About UPS & Our Culture

If you hold a CDL Class A and you are searching for UPS CDL driver jobs that pay top-of-market wages, keep you closer to home than over-the-road trucking, and come backed by the full weight of Teamsters union representation, the UPS Feeder Driver career is the destination role you have been working toward.

What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"I spent eight years doing over-the-road trucking before I got my UPS Feeder position and the difference is staggering. My pay under the Teamsters contract is higher than anything OTR paid me, I am home most nights, my benefits are incomparable to anything I had before, and the equipment is maintained to a standard I have never seen at a private carrier. If you have a CDL and you are looking for UPS CDL driver jobs, this is the job every trucker wants and very few know how to get." - Current Feeder Driver, Louisville, KY.

Role Overview & Responsibilities

As a UPS Feeder Driver, you operate Class A tractor-trailers on regional line-haul and shuttle runs between UPS network facilities, executing hard departure schedules with the safety discipline and hours-of-service compliance that define the professional standard in commercial trucking.

• Line-Haul & Shuttle Operations: Drive assigned tractor-trailer combinations — singles, doubles, or triples depending on route — between UPS hubs, package centers, air gateways, and rail intermodal yards on departure schedules that cannot slip without impacting the downstream delivery network.
• DOT Pre-Trip & Post-Trip Inspections: Complete thorough, documented DOT pre-trip and post-trip mechanical inspections of all tractor and trailer units before every departure, removing any equipment with safety deficiencies from service immediately and reporting findings through UPS's maintenance system.
• ELD Compliance & HOS Management: Maintain strict adherence to DOT hours-of-service regulations using UPS's electronic logging device system, planning your driving windows to arrive on schedule without violating federal drive-time limits.

Benefits & Perks

UPS Feeder Drivers earn top-of-market wages under the Teamsters national master agreement — the highest hourly rate in the UPS hourly workforce. Full family medical, dental, and vision insurance, a defined-benefit Teamsters pension, paid vacation, paid holidays, and a 401(k) with company match are included. Regional routes mean significantly more home time than over-the-road trucking. Class A CDL with doubles/triples endorsement required.
