650+ Transportation & Delivery Jobs in New York, NY

Official metro wage data for the broad transportation and material moving family shows a 2025 median of $46,730, with the 25th percentile at $38,120, the 75th percentile at $62,900, and the 90th percentile at $84,700. A truck-driver-specific metro data point is a bit higher: heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers showed a 2024 median of $52,430 and a 75th percentile of $74,120. By contrast, recent posted salaries in the local job database center on about $75k to $95k for salaried listings and about $22 to $24 / hour for hourly ones, which likely reflects a mix tilted toward supervisory, specialized, or better-documented postings rather than the full market.

What our analysts see this month

Balanced market | next 3-6 months

This is a real market, not a dead one: metro unemployment was 4.7% in August 2026, metro employment was up 0.8985% year over year, and more than 1,000 Transportation & Delivery postings across more than 400 companies were observed over the last 90 days. But the category is softer than the overall metro economy: trade, transportation, and utilities employment was down 0.3730% year over year in August, while Revelio Public Labor Statistics shows New York transportation & delivery employment down 0.6% and active postings down 6.8% year over year in September. That makes this a workable but selective market: strong for candidates with clear licenses, safety credibility, and schedule flexibility, weaker for generic applicants expecting quick remote or gig-only income.

Best positioned: Candidates with a clean driving record plus CDL Class A/B, ELD familiarity, forklift exposure, and visible route-and-safety experience have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not assume headline posted salary bands apply to every job; official metro wage data is much lower in the middle of the market, and app-based courier pay is under heavier legal scrutiny after NYC's DoorDash settlement.

Where the demand is

Real volume exists: more than 1,000 postings across more than 400 companies were observed over the last 90 days, but hiring is fragmented rather than dominated by a few firms. The most active industry slice in the sample is restaurants at about 45%, followed by transportation at about 20%, transportation, logistics, supply chain and storage at about 10%, logistics at about 10%, and food & beverage at about 5%. That tells you a large share of openings are last-mile, route, or store-linked delivery jobs, not just long-haul trucking. A second pocket of opportunity sits with big parcel, foodservice, and fleet-based employers. External employer signals specifically name Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and Sysco as active regional hirers, while Domino's Inc. appears as the most consistently active named employer in the local job sample with more than 250 postings. But this segment is also where local policy pressure is highest: NYC's DoorDash settlement and the proposed Delivery Protection Act both raise the bar on pay tracking, safety, and employment practices in app-based and subcontracted delivery.

• Restaurant and local last-mile delivery (high): This is the biggest visible pocket of demand, with restaurants making up about 45% of sampled postings and Domino's Inc. standing out as the most active named employer in the local sample.
• Parcel, fleet, and route-based employers (moderate): Regional employer signals point to Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and Sysco, and these roles fit candidates with CDL, route planning, ELD, forklift, and strong safety habits.
• App-based courier and subcontracted delivery (limited): The work still exists, but recent enforcement and pending city legislation make pay practices, employment status, and operating rules less predictable than in structured fleet roles.

Where to focus: If you want the fastest path to interviews, target structured on-site employers with repeat routes and clear screening criteria—parcel, foodservice, restaurant chains, and fleet operators—before betting on app-based courier work.

Roles worth searching next

• Logistics coordinator: Route discipline, timing, customer communication, and ELD familiarity transfer well into this path.
• Transportation coordinator or route planner: This uses the same navigation, route planning, and service mindset already showing up in local demand.
• Fleet safety coordinator: Safety compliance and vehicle inspection are already core asks in this market, so experienced drivers have a natural story here.
• Last-mile operations coordinator: Customer service, timing pressure, and route execution all transfer, especially from dense urban delivery backgrounds.

What postings ask for

• Valid driver's license (table_stakes | immediate): It is the most commonly named credential in local postings, even though many ads omit formal credential language. Who: Everyone entering the category.
• CDL Class A/B (differentiator | near-term): Regional employer guidance explicitly flags CDL Class A/B as in demand, and better-paid truck-route roles sit above the broad category median. Who: Mid-career drivers and switchers who want access to better route and truck roles.
• Safety compliance and vehicle inspection (table_stakes | immediate): Local postings frequently ask for safety compliance and vehicle inspection, and city pressure around delivery-worker protections is increasing scrutiny on how work is done. Who: All drivers, couriers, and route operators.
• Navigation and route planning (differentiator | immediate): Navigation shows up repeatedly in local postings, and route planning is highlighted in regional employer guidance, which matters in dense urban routing. Who: Entry-level applicants trying to prove they can handle urban routes efficiently.
• ELD systems and logistics tech (differentiator | near-term): ELD is called out in regional demand signals and is one of the clearest tech skills separating professional route work from generic driving. Who: Drivers moving into CDL, longer-route, or compliance-heavy employers.
• Forklift operation (differentiator | near-term): Forklift shows up in regional demand signals and broadens you into material-moving openings that sit inside this category. Who: Applicants open to mixed driver-plus-handling roles.

Questions about this market

What do Transportation & Delivery roles pay in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ?

Official metro wage data for the broad transportation and material moving family shows a 2025 median of $46,730, with the 25th percentile at $38,120, the 75th percentile at $62,900, and the 90th percentile at $84,700. A truck-driver-specific metro data point is a bit higher: heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers showed a 2024 median of $52,430 and a 75th percentile of $74,120. By contrast, recent posted salaries in the local job database center on about $75k to $95k for salaried listings and about $22 to $24 / hour for hourly ones, which likely reflects a mix tilted toward supervisory, specialized, or better-documented postings rather than the full market. This is not a low-pay category, but the middle of the market is still below the pay level of the average job in this metro: all-occupation mean hourly pay was $41.50 in May 2025, about 23.7% above the national mean. In a region where home prices were up 5.6% year over year by July 2026, a median transportation wage does not automatically translate into easy affordability.
