Courier Industry Background Screening

Courier companies hold a unique position within the transportation industry. Relied upon to handle deliveries that are time-sensitive or require special handling that cannot be achieved through other methods, couriers fill the gap left by traditional delivery services. Trustworthy and competent drivers are needed to successfully fulfill the demands of courier customers and background screening provides a means to carefully examine each applicant.

Often courier companies rely on independent contractors to meet the ebb and flow of their staffing needs. Independent contractors offer the flexibility and immediacy of qualified drivers that can be called upon as needed. With these benefits come a whole slew of operational, legal, and often contractual obligations. One such obligation is background screening for independent contractors. Managers must assure that the drivers who represent their company – whether employees or contractors – are adequately screened.
