About The Position

Velocity Rail Solutions is hiring a Class A CDL Driver for locomotive fueling in Bellevue, Ohio. The company provides locomotive fueling services under long-term contracts with Class I Railroads. Dedicated trucks operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offering year-round employment with guaranteed hours and consistent pay. Drivers report to the Bellevue location and operate a manual 10-speed truck.

This is a hands-on role rather than typical trucking: approximately 90–95% of the work is performed outside the truck. Drivers use specialized equipment to fuel locomotives, work around active rail equipment, respond to dispatches during assigned shifts, and complete inspections and documentation. The role requires working outdoors in all weather and climbing in and out of trucks or locomotive steps multiple times per shift.

Rail operations run around the clock, so dispatches may occur at any time during a shift. Drivers are paid for the entire 12-hour shift, including breaks, lunch, and wait time, regardless of the number of dispatches. Candidates must be available for days, nights, weekends, and holidays, and must be on call during scheduled shifts.
