Contract Delivery Driver (Part time)

Okanogan Valley Transportation LLC is seeking a dependable, self-motivated independent contractor to serve as the permanent relief driver for an established USPS Contract Delivery Service route based in Oroville, Washington.

This is a long-term 1099 independent-contractor opportunity covering the route every Friday and Saturday on a regular, ongoing basis.

Compensation

$325 per day

Approximately $650 per week for the regular Friday/Saturday schedule.

Compensation is based on completion of scheduled route service and is not hourly.

The contractor is responsible for their own taxes and vehicle-related operating expenses.

Schedule

• Every Friday and Saturday
• Permanent, year-round relief position
• Applicable USPS holidays off
• Morning start
• Consistent two-day-per-week commitment required

Daily completion time may vary based on mail and parcel volume, weather, and operating conditions.

Scope of Work

Responsibilities include:

• Sorting and casing mail and packages into delivery sequence
• Loading the delivery vehicle
• Completing the established USPS delivery route
• Delivering mail and parcels to customers
• Collecting outgoing mail and packages
• Using USPS scanning equipment and following required delivery procedures
• Handling parcels weighing up to 70 lbs.

Reliability, organization, and the ability to work independently are essential. The selected contractor will be responsible for the route each Friday and Saturday and should be available consistently for the long term.

Vehicle Requirements

The contractor is responsible for providing and maintaining a dependable vehicle suitable for USPS contract delivery.

The USPS contract specifies a minimum of 120 cubic feet of usable load space. Applicants who do not currently own a qualifying vehicle may still apply if they are willing and able to obtain an acceptable vehicle before beginning independent route service.

All-wheel drive or four-wheel drive is strongly preferred due to rural roads and winter conditions.

The contractor is responsible for vehicle fuel, maintenance, repairs, registration, and required insurance.

Qualifications

Applicants must:

• Be highly reliable and self-motivated
• Be comfortable working independently
• Be able to commit to every Friday and Saturday on an ongoing basis
• Have a valid driver's license and at least two years of driving experience
• Be comfortable driving rural roads in varying weather conditions
• Be able to safely handle mail and parcels associated with route delivery
• Maintain a professional attitude when interacting with USPS personnel and customers
• Be able to successfully complete applicable USPS background, suitability, security-clearance, and driving-record requirements

USPS clearance is required before performing independent route service. The screening process includes a background investigation and review of the applicant's driving record. Felony convictions, DUI history, serious driving violations, or other disqualifying criminal or driving-history issues may affect USPS eligibility, with final suitability determined by the Postal Service.

Prior USPS, rural-carrier, mail-delivery, courier, or other delivery-route experience is helpful but not required.

Independent Contractor Arrangement

This opportunity is structured as a 1099 independent-contractor relationship. The contractor provides their own vehicle and is responsible for the associated operating expenses.

Route-specific training will be provided before the selected contractor assumes independent responsibility for the route.

This position is intended for someone seeking a stable, long-term part-time opportunity with a predictable Friday/Saturday schedule.

Interested applicants should apply with a resume or brief summary of relevant work and driving experience.

Pay: $325.00 per day
