Position Overview
We are looking for a reliable, safety-first, and physically active Local Class A CDL Driver to handle a combined Yard Hostler and Shuttle operation in the Phoenix area. This is a vital role where precision, timing, and a sharp focus on safety keep our plant running seamlessly.
If you prefer a fast-paced role that keeps you moving and physically active rather than sitting in a cab for hours on end, this is the perfect opportunity. You will be home daily, working a night shift, and managing local shuttle runs alongside yard jockeying.
What You'll Do (Responsibilities)
- Local Shuttle Runs: Transport trailers from the bakery to the Distribution Center (DC)—a quick, efficient 7-mile run between facilities.
- Yard Hostling: Handle yard jockeying and asset management across both the bakery and DC locations.
- Cargo Security: Ensure all trailers are properly sealed and secured before shuttling. This is a high-priority task to prevent plant shutdowns and operational delays.
- Physical Unloading: Safely unload lift-gate trailers loaded with bread stacks and wheeled trays/carts at transit points.
- Operational Flexibility: Help out with local delivery runs if bakery shuttle tasks are completed early in the shift.
What We Offer (Benefits & Perks)
- Home Daily: Enjoy a stable, predictable routine with dedicated night-time driving shifts.
- Consistent Pay: Dependable weekly income featuring steady hourly wages combined with per-stop unloading bonuses.
- Full Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance packages plus company perks.
- Career Growth: Opportunities to secure preferred days off as you gain seniority with the account.
- Onsite Convenience: Dedicated personal vehicle parking and onsite tractor parking provided.
- Supportive Culture: Work with an incredibly supportive customer base and management team.
Job Requirements
- License: Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
- Experience: Minimum of 6 months of verifiable Class A CDL experience within the past 12 months.
- Location: Must live within a 40-mile radius of Phoenix, AZ.
- Physical Ability: Comfortable performing daily physical labor, including operating lift-gates and handling wheeled bread carts/stacks.
- Safety & Punctuality: A strong track record of defensive driving, safety compliance, and on-time execution.
