New York City routes are excluded. Drivers pick up backhauls for return to the distribution center and average two loads per day plus a backhaul.

Drivers use automatic day-cab trucks that are slip-seated and cannot be taken home. Drivers must arrange their own transportation to and from work. The holiday schedule includes Thanksgiving and Christmas off, with work required on New Year's Day. Average annual pay is $87,000, average weekly pay is $1,670, and mileage pay is $0.61–$0.64 per mile. The role includes a $10,000 sign-on bonus. A hazmat endorsement is required within 60 days of hire; eligible drivers who obtain it after starting may be reimbursed for the cost. Steel-toe boot costs are reimbursed after one year.
