How to write a UPS cover letter

When applying for a UPS position, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position with you further.”

Mr. Emmet Ross

Hiring Manager

UPS

6321 E 667th S

Sandy, UT 93217

Dear Mr. Ross:

As a highly dexterous package handler, I have strong motivation to contribute to UPS. My communications, package handling, and interpersonal skills make me a great candidate.

During the 5 years that I worked as a package handler at Sandy Mailroom, I have come across many situations that challenged my ability to handle adverse situations. One such instance was when I was handling a package termed “fragile” which “smelt” oddly suspicious, and which due to my sixth sense kicking in, did not pass through the company, resulting in saving its image. Since then, I have learned that package handling may seem like a straightforward job but requires much in terms of analytic skills and observance.

Not only have I handled regular package handling duties during the 6 years that I have worked in this capacity, but I have also performed quality assurance work to ensure that packages are not missorted due to incomplete information. This diligence has earned me the title of “Go-Getter Gregory” at my present place of work, a designation I am proud of!

I possess strong skills in assembling and preparing cartons and containers to prepare items for shipment. Also, I have a great ability to ensure that proper care is provided to mail and packages before they are delivered.

Excited by the prospect of working at UPS in a package handler capacity, I would welcome the chance to speak with you in person or on phone to provide further information on my skills and experience, as they relate to the job.

Thank you for your time and consideration. My resume is attached for your perusal.

Sincere regards,

Gregory Tanner

“Dear [name],

I am writing to express my interest in the UPS Package Handler position that you have posted. I believe that I would be a great fit for this position due to my experience as a package handler, my ability to work independently and my strong customer service skills.

I have been working as a package handler for the past two years at FedEx Ground. I have gained valuable experience in the field of shipping and receiving. I have learned how to properly load trucks, unload trucks, organize packages and handle all types of freight. I have also learned how to work with a team and how to communicate effectively with other employees.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to work independently. I am able to complete tasks without constant supervision. This skill has allowed me to work well with others on teams and it has also allowed me to complete tasks quickly and efficiently. Another strength of mine is my strong customer service skills. I am able to provide excellent customer service by being friendly, helpful and professional.

I would love the opportunity to meet with you in person so we can discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Thank you for your time and consideration.”

Application for UPS Driver

Dear Hiring Manager,

I would like to apply for the full-time Driver opportunity advertised on your website.

I am currently a part-time FedEx City Driver, which entails picking up and delivering freight between Service Centers and customers. Mirroring your requirements, I perform daily pre-trip and safety inspections, handle and secure freight with a forklift, pallet jack and hand truck, communicate with customers to agree pick-up/delivery times, and collect cash/checks for freight charges.  

As well as my 6 years of driving experience with FedEx, I have a clean driving record, a valid class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with double/triple, hazardous materials, and tank endorsements, and have successfully passed random physical and drug tests.

As FedEx has no full-time positions available in my area, I was excited to learn about your opening.

Yours sincerely,
