About the Role

You will be part of a team that values safety and efficiency, utilizing modern equipment with an average tractor age of less than 2.5 years, equipped with collision mitigation systems and navigation.
Why This Role Exists

The Day-to-Day
As a driver, you will perform pickups and deliveries based on customer requirements while adhering to all federal, state, and customer regulations. Your day involves safely operating a Class A tractor-trailer, frequently entering and exiting the vehicle, and handling cargo that may require lifting up to 50 lbs regularly. You will be responsible for reporting any equipment issues, accidents, or traffic violations immediately. With 24/7/365 driver support available, you can focus on the road knowing help is just a call away.
