As a local UDS Driver, you will be responsible for delivering products to small retailers on established routes. Unlike many driving roles, this position emphasizes customer interaction, manual unloading, and product stocking.

Ideal candidates are self-motivated, customer service-oriented, and capable of working in a fast-paced environment.

The company pays a competitive hourly wage of $26.90, with additional benefits subject to eligibility and collective bargaining agreements. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, disability coverage, paid time off including vacation and sick leave, a 401k plan with company matching, tuition reimbursement, and mileage reimbursement.
