We're looking for dependable Owner-Operators with a High-Roof Sprinter Van (or comparable cargo van) to run a dedicated residential delivery route in the Sumter, SC area. This is a long-term, consistent contract opportunity — a 1099 Independent Contractor position — for a professional owner-operator looking for steady work with a growing company.
Position Overview:
• Dedicated residential delivery route
• Arrive at the store no later than 1:30 PM daily to prepare for loading; scheduled route departure is approximately 2:00 PM
• Routes typically run 8–10 hours
• 7 days a week
• Long-term, consistent work
• Pay is biweekly via direct deposit. Your first paycheck depends on your start date relative to the payroll cutoff — if you start after the cutoff, your first pay is included in the following pay period. After that, you're on the regular biweekly schedule.
Contract Expectations:
• Arrive no later than 1:30 PM every scheduled workday and be prepared to depart once the route is released
• Complete the assigned route the same day while meeting the client's performance expectations
• Maintain an average delivery pace of approximately 7–8 stops per hour
• Safely load, secure, and deliver all assigned packages
• Scan every package and capture the required proof of delivery photo through the delivery app
• Maintain a professional appearance and provide excellent customer service
• Keep your cargo van clean, reliable, and in safe operating condition
• Immediately communicate any delays, accidents, vehicle issues, or anything that could impact route completion
• Follow all client policies, app procedures, and safety requirements
• Maintain a valid driver's license, commercial auto insurance, and pass the required background screening
A note on the time commitment: Routes are designed for up to 10 hours. If packages remain, working up to the 10-hour mark is mandatory — the route is expected to be completed the same day. If your van is loaded strategically before you leave the store, you stay focused, and you keep a steady pace, these routes often wrap up in 8 hours or less. Organization matters more than almost anything else here — a few extra minutes spent loading smart at the store saves real time on the road.
What you need:
• Your own cargo van (standard or high-roof, minimum 300 cu ft cargo space) — no box trucks, SUVs, or pickups
• Clean, well-maintained van — no major dents, odors, or damage
• Current, valid driver's license and clean driving record
• Current commercial auto insurance
• Android smartphone (or willingness to run a delivery app on your personal device)
• Ability to pass a background check
• Professional appearance — uniform is solid black throughout (polo tucked in, cargo pants or knee-length shorts, closed-toe all-black shoes, black belt if loops, optional plain black cap; no logos or colored branding)
• High-visibility safety vest required while making stops
• Reliability — this route has firm daily arrival times

• Approximately 70–100 stops per day.
• Approximately 90–160 miles per day, depending on package volume and routing.
