Job Description
Join Routewise Logistics as a Package Delivery Driver in Philadelphia, PA, delivering packages efficiently and ensuring customer satisfaction. This role offers a dynamic opportunity to be part of a growing logistics team, with reliable routes and modern vehicles provided.
Full Description
At Routewise Logistics, our Package Delivery Drivers are the backbone of our operations, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of packages across Philadelphia and surrounding areas. This role is crucial for maintaining our reputation for exceptional service, directly impacting customer satisfaction and our company's growth in the competitive logistics industry. Drivers play a pivotal role in connecting businesses and individuals with their goods, contributing to the seamless flow of commerce in a bustling urban environment.
Package Delivery Drivers at Routewise Logistics handle a dynamic set of daily responsibilities that keep our delivery network running smoothly. Each day begins with picking up pre-loaded packages from our Philadelphia distribution center, where you'll review manifests, verify package conditions, and load your vehicle using provided equipment for optimal organization. You'll navigate urban and suburban routes using GPS systems and route optimization software, making 100-150 stops per shift while adhering to all traffic laws and safety protocols. Customer interaction is key; you'll obtain signatures, resolve delivery issues on-site, and provide updates via our mobile app to ensure transparency. Weekly tasks include vehicle inspections, reporting mileage and fuel usage, and participating in team huddles to discuss route efficiencies. Monthly, drivers contribute to performance reviews by tracking key metrics like on-time delivery rates (targeting 98%+), customer feedback scores, and package handling accuracy. Collaboration occurs with dispatchers for real-time adjustments, warehouse teams for load coordination, and customer service for issue resolution. In peak seasons, you may assist in training new drivers, fostering a supportive team environment without formal management duties.
To succeed as a Package Delivery Driver with Routewise Logistics, candidates must possess a valid Pennsylvania driver's license with a clean driving record (no more than 2 points in the last 3 years) and at least one year of professional driving experience, preferably in delivery or logistics. A high school diploma or equivalent is required, along with the physical ability to lift up to 70 pounds repeatedly and stand for extended periods. Familiarity with delivery software like Route4Me or similar GPS tools is essential, as is basic knowledge of Philadelphia roadways and traffic patterns. While not mandatory, a commercial driver's license (CDL) Class B is a plus for larger vehicles, and completion of defensive driving courses will set you apart. No formal degree is needed, but proven reliability in fast-paced environments is critical.
Routewise Logistics drivers excel with a blend of technical and soft skills tailored to high-volume delivery operations. Proficiency in using smartphones for scanning apps, GPS navigation, and electronic proof-of-delivery systems is vital, alongside mechanical aptitude for basic vehicle maintenance checks. Strong time management and organizational skills ensure routes are completed efficiently, while excellent communication—both verbal for customer interactions and written for logging discrepancies—builds trust. Physical stamina, attention to detail to prevent errors, and a safety-first mindset are non-negotiable. Adaptability to varying weather conditions and peak-hour traffic, combined with problem-solving under pressure, defines top performers in this role.
Routewise Logistics is a forward-thinking company specializing in last-mile delivery solutions across the Northeast, with a mission to revolutionize logistics through technology and people. Founded in Philadelphia, we pride ourselves on a family-like culture that values work-life balance, innovation, and employee growth. Our team of 200+ includes drivers, dispatchers, and tech specialists working in a collaborative environment with modern facilities and fleet vehicles equipped with safety features. What sets us apart is our commitment to sustainability, using electric and hybrid vans, and community involvement through local partnerships.
We offer competitive compensation for Package Delivery Drivers, though specific salary details are not specified at this time and will be discussed during interviews based on experience. Comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, and paid time off starting at 15 days annually. Additional perks encompass performance bonuses tied to delivery metrics, fuel reimbursement, paid training, and flexible scheduling options during off-peak times. Employees enjoy uniforms, protective gear, and access to an employee assistance program for wellness support.
abound at Routewise Logistics, with clear paths to senior driver roles, dispatch positions, or fleet management within 1-2 years based on performance. We invest in professional development through ongoing training, certifications like forklift operation, and tuition reimbursement for logistics programs.
