baggage delivery contractor

Hollywood FL

Description

Baggage Express LLC operates at airports to deliver delayed baggage from the airport to the passenger’s home or hotel etc. Our normal operation is to pick up at the airport several times a day on a scheduled basis. We call these scheduled pickups, sweeps. Each sweep has one or two drivers with one of them being the lead and responsible for the sweep. We use an app that shows what deliveries we have ahead of time so we normally know if the lead will need the back up or additional back up drivers before their sweep. The lead is responsible for the sweep and also to make the routes worthwhile for their back up driver. After collecting the deliveries from each airline that has deliveries on their sweep, the deliveries are divided as is practical by the lead driver. On sweeps that normally need more than one driver they work as a team on a long term basis. Deliveries then are loaded in their vehicles and delivered in route with normally the closest first and the farthest last. Compensation: Deliveries are paid based on distance. We use 7 zones which are 10 mile circles from the airport. Zone A would be 0 to 10 miles, zone B 11 to 20 miles, etc. After 70 miles we pay mileage one way. Each delivery pays separately so if you have several deliveries each one pays full commission even though they may all be going in the same direction or even to the same area. Contractors can commit to as few or as many scheduled sweeps as they choose but I ask that if you commit to being available for a sweep that you do your best to be always available for that sweep. We will work with your availability. Many independent contractors work several gigs at the same time and thats fine except I ask that while you are delivering baggage you do not let other obligations delay your deliveries but that you will deliver in route as practically as you can. As a contractor you are fully responsible for the baggage in your possession until it is signed for or left per instructions and a photo is taken. Contractors will need a dependable van or car,(mini vans work best for this ) insurance, a smart phone, and gps or a great map collection. Also need to be able to pass a FBI/TSA background check. Before you respond to this letter let me say that we are looking for a few contractors that can work independently but also as a team. We are in the slow season right now so it is a great time to start. The summer is our busy season and we would like to have our drivers ready. We have been in business for over 27 years and normally have people that stay with us for many years. FLL is a new airport for us and it will take a little time to work out the system there. Our manager for FLL is Ray Hober who has been with us for several years and will work with you to make this not only profitable for you but hopefully something you are glad you are part of. I will work to make this the best it can be for everyone involved. Baggage Express LLC is a christian-owned company where you will be treated with respect, paid as well as we are able, and encouraged to stay with us for many years. thank you, Bill Olander, general manager All deliveries pay full commission from the airport no matter how many you have on your route. This is how it works for our drivers, as a route may be anywhere from a few deliveries to a van full. We try to route the deliveries in the same direction as best we can. Alot of people ask about how much the pay is, it varies depending on the season and the contractors vehical capacity and ability etc. Some drivers are fine with just taking a few to make a little extra money, some buy a mini van, are available as much as they can be and want all they can get. miles zone FLL standard miles zone pay 0-10 A $8 11-20 B $9 21-30 C $14 31-40 D $19 41-50 E $23 51-60 F $30 61-70 G $40 71+ M $0.70 this is per delivery and as I said we try to put together the routes in the same direction as much as we are able.
