The role typically involves driving a vehicle, following assigned routes, and ensuring timely and safe delivery of items to customers.

Some positions may also require lifting and handling of packages or products.

These abilities ensure prompt, safe deliveries and a positive customer experience, which are critical for success in this role.

MJ Delivery Corporation is hiring reliable delivery drivers for established delivery routes throughout San Diego County and surrounding areas.

This is a fast-paced delivery position for drivers who are dependable, communicate well, and can complete an assigned route independently.

Schedule: Monday–Saturday
Pay: Weekly
Compensation: Based on assigned route/volume
Route volume: Approximately 350–650 stops per week depending on the route
Work type: Residential and commercial package delivery

Training / Trial Period

Every new driver starts the first couple of days using their own vehicle as a trial period.

This allows both the driver and MJ Delivery to make sure the position is a good fit before assigning a company van.

During the trial period:

  • Driver must have a reliable personal vehicle to start off with
  • Valid driver's license and current insurance are required
  • Driver will be assigned a shorter/training route
  • Driver will learn the scanner/app, delivery procedures and route expectations
  • Performance, reliability and ability to complete the route will be evaluated
  • After successfully completing the trial period, eligible drivers will transition into a company delivery van

Driver Responsibilities

Drivers are responsible for completing their assigned route each day, including:

  • Loading and organizing packages
  • Following the assigned delivery route
  • Scanning and properly delivering all packages
  • Completing residential and commercial deliveries within required timeframes
  • Following all delivery/photo/scan procedures
  • Communicating immediately with dispatch regarding route or delivery issues
  • Maintaining a professional appearance and providing good customer service
  • Keeping assigned company vehicles clean inside and outside
  • Returning undeliverable packages and completing end-of-day procedures
  • Being reliable and showing up consistently for scheduled routes

Requirements

  • Valid driver's license
  • Acceptable driving record
  • Must pass background check and MVR
  • Reliable personal vehicle for the initial trial period
  • Current auto insurance
  • Smartphone
  • Reliable transportation to the dispatch location
  • Able to lift and carry packages
  • Comfortable driving and delivering for several hours
  • Must be dependable and able to work independently
  • Delivery experience is preferred but not required

We are looking for drivers who want consistent routes, not temporary or occasional work. Reliability is extremely important because once a route is assigned, we depend on that driver to service it consistently.

To apply:
Send your full name, phone number, city you live in, type of vehicle you currently drive, delivery experience (if any), and your availability Monday–Saturday.
