title: UPS Feeder Truck Driver (CDL-A)

description:
Drive the Backbone of the UPS Network

While the brown package cars handle the neighborhoods, the massive UPS Feeder network keeps the entire continent connected. As a UPS Feeder Truck Driver, you represent the elite tier of commercial driving. You will pilot an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer, transporting massive volumes of consolidated freight between UPS hubs, distribution centers, and major rail yards. This is a highly coveted, career-track commercial driving job offering extreme route stability, exceptional equipment, and unmatched union benefits. If you possess a Class A CDL and want to escape the unpredictable lifestyle of OTR trucking in favor of local or regional routes that get you home daily, UPS Feeders is the ultimate destination.

Commercial Postal Operations

Heavy Freight Transport: Safely operate massive tractor-trailer combinations (including double and triple trailers where applicable), hauling thousands of packages overnight between major sorting facilities.

Drop-and-Hook Efficiency: Enjoy a highly efficient workflow. The vast majority of UPS Feeder routes are drop-and-hook, meaning you will simply back into the dock, drop an empty trailer, hook up to a fully loaded one, and immediately hit the highway without ever touching the freight.

Strict Dispatch Adherence: The UPS network operates on a schedule down to the minute. You must utilize exceptional time-management and highway navigation skills to ensure you never miss a designated departure window.

Federal Safety Compliance: Conduct rigorous DOT pre-trip and post-trip vehicle safety inspections daily, ensuring air brakes, lights, and trailer connections are flawless before entering the interstate.

The Federal CDL Advantage

Career Status & Elite Benefits: UPS Feeder Drivers enjoy industry-leading, union-negotiated hourly wages (no unpaid wait times), incredible traditional pension plans, and premium, zero-deductible health insurance for life.

Home Daily Stability: Say goodbye to sleeping in truck stops. Feeder routes are primarily localized or regional turns, guaranteeing you return to your home terminal at the end of every shift.

Top-Tier Equipment: UPS maintains one of the safest, most modern commercial fleets in the world, equipped with advanced safety technology and meticulously maintained by in-house diesel mechanics.

Requirements

Must be at least 21 years old. You must possess a valid, active Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) with a pristine Motor Vehicle Record. Doubles/Triples and Hazmat endorsements are heavily preferred or required. You must pass a comprehensive DOT physical examination, federal background check, and rigorous drug screening.

title: UPS Sleeper Team Driver (CDL-A Long Haul)

description:
Cross-Country Logistics at Maximum Velocity

When high-priority freight needs to cross the country faster than a train but cheaper than an airplane, UPS relies on elite Sleeper Team Drivers. In this high-mileage, incredibly lucrative role, you will partner with a co-driver to operate a custom-built UPS sleeper tractor across massive interstate routes. While one driver pilots the rig, the other rests in the DOT-approved sleeper berth, allowing the truck to move continuously from coast to coast. This is the absolute highest-earning driving position within the UPS network, designed for road warriors who want maximum miles paired with legendary Teamster benefits.

Long Haul Operations

Continuous Coast-to-Coast Transit: Safely operate a commercial tractor pulling twin 28-foot trailers (doubles) or standard 53-foot vans across extensive multi-day interstate routes, running non-stop between major national hubs.

Team Synchronization: Work flawlessly with your co-driver to manage Hours of Service (HOS) logs, coordinate fuel stops, and ensure the freight never stops moving.

Drop-and-Hook Efficiency: Maximize your driving hours. You will not touch the freight. You simply drop your loaded trailers at the destination hub, hook up to outbound trailers, and head back across the country.

All-Weather Navigation: Traverse massive geographical distances, requiring extreme proficiency in driving through diverse weather conditions, from desert heat to Rocky Mountain snowstorms.

Why Drive Sleeper Teams for UPS?

Maximum Earning Potential: UPS Sleeper Teams are among the highest-compensated in the trucking industry. With highly lucrative mileage rates combined with delay pay and drop/hook pay, you can comfortably earn an elite six-figure salary.

Unmatched Union Benefits: Even while operating over-the-road, you retain the legendary UPS Teamsters benefits package, including a phenomenal pension, zero-premium healthcare, and massive paid time off accruals.

Modern Equipment: Drive incredibly well-maintained, modern sleeper tractors equipped with premium mattresses, APUs, refrigerators, and advanced safety telemetry.

title: UPS Seasonal Support Driver (Personal Vehicle)

description:
Deliver the Holidays with Your Own Car

During the explosive winter peak season, the volume of packages exceeds the capacity of the iconic brown trucks. To ensure every holiday gift arrives on time, UPS deploys a massive fleet of Seasonal Support Drivers (SSDs)—formerly known as Personal Vehicle Drivers (PVDs). This is a highly lucrative, short-term gig economy role where you are an actual W-2 employee of UPS, utilizing your own personal vehicle to execute high-density neighborhood deliveries. If you want a temporary job to aggressively maximize your income and bypass standard gig-apps for guaranteed hourly pay and massive mileage reimbursement, this is the ultimate holiday hustle.

