Delivery Driver - Class A CDL

Virginia Eagle • Charlottesville, VA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

If you love the open road, thrive when you're moving, and want to own your route from start to finish — this opening out of our Charlottesville facility is your next career move. Virginia Eagle Distributing (VED) is one of Virginia's leading beverage distributors, putting product on the shelves of bars, restaurants, and retail accounts across the region — and our Class A CDL Delivery Drivers are the ones who make it happen. This is a physically demanding, high-energy role. You'll be on your feet all day: lifting cases, building displays, rotating product, and covering ground on your route. If a desk job sounds like a nightmare and you do your best work when you're active and on the move, you're exactly who we're looking for. As a Class A CDL Delivery Driver at VED, you're not just dropping product at the back door — you're the face of our company at every account, the person our customers count on, and the reason the shelves stay full. The schedule: Tuesday through Friday, home every night. Three-day weekends built in, no strings attached.
