Communicating effectively with dispatchers and customers regarding delivery schedules, potential delays, and any issues encountered en route is essential. Navigating routes efficiently, optimizing fuel consumption, and ensuring the overall safety of yourself and others on the road are paramount. This role requires a high degree of self-discipline, time management, and responsibility, as you will be operating independently for extended periods. Our client values safety above all else and provides ongoing training and support to ensure compliance and success.
The ideal candidate will possess a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a clean driving record. A minimum of 2 years of verifiable over-the-road (OTR) driving experience is required. Experience with dry van, reefer, or flatbed trailers is a plus. Knowledge of electronic logging devices (ELDs) is essential. Must be able to pass a DOT physical and drug screening. Strong understanding of federal and state transportation regulations is necessary. Excellent defensive driving skills and a commitment to safety are paramount. The ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and maintain professionalism on the road is critical. This is a remote position, meaning drivers manage their routes and schedules with support from dispatch, offering a unique level of autonomy and flexibility within the trucking industry.
