We are currently seeking motivated CDL A City Pick-Up and Delivery (P&D) Drivers for our San Diego, California Service Center. This is a full-time position offering varied shifts Monday through Friday, with starting pay at $33.96 per hour. One of the significant benefits of this role includes returning home every day, making it an excellent opportunity for drivers seeking a stable daily schedule while working in the vibrant city of San Diego.

The CDL A City P&D Driver will be responsible for performing multiple stops daily to pick up and deliver freight within the city and returning to the terminal by the end of each shift. The position involves the use of scanning equipment to document deliveries and pickups, direct interaction with customers, and handling freight via liftgate deliveries using an electric pallet jack. Success in this fast-paced role requires excellent attendance, strong teamwork skills, safety consciousness, and the ability to operate various equipment safely and efficiently. Drivers must be dependable, physically capable of bending, lifting, and stooping as required, and able to pass a DOT physical, drug screening, and a road test.

R+L Carriers also supports its drivers and team by providing an excellent benefits package, including paid time off after just 90 calendar days, medical, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plans with company matching, paid holidays, and access to exclusive employee resorts located in desirable locations such as Daytona Beach, FL, Big Bear Lake, CA, Pigeon Forge, TN, and Ocean Isle Beach, NC. This commitment to employee well-being and comprehensive benefits ensures that CDL A drivers are well-supported both in and outside of their work duties.
