No. No previous delivery experience and no CDL are required. You need a valid driver's license, to be at least 21, and to be legally authorized to work in the U.S. We provide paid training.

Safety and reliability. Those are the two parts of this job you have to own, because nobody can be in the van driving it safely for you, and nobody can wake you up and make sure you're coming in. Safety is a non-negotiable across the board. Beyond those two, treat people the way you'd want to be treated, and we'll get along fine.

Yes. Every van has Netradyne cameras that monitor your driving throughout the day. If you get a safety event, your route gets paused and leadership calls you, explains what happened and what it means for the operation and for your own record with Amazon and NorthStar. When you're back at the station we watch the video together and have a documented conversation. Depending on how serious it is, you could be pulled off route for the day, suspended, or let go. You're allowed no more than 3 safety violations in a 90-day period; past that it's up to a 2-week suspension or termination.

First time, a verbal warning. Third time, a documented discussion and a week off the schedule. If the pattern keeps going, more documented discussions; 3 write-ups in a 90-day period is grounds for termination, depending on how bad it is and what it did to the day's operation.

Two paid 15-minute breaks during your 10-hour day (they can't be stacked together) and one 30-minute unpaid lunch that you must clock out for. You can go up to 15 minutes off route for lunch, but clock out before you start driving there. Bringing your own lunch and eating in the van is fine as long as you clean up after yourself.

If dispatch asks you to rescue a teammate, that's a requirement, unless you told us before your route that you couldn't and leadership okayed it. We keep it fair, and realistically you shouldn't be doing more than one or two a week. We're not sending rescues to steal hours or make anyone's day harder. But if we don't deliver our packages at a 99.8% clip, we fail as a team and a company. And if you're the one who's behind, dispatch will reach out, figure out what's slowing you down, and get you help. You'll never be rushed; safety comes first.

Yes, 90 days. During that time you can be let go for any reason if it's clear you're not a good fit for this team. That said, there will always be coaching and documented conversations before it gets to that point. Nobody's going to be blindsided.

Ideally at least a week. If something comes up, dispatch needs to hear from you at least 24 hours ahead. Communication is everything.

You work for NorthStar Parcel LLC. We're a third-party Delivery Service Partner affiliated with Amazon, responsible for the last mile of delivery out of station DLR8 in Escanaba. Amazon sets the routes and the standards; NorthStar hires, trains, schedules, and pays the team.

Delivery Drivers start at $21.50 per hour, with paid training. Overtime and additional shifts may be available based on business needs.

Shifts start between 10:00 and 11:15 AM at the station and run about 10 hours. Full-time drivers work a compressed schedule, which means 3-day weekends most weeks, and everyone works at least one weekend day. It's planned, not guaranteed, because delivery volume changes.

Shifts vary with volume. Routes are built to be completed within a 10-hour window. There's no set number of stops we can promise; new drivers start on smaller nursery routes and work up toward a full route (typically 20–25 stops per hour once you're past nursery level).

No. NorthStar provides the delivery vehicle, fuel, vehicle insurance while working, and the delivery device and equipment.

You receive an Amazon delivery uniform, plus a $150 Zappos voucher for work shoes. Pick something sturdy and slip-resistant; you'll be walking and climbing in and out of the van all day.

Not yet, but possibly later as NorthStar grows. Referrals from good drivers are still the best hires we make, so send people our way.

Paid time off, health insurance for eligible full-time employees, and a 401(k). You also get an Amazon delivery uniform, a $150 Zappos voucher for work shoes, and the van, fuel, and equipment. Eligibility and waiting periods for health coverage are covered in detail during hiring, before you accept an offer, so there are no surprises.

Yes. Both are standard Amazon DSP requirements and are completed before training.

A 2-day Amazon training class: Day 1 in the classroom with modules and a final test, Day 2 an on-the-road driving test. About 8 hours per day for those two training days; regular shifts are 10 hours. After that, an orientation day at NorthStar and ride-alongs with experienced trainers.

Escanaba sees real seasonal swings: rain, snow and cold, summer heat, wind, and early darkness in winter. You'll deliver in all of it. Add rural driveways and long drive times between some stops, and this is a job that asks you to stay aware of your surroundings in every season.

Yes. NorthStar promotes from within wherever possible. Trainer, Dispatcher, and Fleet Manager roles will be filled by strong, dependable people from our own team as we grow.

Your valid driver's license, your Amazon badge, your uniform on, proper shoes, and whatever you need to be comfortable out delivering all day: lunch, water, layers.
