This role pays a premium for your strength and coordination.

Because this role requires specialized physical effort and larger vehicle operation, it offers a significantly higher starting wage than standard parcel delivery. You will also receive comprehensive safety training, high-quality protective gear, and robust medical benefits.

Must be at least 21 years old. A valid standard driver's license is required (CDL is a plus but not mandatory). You must possess exceptional, verifiable physical strength and endurance.
