The role of Combination Driver/Dockworker at Old Dominion is integral to maintaining the company’s high standards in transportation and logistics. This position offers a unique blend of responsibilities that include both dockworker duties and tractor-trailer driving. Employees in this role play a crucial part in the safe, timely, and efficient movement of freight—from loading and unloading cargo at service centers to delivering freight securely to customer facilities and work sites within the designated geographic area. Flexibility is essential, with scheduling potentially including third shifts, evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet customer pickup and delivery schedules.

As a Combination Driver/Dockworker, the individual must be detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and hardworking, thriving in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. The role requires operating various equipment such as motorized forklifts, pallet jacks, and manual loading tools while adhering strictly to state and federal Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and guidelines. The driver component of the job includes safe vehicle operation, knowledge of DOT driving hours, inspections, hazardous materials handling, and maintaining a clean driving record. Drivers must pass rigorous medical, drug, and alcohol testing standards set by the U.S. Department of Transportation. In addition to hands-on loading and unloading, the job involves extensive interaction with service center personnel, interpreting shipping documents, and using technological tools like the Dock Yard Management System to monitor freight status. Physical demands are significant, including the ability to lift heavy freight, work in varying environmental conditions, and handle the physical tasks required for freight transport and management.
