It is detailed, deadline-driven office work, and it rewards people who understand how freight actually moves.

• Mostly Monday to Friday; airport-area forwarders also run afternoon and weekend rotations
• On site
• Overtime paid at time and a half after 44 hours in a week

• WSIB coverage from your first shift, with tax and other deductions handled on every pay
• A safety orientation before you start, and WHMIS training arranged if you need it
• A recruiter you can phone seven days a week
• Never a fee. Employers pay for our service, not you

Where the work is in Mississauga

• Pearson cargo area (Malton, Derry Road and Airport Road): air-freight terminals, freight forwarders, courier hubs and trucking yards. Many sites ask for a criminal record check for airside access.

MiWay's 7 Airport, 42 Derry and 57 Courtneypark serve the Pearson-area terminals, the 43 Matheson–Argentia crosses Heartland and Meadowvale, and the 107 Malton Express runs from Islington subway station. The Milton GO line, and Malton GO on the Kitchener line, connect from Toronto and Brampton. Overnight service is reasonable near the airport and thin in Meadowvale and Clarkson. Parking is free.

These roles also suit people living in Malton, Meadowvale, Streetsville, Etobicoke and Brampton.
