Working in Mississauga
AZ driver work in Mississauga
AZ work in Mississauga is anchored by the freight terminals, forwarders and courier hubs around Pearson, Derry Road, Dixie Road and Airport Road: city P&D for LTL and air-cargo carriers, airport-to-warehouse shuttles, cross-border linehaul out of the 401 and 407 terminals, and shunt work at the distribution centres in Heartland and along Dixie. Airport-area roles often require a clean criminal record check for airside access.
Most Mississauga AZ roles are local or regional and home daily, with cross-border linehaul available for drivers with a passport or FAST card. City and shunt AZ pay in Mississauga typically runs $26 to $34 an hour, with airport-area and night premiums; linehaul is usually per mile.

Getting there
Getting to work in Mississauga
MiWay covers Mississauga densely. The 7 Airport, 42 Derry and 57 Courtneypark serve the Pearson-area terminals, the 43 Matheson–Argentia crosses the Heartland and Meadowvale industrial lands, and the 107 Malton Express runs from Islington subway station. The Milton GO line (Dixie, Cooksville, Erindale, Streetsville, Meadowvale and Lisgar) and the Kitchener line at Malton GO connect from Toronto and Brampton.
Toronto workers reach Pearson-area sites in 40 to 60 minutes via Kipling station and the airport buses; Brampton and Malton residents are usually 20 minutes away. Overnight shifts near the airport have reasonable coverage because the airport itself runs 24 hours. Meadowvale and Clarkson after midnight do not.
By car, the 401, 403, 410 and 407 put most sites within 15 minutes of anywhere in Peel. Parking is free. The Dixie–401 interchange and Derry Road near the airport are the slow spots at shift change.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do you hire new AZ graduates?
Some of our clients do, particularly for shunt, yard and dedicated local work, provided you have completed MELT and have a clean abstract. Tell us your situation and we will be straightforward about which roles are realistic.
Will I drive under my own CVOR or the carrier's?
As a company or agency driver you drive under the carrier's CVOR and insurance. Owner-operators contract under their own authority; we occasionally recruit for owner-operator positions and will say so clearly in the posting.
How is pay structured?
City, shunt and dedicated local roles are usually hourly. Highway roles are usually per mile with accessorials for waiting, drops and border crossings. Temporary drivers placed through Assured are paid weekly by direct deposit.