Seasonal Route Operations

Neighborhood Dispatch: You will meet a UPS brown truck at a designated local rendezvous point (like a large parking lot) or pick up your route directly from the local facility, transferring a specific manifest of packages into your personal vehicle.

High-Volume Residential Routing: Utilize a UPS-provided smartphone to navigate an ultra-dense residential route. You will be delivering a massive volume of holiday packages, clothes, and electronics to your local community.

Fast-Paced Fulfillment: The days are fast, physical, and exhilarating. You will be continuously moving packages from your car to the porch, walking briskly to clear the massive daily holiday backlog before sunset.

Customer Obsession: Act as a friendly, professional representative of UPS. You must handle packages with care, hiding them securely from "porch pirates" and capturing delivery photos.

The Peak Season Reward

Unlike gig apps where pay fluctuates based on tips, UPS Seasonal Support Drivers earn a massive, guaranteed hourly base wage, plus overtime (time-and-a-half) during the peak rush. Crucially, UPS pays the federal mileage reimbursement rate (over 60 cents per mile) tax-free for every mile you drive, covering your gas and wear-and-tear entirely. You also get paid weekly!

Requirements

Must be at least 21 years of age. You must possess a valid driver's license with an impeccable driving record. You must own a reliable, enclosed personal vehicle (Mid-size sedans, SUVs, Minivans, or covered Pickup Trucks are required; no motorcycles or 2-door sports cars). Exceptional physical stamina is required to walk and lift packages up to 70 lbs. A rapid-clearance background check is required.

Ride Shotgun in the Brown Truck

Do you want to earn incredible holiday cash and get a massive physical workout, but don't want the stress of driving? Become a UPS Seasonal Driver Helper! During the peak holiday season, our regular Package Delivery Drivers are overwhelmed by volume. Your job is to ride in the passenger seat (the "jump seat") of the iconic brown package car and act as the delivery muscle. You jump out, run the package to the door, and jump back in, allowing the driver to navigate seamlessly. This is a high-energy, completely outdoor role that pays excellent hourly wages.

Driver Helper Duties

Rapid Deployment: You will meet your assigned UPS driver at a designated location in your neighborhood. You hop in the truck and immediately begin executing the delivery route.

High-Speed Pedestrian Logistics: As the truck pulls up to an address, you grab the designated package, jog to the customer's front porch, secure the package, and hustle back to the truck. You are the legs of the operation.

Heavy Lifting: The holidays mean heavy gifts. You must be prepared to manually lift, carry, and maneuver boxes weighing up to 70 pounds across icy walkways, up apartment stairs, and up steep driveways.

Navigational Support: Assist the driver with spotting addresses, organizing the packages in the back of the truck for the next street, and maintaining a fast-paced operational rhythm.

The Helper Advantage

This is the ultimate seasonal job for college students, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to make aggressive weekly income without putting miles on their own car. You earn a highly competitive hourly wage, and because you are constantly running, the shift flies by. You get paid to exercise outdoors, and top performers are frequently invited to apply for permanent warehouse or driving positions after the season ends.

Requirements

Must be at least 18 years old. No driver's license is required, as you will not be operating the vehicle! You must possess elite physical stamina and athletic endurance; you will be walking miles a day and continuously lifting up to 70 lbs in winter weather conditions. You must be highly reliable, punctual, and able to follow direct instructions from the driver. A background check is mandatory.

Command the Logistics Yard

Behind every massive UPS sorting facility is an intense, perfectly choreographed ballet of semi-trailers. As a UPS Yard Shifter (also known as a Hostler or Yard Jockey), you are the conductor of this chaos. You will pilot a specialized terminal tractor (a "yard goat") to rapidly move 28-foot and 53-foot trailers between the inbound gates, the loading docks, and the staging yard. This role is pure driving execution—no highway traffic, no customers, no unloading freight. If you have incredible backing skills, love operating heavy machinery, and want to earn top-tier union wages while sleeping in your own bed every night, this is your job.

Yard Operations

High-Speed Trailer Relocation: Operate a highly maneuverable terminal tractor to rapidly shuttle loaded and empty semi-trailers across the massive UPS asphalt yard, ensuring dock doors are never sitting empty.

Precision Backing: Execute flawless, tight-clearance backing maneuvers. You will routinely slide 53-foot trailers into narrow dock doors with inches of clearance on either side, requiring elite spatial awareness and mirror management.

Constant Communication: Maintain continuous radio contact with dispatchers and dock supervisors, executing a dynamic, ever-changing list of trailer moves to keep the internal sortation lines fed with freight.

Safety & Yard Auditing: Hook and unhook air lines and fifth wheels hundreds of times a shift. You must strictly enforce yard speed limits, perform safety checks on trailer landing gear, and ensure the yard remains entirely accident-free.

The Shifter Advantage

Yard Shifters enjoy the best of commercial driving without the headaches. You never deal with highway weigh stations, DOT logbooks (in the closed yard), or aggressive city traffic. You receive phenomenal hourly union pay, elite healthcare benefits, and a robust pension plan. The shifts are incredibly active and fast-paced, making the workday fly by.

