Regional CDL A Driver
About The Position
Ingredients Plus is hiring a Regional CDL A Driver based in Lakeville, New York. The role involves a mix of local and regional deliveries of food-grade ingredients using liquid tank, bulk pneumatic, and van trailers. Drivers typically work the same consecutive five-day schedule each week and spend two to five nights in the sleeper. Finish times may vary based on assigned routes and business needs. The position requires flexibility to work various days and times, including weekends and holidays as needed; additional shifts may be mandated based on business needs. Pay is based on miles driven plus additional component pay for eligible work. Current drivers average approximately $2,100 per week, but this is not a guaranteed minimum and actual earnings vary with routes, mileage, activity pay, available work, and time worked. The role also offers quarterly performance bonuses, tenure bonuses, and weekend and layover incentives when applicable. Drivers receive weekly direct deposit. The tanker endorsement is not required to apply but must be obtained before the start date.
