What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"I came in as a seasonal driver fully expecting to go back to my old job in January. UPS offered me a permanent spot before Christmas arrived. The pay during peak with overtime was genuinely incredible — some weeks I took home more than I made in a full month at my previous job. The training was thorough, the supervisors were supportive, and driving a UPS truck around my own neighborhood for the holidays was honestly one of the best experiences I have had working. Do not sleep on UPS seasonal driver jobs." - Former Seasonal Driver, Now Full-Time Package Car Driver, Atlanta, GA.

• Holiday Customer Experience: Deliver packages to excited holiday recipients with the professionalism and care that the UPS brand demands — every package is a gift to a real family, and seasonal drivers represent UPS at the most emotionally meaningful delivery moments of the year.
• Overtime Capture: Accept available overtime hours during Black Friday, Cyber Week, and pre-Christmas peak days to maximize your seasonal earning potential above the standard daily stop count.
