Job Description

Red Stag LLC is a prominent company specializing in bulk dairy transportation and logistics across the United States. Established in 2014, Red Stag has swiftly expanded from a modest three-truck operation into a nationwide leader, operating a modern fleet of over 160 trucks. The company is committed to providing exceptional service to dairy farms by maintaining high standards of reliability, safety, and quality. Red Stag prides itself on being more than just a milk-hauling company; it positions itself as a trusted partner for dairy producers, rooted in community values and dedicated service excellence. The company fosters a supportive work environment that values professionalism and the contributions of its team members, emphasizing strong communication and consistent adherence to safety protocols in all operations.

The role of a Class A CDL Farm Route Driver at Red Stag LLC is critical in maintaining the seamless transportation of milk products from local dairy farms to designated drop yards. This position requires drivers to safely and efficiently load milk using appropriate equipment and techniques, ensuring that all transport activities meet stringent safety and food-handling standards. Drivers are expected to comply fully with federal and state transportation as well as dairy regulations, guaranteeing that milk quality and safety are preserved throughout the supply chain.

Drivers will perform routine inspections and maintenance of their trucks and equipment as part of their daily responsibilities to avoid any operational issues that might affect delivery schedules. Accurate record-keeping of deliveries and loads is essential, alongside maintaining clear communication with dispatch for updates on routes, any possible delays, mechanical concerns, or other operational matters.

Candidates for this role must hold a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License with a tanker endorsement and possess at least two years of verifiable driving experience, including a minimum of one year handling liquid tanker operations. The job requires physical activities such as loading, unloading, and climbing ladders to inspect trailer seals, making physical fitness and the ability to handle some physical strain important. Flexibility in working hours, including weekends and holidays, is also expected to meet the company’s service demands.

Red Stag LLC offers competitive benefits to its drivers, including medical, dental, vision, and ancillary coverage such as accident, short-term disability, life, and hospital insurance options. The company also provides paid time off, holiday pay, and unique perks like a rider policy permitting qualified passengers and a pet-friendly policy allowing drivers to bring their pets on the truck. These benefits underline Red Stag’s commitment to employee well-being and job satisfaction, fostering a positive work culture.

Overall, the Farm Route Driver position at Red Stag LLC not only demands highly skilled and safety-conscious individuals but also offers a rewarding career path within a growing and respected logistics company. The role blends the responsibilities of transportation, safety compliance, customer service, and teamwork in a dynamic and supportive work environment, making it an excellent opportunity for experienced commercial drivers dedicated to making an impact in the essential dairy supply chain industry.
