About The Position

CJ Logistics is hiring a local Class A CDL driver to transport freight safely and efficiently while providing professional customer service. Drivers operate company trucks, load cargo in delivery sequence, respond to customer inquiries, report concerns, and adapt routes to traffic, roadwork, and other disruptions. The role works closely with Sr. Dispatchers and managers to plan routes and track deliveries, and includes routine vehicle upkeep and inspections. Drivers return home each day. The schedule is Monday through Friday with a 10:00 a.m. start time. Drivers may need to work an occasional weekend day, and work hours may also vary by shift assignment and include evenings, weekends, holidays, and overtime based on business needs. Compensation is $0.58 per mile plus $25 per stop, with cents-per-mile increases every 12 months and potential quarterly safety bonuses of $1,300. The position involves extended periods of driving, frequent climbing in and out of vehicles, trailers, and loading docks, and loading and unloading freight. Drivers must meet DOT medical and safety requirements, including participating in alcohol and controlled-substance testing. Work takes place in and around commercial vehicles, on public roads and highways, and at customer or vendor locations, with possible exposure to weather, traffic hazards, warehouse and loading dock environments, noise, vibration, and engine fumes. Vehicles are equipped with in-cab cameras that may record inward- and outward-facing video for safety monitoring, training, and compliance.
