As one of the world’s most recognized logistics companies — and a Fortune Global 500 organization — UPS offers more than just a job. This is a role with a genuine career path, union-backed wage progression, and a comprehensive benefits package that grows with you over time.
Based out of 575 Harwood Ave N in Ajax, this position puts you behind the wheel delivering and picking up packages across residential and commercial routes. If you’re someone who thrives in a physically active, fast-moving environment and takes pride in efficient, reliable service, this could be a great fit.
About the Role: Delivery Driver
As a UPS Delivery Driver, your day revolves around getting packages where they need to go — safely, efficiently, and on time. You’ll be driving a UPS vehicle on scheduled routes, lifting, loading, and unloading packages, and maintaining accurate records of every delivery. The work schedule runs Tuesday to Saturday, with shift starts at 9:30 AM on Tuesdays and 9:15 AM on Saturdays, and shifts running 8–10 hours per day.
This is a physically demanding role that requires the ability to lift up to 70 lbs unassisted and sustain that level of activity throughout a full shift. You’ll represent UPS directly in the community, so following the company’s appearance guidelines, wearing the provided uniform, and delivering strong customer service are all part of the package. UPS takes safe and defensive driving seriously — training is provided and compliance is expected.
Benefits and Salary
This position starts at $20.00 per hour, with a guaranteed wage progression through the Union Collective Agreement bringing you up to $42.33 per hour after 48 months of service. You’re paid weekly via direct deposit every Friday. Benefits kick in after one year and include extended health care, vision, dental, and life insurance, plus a pension plan and paid vacation that scales from 2 weeks at 1 year all the way to 6 weeks after 25 years. Additional perks include paid training, overtime opportunities, personal paid days off, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), an employee referral bonus, free onsite parking, and immediate access to UPS employee discounts. Note that monthly union dues of approximately $52/month and a one-time $50 union initiation fee (deducted after 90 working days) apply.
