Job Description

Professional Transportation, Inc. (PTI) is a leading provider of crew transportation services for railroads across the United States, operating since 1980. The company is known for its commitment to quality, safety, and dependability, making it the nation's largest rail crew transportation company. PTI specializes in providing timely, efficient, and secure shuttle services that pick up and drop off train crews as requested by railroad customers. Operating much like a shuttle system, PTI matches its drivers to trips 24/7 to fulfill the transportation needs of its valued clients. They emphasize safety as their number one priority, ensuring all transportation is conducted responsibly and with the utmost care for the passengers and vehicle operation.

PTI is currently hiring Crew Transport Drivers in Norfolk, VA, offering competitive starting pay rates with opportunities for shift differentials. Local Yard Van Drivers can earn $15.00 per hour, while Over-the-Road (OTR) Drivers start at $16.00 per hour, with an additional $2.00 per hour shift differential for qualified OTR shifts. The position is ideal for dependable, outgoing individuals who want to work in a fast-paced, unique environment while being a crucial part of the rail transportation industry. No prior professional driving experience is required, making this an excellent entry-level opportunity for those seeking career growth within a reputable company.

As a PTI Van Driver, you will take on the essential role of safely transporting railroad crew members to their required destinations, with trip lengths and times varying according to railroad customer schedules.

The job involves shift work with an emphasis on on-time performance and continuous communication with dispatch to ensure seamless deliveries. PTI supports its drivers with thorough on-the-job training, safety recognition programs, and a structured system for career advancement. Employees benefit from multiple health insurance plan options, paid vacation, 401(k) retirement plans, and the assurance of being home each day without heavy lifting or excessive physical strain.

The role demands a professional approach to daily responsibilities such as conducting vehicle inspections, reporting any mechanical issues, and adhering strictly to company policies and procedures. Drivers must be able to open and close doors and hatches for crew members, provide timely updates to the Dispatch Center, and maintain a positive public image of PTI through outstanding customer service. This opportunity suits motivated individuals ready to be part of a safe, customer-focused team that values reliability and teamwork.

Working at PTI means joining a company that values diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity. As an equal employment opportunity employer, PTI embraces all applicants regardless of race, color, age, sex, or other protected characteristics, maintaining a drug-free workplace in all locations.
