Job Description

Pay Range: $22.84- $26.35

Multiple Openings in Schenectady, NY – Apply Now!

Earn up to $130,000 per year, plus bonuses. Home after every shift. 99% no-touch freight.

We're looking for more than someone who can operate a tractor-trailer.

We're looking for professional drivers —people who take pride in doing the job right, make safe decisions when nobody is watching, take care of the equipment entrusted to them, solve problems, and can be counted on by their teammates.

If you're looking for a place to build a long-term career—not simply your next driving job—we'd like to talk with you.

Why Drive With Us?

• Earn Up to $130,000 Per Year — Plus Bonuses

  Our drivers have the opportunity to earn up to $130,000 annually, with bonuses paid in addition to that earning potential.

  Additional incentives include:

  • Weekly Safety Bonus
  • Weekend bonuses
  • Extra holiday pay
  • Extra-shift incentives
  • Employee referral bonus

  Experienced CDL-A drivers can also enter at an accelerated pay rate based on qualifying experience.

  Home After Every Shift

  No multi-day hauls. No sleeping in the truck.

  Our drivers operate local and regional routes and return home after every shift .

  Both 4-day and 5-day schedules are available.

  99% No-Touch Freight

  Our drivers aren't spending their days unloading cases by hand. Powered pallet jacks handle the vast majority of freight movement, making this considerably less physically demanding than many food and beverage delivery operations.

  A Variety of Schedule Options

  We're a 24/7 operation with driver start times throughout the day and night, giving us a wide variety of schedule options.

  We also believe in being upfront about expectations:

  Newer drivers should expect to work nights and at least one weekend day while building seniority.

  As seniority grows, additional schedule opportunities become available.

  Modern, Well-Maintained Equipment

  • Tractors 3 years old or newer
  • Mostly automatic transmissions
  • Some manual transmissions available
  • Modern fleet and safety technology
  • Well-maintained equipment

  Generous Paid Time Off

  • Benefit time eligibility after just 30 days
  • Paid sick time
  • 6 paid holidays per year
  • 1 week vacation after your first year
  • 2 weeks vacation after two years
  • Additional vacation with greater tenure

  Comprehensive Benefits

  • Dental
  • Vision
  • 401(k)
  • On-site gym
  • On-site café
  • Additional company benefits

What Makes a Successful Driver Here?

Our drivers spend much of their day working independently.

We don't expect someone to look over your shoulder all day. We trust our drivers to make good decisions, solve problems, communicate when something isn't right, and represent our company professionally.

Our most successful drivers are people who:

• Put safety ahead of shortcuts
• Do the right thing even when nobody is watching
• Show up when their teammates are counting on them
• Take ownership when something goes wrong
• Notice problems and communicate them before they become bigger problems
• Take care of company equipment
• Accept coaching and continue learning
• Contribute ideas based on their experience
• Treat stores, customers, and coworkers professionally
• Want to build a career , not simply find their next job

Experience matters. Character matters more.

We can teach someone our operation. We can't teach someone to care.