Requirements

Must be at least 21 years old. A valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) is required. You must have an absolutely pristine driving record and verifiable experience backing semi-trailers in tight quarters. You must have the physical agility to constantly climb in and out of the tractor cab and connect heavy air hoses. A rigorous federal background check, DOT physical, and drug screen are required.

title: UPS Supply Chain Solutions Box Truck Driver

description:
Drive the B2B Freight Network

While the world knows UPS for small brown boxes, UPS Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) handles the heavy, complex, and specialized freight that powers global businesses. As a UPS SCS Box Truck Driver, you step away from residential porches and dive directly into B2B (Business-to-Business) commercial logistics. You will pilot a massive 24-to-26-foot straight truck equipped with a heavy-duty hydraulic liftgate to transport palletized freight, medical equipment, and high-value retail goods directly to commercial loading docks. This role offers highly structured, predictable daytime hours and eliminates the stress of residential routing.

Commercial Route Duties

Dedicated B2B Routing: Execute a highly efficient, multi-stop route between commercial industrial parks, hospitals, and retail distribution centers, ensuring businesses receive their heavy freight on time.

Heavy Liftgate Operations: This is a hands-on role. Because you are delivering to businesses without proper loading docks, you will rely heavily on your truck's hydraulic liftgate and a manual pallet jack to lower 1,000+ lb pallets to the street level safely.

Logistics Documentation: Serve as the primary professional point of contact for the corporate client. You must meticulously verify freight conditions, sign Bills of Lading (BOLs), and utilize handheld scanners to confirm chain-of-custody.

The SCS Advantage

Enjoy a rock-solid schedule, typically Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, getting you home every single night. This role provides a calm, professional working environment, competitive hourly pay, and the legendary suite of UPS corporate benefits including elite health insurance, 401(k), and paid holidays.

Requirements

Must be 21+ years old with a valid driver's license. A Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL-B) is highly preferred and often required for the weight class of the box truck.

Lead the Fleet on the Frontlines

The iconic brown trucks don't run themselves; they require elite, tactical leadership. As a UPS On-Road Dispatch Supervisor, you transition from behind the wheel to leading the men and women who drive the routes. You are the operational commander for a dedicated team of Package Delivery Drivers. Your objective is to ensure every route in your center departs on time, operates safely, and completes its service guarantees. If you have a profound understanding of route logistics, elite leadership skills, and the desire to build a salaried corporate career within UPS, this is your launchpad.

Driver Mentorship: Train new drivers from scratch. You will teach them the "5 Seeing Habits" of safe driving, how to master the DIAD scanner, and how to execute the physical demands of the job safely to prevent injury.

Incident Resolution: Act as the first responder for any on-road emergencies. If a driver has a mechanical breakdown, encounters an aggressive dog, or is involved in an accident, you are the commanding officer dispatched to the scene to resolve the crisis.

This is a salaried, management-level position that serves as the direct pipeline to becoming a Center Manager.

title: UPS Preload Package Handler (Early Morning)

description:
Build the Route Before the Sun Comes Up

Every morning, thousands of UPS drivers jump into perfectly loaded trucks, turn the key, and hit the road. That seamless execution is only possible because of the UPS Preload Package Handler. Operating during the very early morning hours (typically 3:00 AM to 8:00 AM), you are the architect of the delivery route. You will stand inside the back of the brown package cars, catching packages off a high-speed conveyor belt and loading them sequentially based on the driver's route map. If you want a fast-paced, intensely physical part-time job that provides incredible union benefits and frees up your entire day, this is the most critical warehouse role at UPS.

Preload Operations

High-Speed Package Sorting: Read alphanumeric routing codes on packages flying down the conveyor belt. You must quickly identify which packages belong to the 3 or 4 trucks you are assigned to load.

Sequential Truck Loading: This is a game of high-stakes Tetris. You must physically load the packages onto the specific interior shelves of the package car in the exact order the driver will deliver them, ensuring the heaviest boxes are safely secured on the floor.

Extreme Physical Conditioning: Skip the gym forever. You will be continuously twisting, bending, reaching, and lifting packages weighing up to 70 pounds for 4 to 5 hours straight in a fast-paced, loud, industrial environment.

Quality Control: Identify leaking, crushed, or mislabeled packages and pull them off the line for the problem-solve team before they are loaded onto the delivery truck.

The Part-Time Union Advantage

The UPS Preload position is legendary for its benefits. Even as a part-time employee, after a brief waiting period, you receive the same zero-premium, top-tier medical, dental, and vision insurance as full-time drivers. You are protected by the Teamsters union, receive regular wage increases, and get access to the "Earn and Learn" program, which provides massive tuition assistance for college students. Most importantly, Preload is the primary waiting list to become a highly-paid UPS Delivery Driver.

Requirements

Must be at least 18 years old. No driving license is required for this warehouse role. You must possess extreme physical stamina and athletic endurance to handle continuous heavy lifting up to 70 lbs. You must have the discipline to wake up and work extremely early morning hours (e.g., 3:00 AM starts). A reliable work ethic and ability to pass a background check are mandatory.
