Medical delivery platforms are recruiting drivers to meet the surging demand for on-demand supply runs.

Over the past two weeks, demand for same-day prescription delivery has spiked across several U.S. metro areas. In response, major health logistics platforms are now offering higher incentives for drivers who can complete urgent medicine drop-offs.

Drivers using their own cars are reporting earnings between $2,000 and $2,400 per week, often by completing 10–12 deliveries a day at $30 to $45 per stop. The work typically involves picking up prescriptions from local pharmacies and delivering them to patients — many of whom are homebound or avoiding busy areas due to protests or ongoing public health concerns.

Unlike food delivery, medical supply runs are more stable, tip better, and often come with bonuses for urgency or long-distance hauls. With increased pay and flexible hours, many part-time workers, rideshare drivers, and even retirees are signing up.

“I switched from rideshare to prescription delivery last month. I’m working fewer hours but making more money — and it feels good to help people,” says Marcus J., a driver in Atlanta.

Some platforms are even offering sign-up bonuses of up to $500 for new drivers in high-demand zones.

As telehealth services expand and pharmacies move more operations online, the role of fast, secure medicine delivery is becoming critical — and for drivers, it’s paying off.
