Caruso is a well-established, family owned company that celebrates its legacy as a 4th generation business. The company specializes in delivering fresh ready-to-eat and pre-cut produce, sandwiches, salads, and fresh meal kits across the United States. Caruso's commitment to quality and freshness has made it a trusted name in food distribution, consistently supplying retail distribution centers and direct-to-retail stores nationwide with reliable and timely deliveries. Known for its dedication to customer satisfaction and product excellence, Caruso operates within the food distribution industry with an emphasis on efficiency and safety.

The current job opening is for experienced Box Truck Drivers to support local delivery routes. This role focuses on providing exceptional delivery service during evening shifts, starting sometime between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Box Truck Drivers at Caruso are the company’s ambassadors on the road and are responsible for maintaining a professional and positive image while fostering long-lasting customer relationships. Drivers operate company-provided Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) to safely pick up, transport, and deliver food products in a manner that ensures the highest standards of service and customer satisfaction.

The position demands attention to detail, adherence to company policies, procedures, and strict compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Drivers are expected to follow assigned routes and schedules, manage delivery documentation accurately, and carry out all load and unload activities by customer specifications. The role requires physical capability to lift loads up to 50 pounds and the ability to work in diverse weather conditions, reflecting the company’s commitment to reliable service delivery.

Employees in this capacity must be able to work third shift schedules and rotate weekends, making this a dynamic and engaging opportunity for drivers seeking evening work. Caruso values safety, punctuality, and professionalism highly and offers competitive pay up to $26.00 per hour depending on experience and license type. In addition to competitive wages, Caruso provides a robust benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, short and long-term disability coverage, 401k with company match, paid time off, paid holidays, safety bonuses, career advancement opportunities, and a referral program. This comprehensive compensation and benefits structure reflects Caruso’s investment in its employees’ well-being and career growth.

Joining Caruso as a Box Truck Driver offers the chance to be part of a respected company with a strong heritage and a focus on delivering quality food products across the country. Drivers who join Caruso gain not only a stable work environment but also the opportunity to represent a family-founded brand that values its customers and workforce alike. This role is vital to maintaining the company’s reputation for reliability, quality, and outstanding customer service in the competitive food distribution sector.
