Cargo Van Jobs in Los Angeles: Contract Work With Your Own Van

Cargo van jobs with JWA are contract delivery runs around LAX, driven in your own van. JWA works out of its LAX office at 440 Hindry Ave, Suite D, Inglewood, CA 90301. Most van work is within 20 miles of that office.

You work as an independent contractor. You bring the van, a valid license and standard vehicle insurance. JWA brings the delivery runs and pays you weekly, by the mile.

If you searched for van driver jobs in Los Angeles, cargo van delivery jobs or cargo van driver jobs, this is what JWA offers: a driver, a van and a delivery to make. Three things decide the work: the van you drive, the rate per mile and how soon you have to be at pickup. The sections below cover all three, plus what JWA requires and how to start.

JWA contracts cargo vans, compact cargo vans and Sprinter-type high-roof vans. Drive the one you already own. Tell JWA what it is and ask which runs fit it.

• Compact cargo van: the smallest of the three. It suits smaller loads.
• Cargo van: the standard work van, with more room than a compact.
• Sprinter-type high-roof van: the most room of the three. It suits larger and taller loads.

A load that outgrows a van goes to a box truck. JWA also contracts 16, 20 and 26 ft box trucks and sedans, so each job goes to a vehicle that fits it.

Looking for Sprinter van jobs or Sprinter van jobs near me? A Sprinter-type van qualifies. If you're within about 100 miles of LAX, you can apply with it the same way as any other van.

If you own a cargo van, you already have what JWA contracts. Every JWA contractor brings their own vehicle, so cargo van owner operator jobs and JWA's van driver jobs are the same work.

JWA's cargo van contracts pay by the mile, from $1.20 to $3.00, and pay weekly. You run your own van as an independent contractor, with standard vehicle insurance. If you've searched for owner operator cargo van jobs or an independent van contract, the first step is simple: tell JWA what you drive and where you're based.

One thing to know before you apply: you need the van first. JWA works with contractors who already have their vehicle, so this work starts once you do. When you're ready, apply here.

JWA pays $1.20 to $3.00 a mile, and a cargo van that has to be ready for pickup in 4 hours pays about $2 a mile. The rate depends on the job.

Two things move it. Vehicle type moves the rate most. Ready time comes next: how soon your vehicle has to be at pickup. JWA's examples show the pattern:

• Sedan, job scheduled a day or two ahead: near $1.20 a mile.
• Cargo van, ready for pickup in 4 hours: about $2 a mile.
• Box truck, needed at a location within the hour: toward $3.00 a mile.

Pay is by the mile, and JWA pays weekly. What you earn in a week depends on the jobs you run and the miles you drive, so this page doesn't quote weekly totals. Ask about the rate for a specific run when you call or text 805-336-7112.

Most cargo van work is within 20 miles of LAX. Van delivery jobs with JWA run in three bands from the Inglewood office:

• Up to 20 miles from LAX: most of the work.
• 20 to 50 miles out: a second band.
• 50 to 100 miles out: a third band.

JWA also has some long-haul runs past those bands. Ask about them when you call.

If you're typing van driver jobs near me or cargo van jobs near me, the question is whether you're within about 100 miles of LAX. If you are, apply. Living in Long Beach or Orange County? Both sit in the first two bands, and each has its own page.

You need to be 18 or older, hold a valid driver's license and have your own van with standard vehicle insurance. Here is what JWA asks for:

• 18 or older.
• A valid driver's license.
• Your own cargo van, compact cargo van or Sprinter-type van, with standard vehicle insurance. JWA sets no limit on the vehicle's age.
• No CDL. A standard California Class C license covers a van, so these are van driver jobs with no CDL. Non-CDL driver work covers the rest of what you can drive.
• No driving-record check, no background check and no drug test.
• No delivery experience required.

Call or text 805-336-7112, or fill out the application. Both reach JWA directly.

• Call or text 805-336-7112. Say you drive a van, which type, and where you're based.
• Or apply online. Use it if you'd rather write than call.
• Get paid weekly. JWA pays contractors weekly, by the mile for the runs you deliver.

For cargo van jobs near LAX, a call or text is the quickest way to ask what's open for your van.

A box truck is the next step up from a van, and in California it still doesn't need a CDL. JWA contracts 16, 20 and 26 ft box trucks. A standard Class C license covers single vehicles up to 26,000 lbs GVWR, and JWA has no CDL-B routes.

Box truck work can pay more per mile. JWA's example of a box truck needed at a location within the hour is toward $3.00 a mile. Read the box truck driver page for what that work involves, or the non-CDL driver page for everything you can drive on a Class C license, sedan to 26 ft.
