Employment Type : Full-Time
What's the Schedule? This is a 52-week per year responsibility. The papers are published 6 days per week (Sunday to Friday) all year round, including holidays. It will be your responsibility to ensure that those papers get delivered every single day as well. You can do this any way you like: deliver them yourself, work with a partner, even subcontract to another driver. But you are responsible to make sure every paper arrives at the right location and on time. There is no delivery on Saturdays. What's a Typical Night Like? When you arrive, you will pick up your night’s share of newspapers. You will also pick up plastic bags for the papers. Bagging the papers is required. You can do the bagging at the warehouse, or take them with you and bag them as you drive your route. Your next step is to start your route. You will drive the same route every night. You will have a Route Book, which contains each stop on the route that gets papers, any special instructions for that stop, and driving directions to the next stop. It’s a step-by-step guide that lays out your entire route. The route book is a guide, but you can deliver the papers in any order you want. As you work the same route each day, you’re sure to find shortcuts and tricks to speed up the time. You must be finished with your deliveries by 6:30 AM every day. When your delivery is finished, you’re done. You may go home or anywhere else you want. How Long Will It Take? The typical load is about 300 papers during the week, and 375 on Sunday. So the job will require 18 – 24 hours per week. Even though it is 6 days, it is still a part time job. What Does It Pay? Can I Earn More?

Why Should I Have a Backup?
52 weeks per year is a tough schedule, and our staff is stretched very thin. If you do not come in one day, it is very difficult for us to cover for you. A backup will make things easier for everyone, including you.
You're going to be an independent 1099 contractor, not an employee of The Star.
