Local Class A Truck Driver

Local Class A CDL Shuttle Driver

Drivers will shuttle between 2 customers throughout the Richmond area.

The account uses automatic/self-unloading trailers. Drivers receive training on the specialized equipment and operating procedures. Drivers are frequently in and out of the tractor throughout the day performing drop-and-hook and live pickup/delivery work. Depending on customer volume, a driver may handle approximately 5–6 loads per day up to 10–12 loads per day. Drivers must be comfortable maneuvering trailers in tight spaces and working within active customer production facilities.

The operation includes switching/jockey and shuttle positions. Daily assignments are based on production requirements and operational needs. Work is generally performed to completion, meaning daily finish times may vary.

This is a union-represented account. Candidates are informed that a union representative will meet with them after hire. Drivers can elect whether or not to pay union membership dues.

Drivers must also successfully complete the extended background and security clearance process.

Before an ID badge can be issued, the driver must complete the required background process and watch the required video at the Chester terminal. Additional operational training is then provided for the various business units.
