What positions are available at Bocsit?

We regularly hire for three main roles: Courier Drivers (independent contractors using their own car, SUV, or van for same-day deliveries), Box Truck Drivers (full-time, for local freight and pallet routes — CDL Class B preferred but not required), and Dispatch Coordinators (full-time, office-based in Medford, MA). We also occasionally hire for administrative, customer service, and operations support roles.

Is the Courier Driver position an employee or independent contractor role?

Courier Drivers at Bocsit work as independent contractors (1099). This means you set your own schedule, use your own vehicle, and have the flexibility to accept or decline delivery jobs. You are not required to work set hours — you choose when and how much you work. As an independent contractor, you'll receive a 1099 form for tax purposes and are responsible for your own taxes, vehicle expenses, and insurance.

What are the requirements to become a Bocsit driver?

To drive for Bocsit, you need: a valid driver's license with a clean driving record, a reliable vehicle (car, SUV, van, or truck depending on the role), a smartphone with an active data plan for using the driver app, the ability to lift packages up to 50+ pounds, and you must pass a background check. For medical and legal courier roles, additional training or certifications may be required.

Fill out the application form on this page with your personal information, vehicle type, driver's license number, address, and any relevant experience. After submitting, our team reviews your application — usually within 1-3 business days. If approved, you'll receive login credentials for the Bocsit Driver Portal where you can start accepting jobs.

What happens after I submit my application?

After you submit your application: (1) Our team reviews your information within 1-3 business days. (2) If your application looks good, you'll be contacted for a brief phone or video interview. (3) Upon approval, you'll receive your driver login credentials and onboarding instructions. (4) You'll complete a background check through our self-service system ($35 fee, processed via Stripe). (5) Once verified, you can start accepting delivery jobs immediately.

Is there a fee for the background check?

Yes, there is a one-time $35 background check fee that is processed through our secure Stripe payment system. You can complete this directly from the Driver Portal after your application is approved. The background check verifies your identity, driving record, and criminal history. Once the payment is confirmed, your account is automatically verified and you can begin accepting jobs.

What types of deliveries will I be making?

Bocsit specializes in time-sensitive and high-value deliveries. Common delivery types include: medical specimens and lab samples between hospitals, clinics, and laboratories; legal documents such as court filings, contracts, and subpoenas; same-day packages and parcels for businesses; life sciences and pharmaceutical deliveries; and general courier services across the Greater Boston area. Some deliveries require chain-of-custody handling for compliance purposes.

What areas does Bocsit serve?

Bocsit primarily operates in the Greater Boston metropolitan area, including Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Medford, Framingham, Worcester, and surrounding cities across Massachusetts. Some routes may extend to other New England locations depending on client needs. You can choose jobs within your preferred geographic area.

How does pay work for drivers?

As an independent contractor, you earn money per delivery based on the job type, distance, and urgency. For marketplace jobs, you set your own price by bidding on available deliveries — customers choose the bid they prefer. You receive 80% of the total job value (Bocsit retains a 20% service fee). Payouts are processed through Stripe Connect directly to your linked bank account. You can view your full earnings breakdown — including total job values, platform fees, and your take-home pay — in the Earnings tab of your Driver Portal.

When and how do I get paid?

Payouts are processed through Stripe Connect. Depending on the admin-configured schedule, payouts may be: processed manually by dispatch, automatically at end-of-day, or on a weekly schedule (e.g., every Friday). Once a payout is initiated, funds typically arrive in your bank account within 1-2 business days. You can track all your payouts, pending amounts, and earnings history from your Driver Portal dashboard.

What is the marketplace bidding system?

The Bocsit Marketplace allows customers to post delivery jobs that drivers can bid on. When a job is posted, you'll see it in the 'Jobs' tab of your Driver Portal with details like pickup/delivery locations, dates, and service type. You submit a bid with your proposed price, estimated delivery time, and an optional message. The customer reviews all bids and accepts the one that works best for them. Once accepted and paid, the job is dispatched to you automatically.

Can I choose which deliveries I accept?

Yes, absolutely. As an independent contractor, you have full control over which jobs you accept. For marketplace jobs, you choose which ones to bid on. For dispatched jobs assigned by the admin, you receive a notification and can accept or decline from your Driver Portal. There's no minimum number of deliveries required — you work as much or as little as you want.

Do I need my own vehicle?

Yes, for the Courier Driver (independent contractor) position, you must provide your own vehicle. We accept cars, sedans, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles. Your vehicle should be reliable, clean, and properly insured. For the Box Truck Driver position (full-time), a company vehicle may be provided depending on the role. Vehicle type is specified during the application process.

What insurance do I need?

At minimum, you need valid auto insurance that meets Massachusetts state requirements. For medical and high-value deliveries, additional commercial auto insurance or cargo insurance may be recommended. You'll be asked to upload proof of your insurance, vehicle registration, and driver's license through the Driver Portal. Our admin team reviews these documents as part of the onboarding process.

Is there a driver app?

Yes! Bocsit has a full-featured Driver Portal that works as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your smartphone. You can install it directly from your phone's browser — no app store download needed. The driver app includes: job notifications and acceptance, GPS tracking and navigation, in-app chat with dispatch and customers, earnings tracking and payout history, delivery proof capture (photos, signatures, PIN verification), marketplace bidding, and an SOS emergency alert button.

What is the driver verification process?

After your application is approved, you'll go through a multi-step verification process: (1) Upload your driver's license photo. (2) Upload proof of vehicle insurance and registration. (3) Complete a selfie verification for identity confirmation. (4) Complete the self-service background check ($35 via Stripe). Once all steps are completed and reviewed by our team, your account is fully verified and you can start accepting all types of deliveries, including medical and legal courier jobs.

Can I drive for Bocsit part-time?

Yes. The Courier Driver position is designed for maximum flexibility. Many of our drivers work part-time, evenings, or weekends. You're not required to commit to a set schedule or minimum hours. This makes it ideal for students, semi-retired individuals, or anyone looking for supplemental income. Full-time positions like Box Truck Driver and Dispatch Coordinator have set schedules.

What makes Bocsit different from other delivery platforms?

Bocsit specializes in professional, high-value deliveries — not food or grocery runs. We focus on medical specimens, legal documents, life sciences logistics, and time-critical business deliveries. This means our drivers handle important, often regulated shipments that require professionalism and reliability. We offer competitive pay, a transparent 80/20 split, real-time support from our dispatch team, and a dedicated driver portal with advanced features like GPS tracking, chain-of-custody logging, and gamification rewards.

Is there a driver rating system?

Yes. After each delivery, customers can rate their driver on a 1-5 star scale and leave comments. Drivers can also rate customers. Your average rating is displayed on your profile and visible to customers when they review bids in the marketplace. Maintaining a high rating helps you win more bids and get more dispatched jobs. Top-performing drivers are featured on our Leaderboard with XP points and achievement badges.

How do I contact Bocsit if I have questions?

You can reach our team by phone at (617) 807-0411, by email through the Contact page on our website, or through the in-app chat in your Driver Portal. Our dispatch team is available during business hours to help with any questions about deliveries, payouts, or your account.
