you are paid a set fee for every inspection completed.
  • Earning Potential: While pay is per-inspection, efficient contractors typically earn the equivalent of $25-$35 per hour.
  • Volume: Rates and inspection volume vary by county. Lower volume counties typically feature higher per-inspection rates, while higher volume counties offer more consistent daily work.
  • This Territory: Bay County averages approximately 25 inspections per month.
