"I have been driving for UPS for eleven years and I tell everyone who will listen — there is no better driving job in this country. My top-rate pay is higher than most office professionals in my area, my pension is growing every quarter, and my family's health insurance is the best coverage any of them have ever had. I get home for dinner most nights, I own my route, and I genuinely feel like I built something here. If you are looking for a real UPS driver job, not a gig, apply and do not look back." - Current Package Car Driver, Portland, OR.

• Pickup Service: Collect outbound packages from commercial accounts and UPS drop boxes along your route during the afternoon, scanning every item into the system and returning to the package center for end-of-day sort processing.
