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.
