    • Someone reliable with schedules and commitments
    • A caring communicator who enjoys short, simple check-ins with hospital and blood center staff
    • Willingness to complete a drug screen and background check (no cost to you)

    • Drivers are asked to cover at least two shifts per month
    • Common routes include weekday runs between Duluth and Virginia, Hibbing, and sites in Greater MN and Western WI
