If you are trying to get off the road and actually sleep in your own bed every day, we have an opening on a local dedicated bakery fleet. This is an active, fast-paced job where you'll handle a mix of short-distance shuttling and yard switching instead of just sitting behind the wheel all shift.
This operation runs on a zero-margin timeline. Any delivery delays or on-site accidents will instantly halt production for the entire facility. Because things are so tight, we can't take trainees or team drivers, you have to be ready to run completely solo on day one.
What You'll Earn
Hourly Base: Start at a flat $21.50 per hour.
Stop Incentives: Earn an extra $45.00 unload pay added directly to your clock for every stop completed.
Weekly Gross: Drivers on this account average a steady $1,300 gross every single week.
The Route & Physical Demands
The Shuttle Loop: You will run short-haul segments between the plant and the distribution center, which sit roughly 7 miles apart.
Yard Work: You are responsible for swapping, sealing, and locking down trailers at both locations.
Backup Runs: If yard work slows down, you might take a quick local store delivery to secure your full shift hours.
The Labor: This is a high-stamina role. You will manage live loads and full manual unloads, using a built-in liftgate to roll out wheeled bread trays and delivery carts.
Your Schedule & Home Time
Home Daily: 100% Home Daily. Complete your turns and head straight back to your own house after every shift.
The Shift: Dedicated NIGHT SHIFT run. You must be completely comfortable with steady night driving and technical backing environments.
Calendar Setup: Weekend dispatch is standard. Days off might be split when you first start, but you can use your seniority over time to bid on consecutive off-days. Extra shifts are readily available if you want to pull in more hours.
Holidays & Facility Perks: Guaranteed completely off on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Secure onsite parking is provided for both your personal vehicle and your tractor.
What It Takes to Qualify
Hiring Boundary: Must live within 50 miles of our Phoenix terminal hub (Zip Code: 85043).
Experience Tracks: No trainees allowed. You need at least 6 months of OTR within the last year, or 12 months of OTR within the last 5 years. Local Class A tractor-trailer or hostling experience counts directly.
Credentials: Valid Class A CDL and a current DOT Medical Card. No special endorsements required.
Background Check: Maximum of 4 driving jobs in the past year and zero major preventable accidents within the last 5 years.
Screening: Must pass a mandatory hair and urine drug analysis.
Not SAP Friendly.
