The company seeks to employ CDL-A Drivers who play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the food supply chain. This is a full-time role with a schedule from Sunday to Thursday, working the late-night shift from 10 pm to 4 am. With a competitive salary range from $85,000 to $110,000 annually, the position offers not just financial rewards but extensive benefits from the first day of employment such as health and wellness coverage, an employee stock purchase plan, 401K with employer matching, education assistance, and paid time off.

The CDL-A Driver’s responsibility primarily revolves around the safe, timely, and efficient transportation of food and related products to local, inter-state, and over-the-road destinations. These drivers do more than just deliver; they embody the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction and operational excellence. The role entails driving a tractor trailer or straight truck to various customers, executing shuttle and drive-and-drop routes, while strictly adhering to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations to ensure safety and compliance.

Key aspects of the job include performing pre-trip and post-trip safety inspections of the vehicle to uphold stringent safety standards, managing the loading and unloading of freight with attention to detail and damage prevention, and completing all required delivery documentation accurately. Drivers are also tasked with engaging professionally with customers and associates, acting as vital representatives of the company on the front lines. Handling transactions when necessary and ensuring that all driver logs and hours of service are fully compliant with federal and state laws highlight the thoroughness the company demands.

This position suits those who are not only skilled in commercial driving but also have a strong work ethic and a customer-focused mindset.
