Delivery Jobs in Orange County for Contract Drivers

This is contract delivery driving. You collect a delivery at a pickup, drive it to the drop-off and get paid by the mile. You are an independent contractor, you bring your own vehicle, and JWA pays you every week.

JWA Logistics contracts independent couriers and drivers around Los Angeles. It works out of an office near LAX at 440 Hindry Ave, Suite D, Inglewood, CA 90301. Drivers who live in Orange County take the work with the vehicle they already own.

The short version: pick the vehicle you have, check the pay below, then call or text 805-336-7112 or apply online. You can also browse all JWA driver jobs.

Most of Orange County is about 25 to 50 miles from JWA's LAX office, which puts it in JWA's second distance band.

JWA measures its work in bands out from LAX. Most work is within 20 miles. A second band runs 20 to 50 miles out. A third runs 50 to 100 miles out, and some runs go longer. Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine and Huntington Beach all sit in that 25 to 50 mile range. South Orange County reaches toward 50 miles and past it. If you live closer to Long Beach, about 20 miles from LAX, see driver jobs near Long Beach.

Distances are approximate. Before you take a job, ask for the pickup and the drop-off and work out the whole trip, including your drive from home. Because pay is per mile, a longer run means more paid miles. Whether a job is worth it from your driveway depends on the pickup, the drop-off and the rate.

For delivery driver jobs in Orange County, CA, bring a sedan, a van or a box truck. Every JWA contractor drives their own vehicle, and there is no limit on its age.

• Sedans. JWA contracts sedan drivers too.
• Vans. Cargo vans, compact cargo vans and Sprinter-type vans. More on cargo van driver jobs.
• Box trucks. 16, 20 and 26 ft. A liftgate and a pallet jack are strongly preferred, not required. More on box truck driver jobs.

You don't need a CDL. In California a standard Class C license covers a single vehicle up to 26,000 lbs GVWR, which includes 16 to 26 ft box trucks, cargo vans and sedans. JWA has no CDL-B routes.

Delivery jobs in Orange County pay $1.20 to $3.00 a mile through JWA, and JWA pays weekly. Pay depends on the job. Vehicle type moves the rate most. Ready time comes next: how soon your vehicle must be at pickup.

Examples from JWA:

• A sedan job scheduled a day or two ahead pays near $1.20 a mile.
• A cargo van that must be ready for pickup in 4 hours pays about $2 a mile.
• A box truck needed at a location within the hour goes toward $3.00 a mile.

Pay is per mile, so a longer run means more paid miles. JWA doesn't promise weekly totals, because what you earn depends on your vehicle, the jobs you take and the miles in them. Ask for the rate on a job before you say yes.

To start driving jobs in Orange County with JWA, you need four things:

• You are 18 or older.
• You have a valid driver's license.
• You have standard insurance on your vehicle.
• You have your own sedan, van or box truck.

If you drive a box truck, you also run JWA's box truck loads under your own USDOT number.

JWA doesn't run a driving-record check, a background check or a drug test. If you're new to delivery driving, read delivery work with no experience.

Getting driver jobs in Orange County through JWA starts with a call or text to 805-336-7112, or an application. Contractors reach JWA directly, by phone, text or the form.

When you reach out, tell JWA:

• when you are free to drive

That lets JWA tell you what fits your vehicle and your location.
