Completing an application for an independently contracted carrier route does not constitute an application for employment. Newspaper route carriers work as independent contractors and are considered self-employed. Candidates interested in separate openings posted within Media General should complete an Application for Employment.
I agree that I have not been offered a contract on a newspaper route, that I am simply applying for said potential contract. I also understand that newspaper carriers must be available seven days a week and in most cases must collect from subscribers in-order to realize a full profit on a route. I understand that if I contract a route and am unable to deliver, I will provide a substitute at my expense to deliver for me as prescribed in the contract. I understand that once I contract a route, I must give a written, 30-day notice prior to leaving the route.
