Our department was always busy and always behind. Management was disorganized so it felt like we were always trying to catch up...and failing miserably. Scheduling was odd...you worked a four day week but on odd days, like Friday through Monday, which left you no life because you'd be sleeping and trying to get caught up on days off. Office was in a cold dingy warehouse in an industrial district which made things awkward on days like Saturday when you were there by yourself and no one was around...it did not feel safe at all. Pay was just ok, benefits weren't really affordable, goals weren't attainable and you never seemed to do enough no matter how much you worked. Oh, and don't get sick EVER or need time off or youre gone. I got covid and was down for several weeks...that was it for me. Truthfully it was a relief. The office was undergoing a merger at the time and I had a feeling my job was going away anyway, so there it was. 

Beware!!  You will be taken advantage of from the moment you first begin.  I loved my work but the management and communication was very poor.  If one of the supervisors has some pick against you, they are permitted to drop the contract with you without further notice.  In my situation, the supervisors rigged data to make it appear that I wasn't meeting delivery time constraints.  When this "data" was "reviewed" by higher managers, the higher managers of course sided with their coworkers and believed everything they were told.  As an independent contractor, you are disposable.  There're always other people waiting in line to take your place. 

I've operated as an independent contractor with MDS now for 3+ years and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Every day is a new day and I take pride in delivering life saving medication to patients in need. Dispatch is friendly and understanding as long as all of the rules and regulations are followed. Typically as long as you communicate when needed there are very little calls coming from dispatch. Perfect position for someone who wants to be their own boss and see different areas of the state and even country. 
I have recommended several of my friends to this company and they even offer referral retainers if they stay on.

Driving long distances and be back before dinner time.
The workload is practically nonexistent.
Don't be late and do the deliveries properly and you're set on getting more routes.
It's not stressful, the lead is easy to work with. 
The lead, and lab understand if you're late due to road hazards, whether it's construction, weather, or a breakdown. All they ask for is our communication. 
The mileage pay is the best. (Excluding CDL mileage)
The lab is always on top of things, so your pickups are rarely late. 
Trainers know all the routes, so you're never lost finding a delivery location.
If you do your work well and have no issues, there is no micromanagement.

You will pay for drug screen and background check (This was expected). During the job offer I asked tons of questions and many couldn't be answered.  I wrote down the pay and route offered to me.  They said your manager would reach out in 48hrs to start you.  I didn't start for a month after the job offer.  The pay was different and the route I was offered was given to another new hire.  The most unprofessional company I ever worked for from start to finish.  Unorganized is a nice way to put things.  The job was ridiculously easy.  Every single other part to SDS Delivery LLC was awful

Illinois manager threatens you with poor schedule if you decide not to do certain run. Unprofessional.
Schedule not consistant. 
Overnight runs and next day early morning delivery.
They use you to their advantage and replace you no matter how much effort you put into work. 
They Hire you as independent contractor meaning you are responsible for car repairs, texes, gas etc in your own car but they treat/order you like if you are their employee.

They don't pay their drivers well at all. They try to treat independent contractors like employees meaning telling them when they can take time off and punish them if they act like a true independent contractor. Management has no idea what it's like to be out on the road and they don't care. They only care about themselves and taking the money for themselves. 
Headquarters are in Florida and they have no idea that the rest of the country doesn't do things like Florida - the expect everyone else to conform to them. Sorry management - half of the country gets snow and/or other bad weather. 

The cost to work this job with just insurance and gas is close to $18,000 a year. Not to mention the maintenance (oil changes, brake pads, tires, etc). The fuel surcharge pays next to nothing (about $50 a week). After all costs you'll be lucky to make $20,000 a year. Unfortunately, the higher-ups are impossible to contact. They do not respond to any input from the couriers. We were told to expect a new contract this year and it turns out it was a slight pay decrease. This company clearly doesn't care about their driver's. 

Delivering pharmaceutical drugs to rehabs.
Management is nonexistent and you can’t get help if you have a problem or the delivery app has errors.  Recruitment tells you what the salary is and then when you start working, they pay you about half of what they told you with many “fees” coming out of your check.  No training whatsoever.  They just throw you out there and there’s no one to answer your questions.  They add to your responsibilities but don’t increase your pay.

I work in the south Florida area and the delivery runs are constantly being manipulated so you can’t make the money you’re tying to make  the pay rate is very low .90 per mile one way then have to drive all the way back to get another run on top of dealing with the lab pharmacist who’s very rude and disrespectful to the drivers.. 
they should be paying more seeing how we are dealing with  nuclear medicine and the wear and tear us drivers are putting on our vehicles
