About The Position

GoBolt is hiring parcel and grocery delivery drivers in The Bronx to provide positive, professional, and courteous customer service. Drivers use their own eligible personal vehicle to deliver packages on assigned routes that begin at the Bronx delivery station. Delivery blocks are 8 to 12 hours and are available seven days a week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Pay is $22.00 per hour, with mileage reimbursement for business use of the personal vehicle at the IRS standard mileage rate under GoBolt’s accountable reimbursement plan. Drivers may enroll in the health and dental benefit program for themselves and their family after 30 days of employment.

The role requires safely loading and delivering packages, using the company driver app for navigation, scanning, and proof of delivery, and following customer instructions.
