The role available is for a Customer Delivery Specialist who holds a Class A CDL license or is in the process of obtaining one, with pay starting up to $92,000 annually depending on experience and job type. This position offers both full-time and part-time scheduling options, including traditional schedules generally involving being dispatched 2 to 5 days per trip and typically returning home approximately 2 days per week. The job is demanding yet rewarding: drivers will experience working in all weather conditions across weekday and weekend shifts, including day and night runs. This role goes beyond just driving; it involves becoming part of a premier team that safely and efficiently transports food products from Dot Foods’ suppliers to customers and distribution centers across the region. Responsibilities include compliance with all Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, proper handling and loading/unloading of both dry and temperature-controlled goods (except in no-touch freight roles), and managing operational goals such as fuel efficiency, idle time, and speed. Physical activity is required, involving the ability to lift average weights of 14 pounds and occasionally up to 60 pounds, along with extended periods of sitting, walking, or standing.

This job offers drivers the chance to truly live their dream, seeing the world from behind the wheel while being part of a reputable company that values their hard work and dedication.
