• You will transport freight on schedule across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Northern California, following assigned routes, planning fuel and rest stops sensibly, and communicating proactively with your fleet manager when weather, traffic, or a customer delay puts a delivery window at risk
• Drivers handle two to four loads per week with three to four stops per load, unloading trailers using rollers
• This account suits drivers who like combining driving with hands-on work and want weekly home time without giving up earnings

Requirements

• A valid Class A Commercial Driver's License is required, along with a minimum of 3 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience
• You must meet all Department of Transportation qualification requirements and hold a current DOT medical certification
• An acceptable motor vehicle record and safety history are required
• You must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen and comply with all federal testing requirements throughout your employment
• The role requires the physical capability to perform the freight handling described above, including repeated lifting, climbing in and out of the trailer, and sustained activity across a full shift
• Hiring around Portland and Eugene, OR and Seattle, WA
• Drivers living more than 50 miles from Ridgefield need a safe, authorized place to park the truck

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior dedicated account experience is preferred, particularly on fleets with consistent, repeating routes where familiarity with the lane and the customer builds real efficiency
• A clean safety record, consistent on-time performance, and a track record of steady tenure with previous carriers all strengthen an application
• Drivers who communicate well with dispatch, handle customer contact professionally, and take care of their equipment tend to do well on dedicated accounts like this one
