  • Longer setup/breakdown times included

  • More dynamic environment

  • Typical salary: $15-$20+/hour + tips

Should I include benefits information in the job description?

Yes! Our top-performing JDs include benefits information because it:

  • Sets expectations (reducing poor-fit applications)

  • Highlights competitive advantages over competitors

  • Explains total compensation beyond hourly wage

  • Shows investment in employee satisfaction

  • Increases application quality and conversion rates

Include: Health insurance eligibility, employee discounts, mileage reimbursement, paid time off, advancement opportunities, and flexible scheduling.

What's the best way to describe the actual work in a delivery driver JD?

Our best examples use multiple approaches:

  • "A Day in the Life" - Chronological breakdown of typical shift

  • Key Responsibilities - Bullet-point format of main duties

  • Responsibilities section - Narrative description of the role

  • About the Role - Opening paragraph setting tone and expectations

Combining multiple formats helps different candidates understand the role. Show: the driving portion, customer interaction, paperwork, break times, and any additional duties (food prep, event setup, etc.).

How long should a delivery driver job description be?

Based on our examples:

  • Minimum: 150-200 words (too short seems unserious)

Our best-performing JDs average 350-400 words total across all sections (summary, requirements, company info combined).

  • Salary ranges too wide ($10-$30/hour without explanation)

  • No information about company culture or why someone should apply

  • Overly formal tone that discourages applications

  • Missing key information (schedule, location, benefits)

  • Requirements as checklist only without role context

  • No call-to-action or application instructions

Should I use the same JD for multiple locations?

Yes, with modifications:

  • Use a template with location as a variable

  • Adjust salary ranges based on local market

  • Customize warehouse/start location info

  • Keep core job responsibilities identical

  • This ensures consistency while reflecting local market realities

How often should I update my delivery driver JDs?

Review quarterly and update:

  • Salary to match current market rates

  • Requirements based on recent hires' actual qualifications

  • Responsibilities if role focus has shifted

  • Benefits information if company policies changed

  • Testimonials or company culture information for freshness
