About The Position

Rapid Medical is seeking an independent-contractor medical courier to run a 69-mile route from San Gabriel to Los Angeles, Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 PM and lasting approximately five hours (until about 12:30 AM). Contractors located within 15 miles of the start point, end point, or along the route are well-suited for this position. The all-inclusive rate is $122 per route and includes mileage, drive time, and expenses; there is no separate per-mile pay. Weekly bonuses may also be available. Payments are made by bi-weekly direct deposit or same-day cash-out, with fees potentially applying to cash-out. Couriers use the driver app for navigation, scheduling, real-time support, and proof-of-delivery records. They handle specimens carefully and maintain the required temperature, whether room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen. Rapid Medical provides a branded shirt and bag, onboarding that includes an app walkthrough, route preview, and protocol training, plus real-time dispatch support. Engagement is contingent on satisfactory background and motor vehicle record reviews. As an independent contractor, the courier is responsible for self-employment taxes; Rapid Medical issues a 1099-NEC for payments made.
