Box Truck Driver
About The Position
PowerPak is hiring a full-time, hourly Box Truck Driver for an overnight line-haul route connecting its Congers, New York, and Hanover, Maryland, distribution centers. The driver operates a 26-foot box truck five nights a week, departing Congers at 8:00 PM, delivering inventory to Hanover within its receiving window, and returning freight to New York as assigned. The route and schedule are consistent, and the driver works independently for most of the night while maintaining communication with leadership when plans change. The role includes vehicle inspections, checking and securing cargo, completing transfer paperwork and electronic logs, following DOT requirements, coordinating load handoffs, and helping stage and load outbound transfers when needed. The position requires frequent lifting and carrying, occasional team lifting of heavier items, and the use of a pallet jack and liftgate. Offers are contingent on a driving-record review, a current DOT medical card, completion of federal driver qualification requirements, and a drug screen. PowerPak describes its culture as People First and offers team members regular one-on-ones, stay interviews, performance reviews, and opportunities to share ideas. Eligible team members may enroll in benefits through ADP TotalSource, with coverage starting 30 days after hire.
