Newspaper Delivery Routes

If you're an early riser and looking for part-time work, delivering newspapers can be a good option. These are typically contract roles and are more likely to provide supplemental income rather than a full-time salary. 

One nice perk of being a newspaper delivery driver: you usually don't work on holidays. However, this local driving job is far from "easy." In addition to the early hours-we're talking sometimes as early as 1:00 AM-you'll be expected to get subscribers their newspaper no matter the weather conditions. That's why it's paramount that your vehicle be winter-ready to handle sleet, snow, and whatever else St. Louis' weather throws its way.

Airport Parking Shuttle Driver Positions

Ever parked at an airport lot and taken a shuttle to the terminal? Those shuttles need drivers. You can often find positions as a shuttle driver for airport parking lots around St. Louis. These jobs typically pay around $13-$15 per hour.

A heads-up: sometimes these roles might require you to meet certain physical standards, like being able to help passengers with their luggage. So, if you're up for a little bit of lifting, this could be a good fit.

HopSkipDrive

HopSkipDrive is a specialized transportation service that provides rides for children, partnering with families, schools, and organizations.

Because this local driving job involves interactions with children, you are expected to have five years of caregiving experience (with at least two years specifically caring for children) and must undergo multiple background checks. Your vehicle must also meet strict performance and safety standards, including having four doors and being no more than 13 years old. A good driving record is a must.
