Job Description

Full Scale Logistics is a leading transportation company specializing in nationwide refrigerated and temperature-controlled freight hauling. The company operates a modern fleet of refrigerated trailers across the United States, providing reliable and efficient logistics solutions to ensure the safe transport of perishable goods. Full Scale Logistics prides itself on its commitment to product integrity, safety, and delivering exceptional service to its customers. The company values its drivers highly, offering competitive pay, excellent benefits, and equipment designed for comfort and efficiency on the road.

This opportunity at Full Scale Logistics is for experienced refrigerated (reefer) drivers to join their nationwide over-the-road (OTR) operations. The position is full-time and offers a salary range of $80,000 to $100,000 per year, plus a $12,000 sign-on bonus payable after 90 days of employment. Drivers will benefit from performance bonuses including safety, inspection, and referral bonuses, along with a fuel card that eliminates out-of-pocket fuel expenses.

The role requires drivers to transport temperature-sensitive freight across varied routes nationwide, maintaining stringent temperature controls and ensuring timely deliveries. Drivers will operate 2024 or newer automatic Mack and Kenworth trucks equipped with advanced driver comforts for an improved driving experience. The company offers dedicated dispatchers who coordinate schedules to fit drivers’ needs, helping them maintain an ideal balance between work and home time.

In addition to competitive financial compensation, Full Scale Logistics provides health, dental, and vision insurance starting at 60 days, along with eligibility for a health savings account (HSA) and paid time off. This comprehensive benefits package supports drivers’ well-being both on and off the road.

The driver role involves a strong focus on safety, compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and the ability to work independently. Candidates must be dependable, detail-oriented, and capable of managing temperature control operations and electronic logging devices (ELD) effectively. Full Scale Logistics seeks team members who take pride in professionalism, who are proactive communicators, and who consistently uphold the company’s high standards at all shipper and receiver locations.

If you are an experienced reefer driver looking for a company that values your expertise and offers a supportive work environment, Full Scale Logistics provides an outstanding career path. The recruitment process is straightforward, with options to apply online or by direct phone contact, ensuring a quick response from the hiring team. This role not only promises competitive pay and benefits but also an opportunity to work for a reputable company dedicated to safety, product integrity, and driver satisfaction.
