Although large vehicles are typically preferred for NOW Courier customers, cars and box trucks are sometimes required, as detailed in each opportunity description.
Full-size SUVs
Qualified full-size SUVs must have at least 120 cubic feet of cargo space.
​
Full-size SUVs like the Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition MAX, and GMC Yukon are excellent for delivery drivers, offering extensive cargo space for larger items and powerful engines for heavy loads. Their capability to navigate different terrains and weather conditions ensures reliability. Comfortable seating also helps reduce driver fatigue, making these SUVs a practical and comfortable option for extensive driving.
Minivans
Minivans are ideal for delivery drivers due to their spacious interiors and adjustable seating that can create extra cargo space. They offer a smooth ride and are fuel-efficient, beneficial for long hours on the road. Additionally, their lower loading heights simplify loading and unloading, increasing convenience and reducing physical strain for drivers.
Cargo Vans
Cargo vans are perfect for delivery drivers, featuring large, customizable cargo spaces tailored for transporting various goods. Their sturdy construction and powerful engines handle heavy loads effortlessly, while enclosed cargo areas secure valuable items. The practical design, with high roofs and large rear doors, simplifies loading and unloading, making cargo vans a top choice for efficient and secure deliveries.
Possess a passion for helping others
Empathy. Drive. Agility. Reliability. These are the values that guide what we do, why we deliver, and who we contract. We want people who are accepting of others, passionate for our mission, able to adjust readily, and always maintain a professional demeanor.
Reside close to a NOW Courier hub
NOW Courier serves the entire state of Indiana and extends into Cincinnati and Louisville. To best serve our customers, we recommend that applicants live within one hour of our hubs in Indianapolis, Merrillville, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, IN, and Louisville, KY.
Possess commercial or business-use vehicle insurance
Due to the nature of the freight we transport, all vehicles must be covered by a commercial auto insurance policy with a minimum of $300,000 in combined single-limit coverage. If you choose a personal insurance policy, it must also meet this limit and explicitly state that your vehicle is insured for "business use." We also provide assistance in accessing affordable insurance plans through a third-party provider.
Agree to a driver screen
Given the industries we serve, all applicants are subject to a driver screening process that evaluates your driving history, a criminal background check, and a substance abuse test.
Leverage a business mindset
Independent contract drivers are self-managed business owners. They supply their own equipment, manage cash flow and business finances, pay taxes, handle the maintenance and legal aspects of their business, and understand that upfront and ongoing business investments will likely be needed.
Please refer to the FAQ section for a complete list of requirements.

Does my large SUV qualify?
