What are the responsibilities and job description for the Independent Contractor Courier - CHS position at Dash Courier & Logistics?
About the Work
Dash Courier & Logistics supports major medical facilities and other industries with same‑day, on‑demand deliveries-often time‑sensitive and mission‑critical. You'll run local on‑demand jobs during your assigned coverage block and may also handle occasional scheduled or routed work when customers request it.
What "Yellow Shirt" Means
"Yellow shirt" drivers commit to being continuously available during a defined daily block to ensure rapid response for on‑demand work. During that block, you'll remain within service range, monitor the app/phone, and be ready to dispatch immediately when offers are brokered to you. (See Compensation & Schedule.)
Core Responsibilities
- Stay available and responsive throughout your assigned coverage block; accept and complete on‑demand deliveries according to shipper instructions.
- Follow all client‑specific protocols and chain‑of‑custody requirements; maintain professional communication and appearance.
- Safely operate your own late‑model Car, SUV, or Minivan; use smartphone‑based GPS for routing and updates.
- Represent Dash Courier & Logistics with punctuality, accuracy, and exceptional service on every stop.
Compensation & Schedule
- Coverage Block: Monday–Friday, 08:00am–5:00pm (local time).
- Guaranteed Daily Rate: $125 per day for completing delivery services during the covered block. Contractors retain the right to reject offers; however, declining jobs may reduce the daily amount due from the $125 offer to reflect the cost of completing the rejected work and related expenses.
- Opportunities to earn additional compensation outside the specified hours may be available by mutual agreement.
Note: Dash operates 24/7/365, but the Yellow Shirt role is designed to ensure daytime coverage; other work may be available based on market needs.

- Age 21 and a late‑model Car/SUV/Minivan suitable for courier work.
