Critical Medical Shipments / Independent Contractor Drivers in Raleigh/Durham

Independent contractor courier role in the Raleigh/Durham area delivering parcels within committed time windows for Mercury Critical Courier LLC. Drivers operate as independent business entities, using their own vehicle (preference for 2016+ white van), with Android/iOS data-enabled phones, and are responsible for updating POD via the company app. The opportunity offers a revenue model with 10-20% over market median, weekly settlements on Fridays, and potential for additional earnings through TSA certification and Dangerous Goods Class A/B. Available routes include daily routes (2-4 hours/day on average) or on-demand/STAT shipments 24/7 with no minimums, covering the Boston area per the description but the posting lists Raleigh/Durham as the target locale. The program emphasizes independence, flexibility in selecting time windows, routes, and the ability to contract with multiple customers. Applicants must be able to lift 50 lbs, clear background checks, and meet drug screening/MVR requirements, with required documentation including EIN, DOT (if applicable), registrations, photos, and insurance. Onboarding can occur quickly via Gigsafe, and contractors will be reviewed by Mercury’s Independent Contractor Sourcing Department.
