The Airgas Local CDL A Driver position based in North Hollywood, CA, is a critical role responsible for the safe and efficient delivery of compressed gas cylinders to local and regional business customers. Operating from the Vanowen retail shop, drivers utilize company-provided tractor trailers, straight trucks, or box trucks to ensure timely and secure deliveries. The role involves loading, unloading, and returning compressed gas cylinders and supplies, often requiring physical activity such as strapping and unstrapping cylinders and handling deliveries at customer sites using a hand cart. This delivery driver position offers a daytime schedule from Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with occasional weekends, and provides the significant benefit of being home every night. Compensation starts at $30 per hour, with the possibility of earning monthly bonuses depending on experience, and includes a $1,000 referral bonus for new hires.

This position comes with a comprehensive benefits package that supports the whole employee, including medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), disability insurance, and paid parental leave. Employees are eligible for 401(k) retirement plans with company matching, tuition assistance, and paid holidays, vacation, and sick time, with benefits becoming active after just 30 days of employment. The Local CDL A Driver role embodies Airgas's commitment to safety, customer service excellence, and community engagement, making it a rewarding opportunity for qualified CDL drivers looking to work with a respected leader in the industrial gases industry. The physical nature of the position, combined with Airgas's strong emphasis on respect and inclusion, creates a dynamic, supportive environment where every associate can thrive and contribute to the company’s ongoing success.
