CDL Truck Driver, Home Daily, 401K, PTO
About The Position
CDL Truck Drivers operate heavy-duty trucks equipped with front-, side-, or rear-end load-lift attachments, depending on the line of business and vehicle.

The posting describes a Monday–Friday schedule with a 5 a.m. start time, and notes that drivers are home at night and on weekends.
