Working at UPS: roles, pay and how to apply

Main UPS roles

Package handler / warehouse worker — loading and sorting packages; usually part-time on the preload (early morning) or reload (evening) shift, roughly 17–25 hours a week.
Package delivery driver — the iconic brown-truck role, full-time and union after qualifying.
Seasonal package handlers and driver helpers — temporary roles during the peak holiday season, a common way in the door.
Management, IT, mechanics, and corporate — salaried and specialized positions.

UPS pay highlights

UPS pay is strong for the industry and is set largely by the Teamsters contract for union roles (it varies by location, role and seniority):

Package handlers commonly start around $21/hour.
Delivery drivers start near $23/hour and progress to a top rate above $40/hour after about four years under the 2023 Teamsters agreement.
Seasonal rates vary by market and time of year.

Many part-time employees also get benefits, a 401(k) and pension, and Earn & Learn tuition help — and UPS frequently promotes from within, so a part-time start can lead to a full-time career.

Does UPS use temporary or contingent staff?
