UPS offers more than a job
UPS provides union jobs and careers with industry-leading wages and benefits, including low- or no-cost healthcare coverage, a pension and tuition assistance. While many of our competitors use gig or contract labor, our Teamsters-represented employees receive the best total compensation packages in the industry.
Industry-leading wages and benefits
The Teamsters ratified the new National Master Agreement on August 22, 2023. The wages listed below represent the previous contract. Our Teamsters-represented employees will continue to receive best-in-industry wages and benefits under the new agreement.
Full-time delivery drivers
Full-time delivery drivers earn an average total compensation package of $145,000 per year, which includes $0 healthcare premiums, up to seven weeks of paid vacation, plus an average of 18 days off for holidays, sick leave and option days. UPS also contributes to a defined-benefit pension plan for each employee.
Local tractor-trailer drivers
Local tractor-trailer drivers, also known as feeder drivers, average $162,000 per year in total compensation, which includes $0 healthcare premiums, up to seven weeks of paid vacation, plus an average of 18 days off for holidays, sick leave and option days. UPS also contributes to a defined-benefit pension plan for each employee.
Long-haul team drivers
Long-haul team drivers average $172,000 per year in total compensation. UPS pays top rate per mile after four years, nearly double the trucking industry average. This pay is in addition to the same industry-leading healthcare, paid time off, vacation, holidays, sick leave and pension contributions as our full-time delivery drivers.
Part-time union employees
Part-time union employees average $20 an hour after 30 days with consistent hours and the same great benefits we offer our full-time employees, including $0 healthcare premiums. Part-time employees also receive paid vacations and holidays, tuition benefits and contributions to a defined-benefit pension plan.
