Job Description
MedTrans is a division of Medline Industries, LP, a leading global healthcare company dedicated to providing quality medical products and solutions. MedTrans operates as Medline's private fleet of professional drivers, responsible for delivering critical, life-saving medical products directly to both commercial entities and residential customers. MedTrans boasts a fleet exceeding 1,900 trucks equipped with newer, state-of-the-art equipment to ensure reliability and efficiency. The company manages a vast network of over 50 distribution centers across the United States, enabling them to provide fast, dependable 1-day shipping to approximately 95% of the country. This vast infrastructure and commitment to excellence position MedTrans as a key player in the healthcare logistics industry, dedicated to supporting the medical supply chain that hospitals, clinics, and patients rely upon.
This particular role is for a Lead Driver within the MedTrans fleet. The Lead Driver is entrusted with operating a straight truck on local delivery routes, transporting vital medical supplies that can impact patient care and outcomes. Beyond just transport duties, the Lead Driver plays a central role in fostering positive and professional relationships with customers by ensuring that deliveries are timely, accurate, and come with a high standard of safety. This role carries the additional responsibility of supporting and motivating local transportation teams, serving as a bridge between drivers and management, and communicating crucial information effectively. The Lead Driver is also accountable for the safe loading and unloading of products, maintaining safety protocols including vehicle inspections and compliance with Federal and State regulations, recording travel and cargo logs accurately, and managing any changes to delivery routes or schedules in coordination with dispatchers.
MedTrans highly values candidates with at least two years of tractor trailer driving experience who hold a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and maintain a clean driving record free of serious violations. Although the role primarily requires a Class A CDL, the operation may involve Class B vehicles, highlighting the versatility demanded. MedTrans is committed to work-life balance, offering local routes that allow drivers to be home daily. This position offers competitive hourly pay ranging from $28.75 to $41.75, depending on location, education, experience, and skillset. Furthermore, the company invests in driver welfare with access to new and maintained trucks and equipment, affordable medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug plans, generous paid time off, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, and professional development opportunities.
As an equal opportunity employer, Medline Industries fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace where employees from all backgrounds feel valued and can grow their careers. With a strong emphasis on safety as the highest priority, Medline ensures its drivers have the resources and support necessary to succeed and contribute to a critical healthcare supply chain ecosystem. This role offers candidates the chance to work with a reputable and expanding global organization dedicated to making a meaningful difference in healthcare delivery through reliable and professional transportation services.
