Local CDL Class A Driver

Poseidon Distribution is a reputable local transportation company based in King County, Seattle, WA, that partners with Amazon through the Amazon Freight Partner program. Specializing in freight distribution, the company plays a crucial role in ensuring timely and efficient delivery of goods across the region. With a strong commitment to service quality and safety, Poseidon Distribution is expanding and actively seeking skilled Class A CDL truck drivers to join their team. This opportunity is ideal for professional drivers who are motivated, safety-conscious, and interested in working with state-of-the-art Amazon equipment and technology. As a partner of Amazon, Poseidon Distribution offers drivers a chance to be part of a leading network dedicated to customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

The role of a Class A CDL Truck Driver within the Amazon Freight Partner program involves local routes originating and ending in King County, with drivers typically covering about 300-500 miles round trip each day. Unlike long-haul trucking roles, this position offers drivers the advantage of returning home after each shift, supporting a better work-life balance. Drivers manage freight that is often no-touch, including drop and hook deliveries, as well as occasional live loads. Starting pay ranges from $26 to $28 per hour, with competitive benefits available for full-time employees. Full-time drivers work approximately three days per week, totaling 36 to 38 hours, while part-time options allow for flexibility between one to three days weekly. Shifts can vary, including afternoon, evening, weekday, and weekend schedules, providing scheduling options to accommodate various lifestyles.

Drivers must have a valid Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL), a clean driving record, and a minimum of one year of relevant commercial driving experience. Safety and compliance are paramount, with requirements such as passing DOT physicals, drug screenings, and background checks. The role demands proficiency in communicating in English to navigate traffic laws, communicate with dispatch, and complete necessary documentation accurately. In addition, drivers utilize handheld technology and GPS systems to optimize delivery routes and maintain real-time communication, blending traditional driving responsibilities with modern technological tools.

Employment under Poseidon Distribution means joining a company culture that emphasizes teamwork, respect, and personal growth within a fast-paced but supportive environment. While drivers are not employed directly by Amazon, they are integral to fulfilling Amazon's promise of timely and reliable delivery services. The position recognizes and rewards drivers who demonstrate dedication, professionalism, and a customer-centric attitude. Employees can expect a positive workplace where their contributions are valued and compensated fairly. Benefits include health insurance and paid time off for eligible full-time workers, supporting overall wellbeing and job satisfaction. This role offers an excellent avenue for experienced CDL drivers looking to join a stable, expanding carrier with a strong partnership with a global leader in logistics.
