Logistics jobs in Newcastle, paid the day after you work.
Freight handler, depot hand, delivery driver and yard shifts across Newcastle and the Hunter go up on MyGig as local operators post them. You pick the shifts that fit your week, every listing shows the full pay with super before you accept, and the money lands the day after the shift at no cost to you. Newcastle is one of our newest areas, so we will tell you straight: volume is building around Beresfield, Thornton and the port rather than everywhere at once, and early joiners tend to see the first shifts as it grows.
You are a MyGig employee on every shift: award rates plus casual loading under the applicable Modern Award, with the clause cited, 12% superannuation paid with your pay, workers compensation cover, and payslips in the app. Driving shifts are matched to your licence class. Joining is free and takes about 30 minutes: an ID check, your work history, references and a short skills quiz.

MyGig operates across NSW, and Newcastle and the Hunter are one of our newest areas. The transport-side pool here is building rather than Sydney-deep, strongest around the Beresfield and Thornton depots and the port, so joining now puts you near the front of the queue as local operators sign on.
Good questions, straight answers.
What logistics shifts are available in Newcastle?
Freight handling and depot work around Beresfield, Thornton and the port, and delivery driving across the Hunter's suburbs, as local operators post them. Newcastle is one of MyGig's newest areas, so the app shows real availability for your dates rather than a promise.
Do I need a truck licence?
Not for freight handling or depot shifts. Driving shifts state the licence class they need, and you are only matched to shifts your licence covers. Forklift shifts need a current LF or LO ticket, uploaded once in the app.
When do I get paid?
The day after every shift, at no cost to you. Pay is calculated against the correct award classification with casual loading, and 12% superannuation is paid with each pay run rather than quarterly.
I live in the Hunter but not in Newcastle. Can I still join?
Yes. Complete vetting once and accept shifts as they open across the Hunter, from Maitland to the coast. Early joiners in newer areas tend to get first pick as local demand grows.
