Would You Take This Job? Package Delivery Driver

Package Delivery Driver

Employer: UPS
Location: 454 Harvest Ln, Williston, VT 05495
Pay: $23.00 per hour (base pay listed)
Type: Full-time (Casual/seasonal package delivery role; temporary in posting)

What You’ll Do

  • Deliver packages to homes and businesses using company vehicles; load/unload packages each shift.

  • Provide friendly customer service at doorsteps and follow delivery procedures.

  • Lift and handle packages (able to lift up to ~70 lbs) and follow UPS safety and uniform guidelines.

  • Complete route paperwork and communicate with dispatch as needed.

  • Work schedules typically 8–10 hours/day; shifts may vary (Mon–Fri or Tue–Sat) and include potential overtime.

Why It Stands Out

  • Immediate, steady seasonal work with strong weekly pay and extensive training provided.

  • Clear pathway: seasonal/casual roles frequently convert to permanent driver roles with full benefits and higher total compensation.

  • Work outdoors, stay active, and be part of a recognizable national logistics team.

Potential Trade-offs

  • Physically demanding: frequent lifting, being on your feet, and working in all weather conditions.

  • Variable schedules and potential overtime; seasonal role may not guarantee long-term employment unless converted.

  • DOT physical and ability to meet driving/attendance standards required.

Qualifications / Requirements

  • Valid driver’s license (no CDL required in most states but license type varies).

  • Must pass DOT physical and drug/alcohol screening.

  • Ability to lift up to 70 lbs regularly and handle physically active, outdoor work.

  • Legal right to work in the U.S.; compliance with UPS appearance/uniform guidelines.

Perks / Benefits

  • Excellent weekly pay for casual drivers, extensive on-the-job training, and potential career growth into permanent driver roles (permanent drivers at UPS receive comprehensive benefits and pension contributions).

Did UPS in Williston; $23/hr is fair, but β€˜seasonal’ means no benefits β€” invest in winter boots, @OP.

If you take it, stash a few dog treats and a spare phone battery β€” VT cold drains the scanner fast, and friendly pups speed up the doorstep dance. Co-sign @olivia3533 on the headlamp; also learn UPS’s β€œno backing unless necessary” rule so you’re not wrestling icy driveways. Good cash short-term, but if you hate loading, ask about PVD as an alternative.

Agree with @grace6623 on β€˜icy driveways’ β€” pocket-size ice cleats you can clip on for steep walks saved me more time than any gadget. If the loading part sounds miserable, ask about PVD instead.
