Your day-to-day assignment will vary based on business needs such as package volume, staffing needs, and seasonal demand.

• Meet all UPS driver qualification standards and requirements

• While this position itself is classified as part-time, additional hours will be available through the cover driving position. A warehouse worker/cover driver is a great place to start at UPS, and it might even lead to a permanent, full-time delivery driver role, where they receive an average total compensation package of $145,000 per year.
