Class A CDL Route Delivery Driver - Home Daily!

Cash-Wa • Lincoln, NE

5d • Onsite

About The Position

This position starts and ends in Lincoln. Multiple driving assignments are available, including local delivery routes, early-morning key-account routes, a regional over-the-road role based in Kearney, a Lincoln shuttle, and a day backhaul route. Most local positions are home daily, and most positions have no scheduled weekends. The work is steady year-round, with options that involve handling freight and drop-and-hook work.

Regular Monday–Friday route drivers work 4–5 days per week and average 40–50 hours per week. Typical start times are 4:30–5:30 a.m.; end times vary with order size. Drivers pick up a packed trailer, follow an assigned delivery route, build loads for delivery at each stop, read and scan delivery tickets, coordinate product placement with customers, collect signatures, and develop relationships with repeat customers. Longer routes are moving toward four-day schedules averaging about 45 hours per week, with occasional fifth days to cover routes as needed.

Early-morning key-account routes serve large accounts, have fewer stops and heavier loads on some routes, and pay a $1.50-per-hour differential. Schedules and typical hours vary by route: one route runs Monday and Tuesday, then Thursday and Friday, starts at 1 a.m., and averages 10–12 hours per day, with two two-day routes requiring an overnight stay. Overnight lodging is provided, along with a $40 per diem for each overnight stay. Other listed routes start at midnight and average 9–10 hours per day (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday), or start at 1 a.m. and average 8–9 hours per day (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). The latter requires two people: one CDL driver and a trainee or permanent lumper.

The regional OTR position is a no-touch CDL role based in Kearney. Drivers are generally out for 4–6 days, possibly up to 10 days, then back for 1–2 days. Runs generally include at least three stops between leaving Lincoln and returning. Drivers use a sleeper cab governed at 70 mph and are paid $0.63 per mile, averaging 2,000–3,000 miles per week, with eligibility for detention and layover pay. A $40 taxable per diem is provided for each overnight stay. The position is also eligible for paid time off and holiday pay at eight hours per day, calculated using average gross pay from the prior two pay periods.

The Lincoln shuttle typically runs two trips per night between Lincoln and Kearney, hauling two empty trailers to Kearney and returning with two full trailers, though drivers may shuttle to other locations. It typically runs Sunday through Thursday, 6 p.m.–4 a.m.; on Sundays, the start may be as early as 4 p.m. The position requires doubles.

The day backhaul route leaves the Lincoln facility at 4 a.m. with an empty single trailer, picks up product at a remote location, and returns it to Lincoln. Loading waits may range from 30 minutes to three hours, depending on facility throughput. This is an hourly position, with paid time on the clock from departure in Lincoln until return.

A $1,500 new-CDL-driver sign-on bonus is paid in installments: $200 at three months, $300 at six months, $500 at 12 months, and $500 at 18 months. Drivers are eligible for quarterly bonuses. If a driver does not have a Class A CDL at hire, bonus eligibility begins after receiving the CDL.
