Job Description

The hiring company is a well-established private fleet specializing in refrigerated freight transportation. This company prides itself on the elite professionalism of its drivers who play a critical role in delivering food products that help put meals on tables for millions of Americans every night. Guided by core values of honesty, integrity, outstanding service, and commitment to safety, the company has earned recognition from multiple industry groups. It offers a secure and rewarding career opportunity for CDL-A drivers seeking consistent employment within a reputable private fleet environment. The company operates with a strong focus on driver well-being and quality of life and fosters a family-owned culture that values professional management and the input of its drivers.

The open position is for an OTR (Over-The-Road) CDL-A Refrigerated Driver. This role involves transporting refrigerated goods across various routes while ensuring timely and safe delivery maintaining product integrity. The driver will operate 2023 and newer Freightliner or Kenworth trucks equipped with modern features such as Auxiliary Power Units (APU), inverters, refrigerators, and complimentary SiriusXM radio entertainment to enhance comfort and efficiency on the road. The position is full-time and offers a competitive weekly guarantee paycheck starting at $1400, coupled with a pay-per-mile rate of 62 to 64 CPM (practical miles), allowing drivers to out-earn their guarantees.

Drivers will receive multiple financial incentives including $750 quarterly bonuses for safety, performance, and inspections, $80 per day per diem pay to keep more money in their paycheck, $200 extended delivery pay, and $200 layover pay. Additionally, detention pay of $25 per hour starts immediately on all company freight loads. Other perks like breakdown pay and paid orientation time demonstrate the company's commitment to driver financial security. The company also honors eight paid holidays annually, including the driver's birthday, enhancing the work-life balance.

This role supports a pet and rider policy allowing drivers to bring along companions, which is a rare and valuable benefit in the trucking industry. The trucks come equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. The company also provides free health and wellness clinics while enrolled in their medical plan and includes a company-paid $50k term life insurance policy. Benefits extend into a comprehensive yet affordable package covering health, life, dental, vision insurance, and a 401k retirement plan with a company match. These benefits underline a robust support system for employees' health and future security.

Additional perks further enhance job satisfaction. The company pays for orientation-related travel, offers flexible home-time options to suit individual lifestyles, provides one week of paid vacation after 90 days of employment, and features unique incentives such as substantial beef discounts. Drivers can relax and recharge in an on-site drivers' lounge fitted with leather chairs, fresh towels, free laundry services, and a big-screen TV, fostering a friendly and comfortable community environment.

Overall, the OTR CDL-A Refrigerated Driver position represents a prestigious career opportunity with a private fleet that prioritizes driver earnings potential, safety, comfort, and quality of life. Prospective candidates committed to professionalism and safety with a clean driving record will find a rewarding and stable career path with substantial benefits, bonuses, and an attractive work environment.
