CDL Route Driver

About Darling Ingredients

We began as a family business in 1882 and have grown into the world’s leading innovative developer and producer of sustainable organic ingredients for a growing population. Headquartered in Irving, TX with regional offices in Cold Spring, KY and Des Moines, IA, we operate production facilities across the U.S. and employ over 10,000 people worldwide. We repurpose and reuse what others might consider waste, capturing valuable ingredients and nutrients to help maximize what nature has to offer.

Our products include pet food, fertilizer, and biofuel. We value our employees and seek people who share our ideals of integrity, transparency, and entrepreneurship while offering competitive pay, excellent benefits, stability, and career growth opportunities.

As a Route Driver, you will collect and transport raw materials from our extensive customer base back to our facility. Driving a pump truck, you will collect materials from multiple customers along your route each day, managing your route using an onboard computer (OBC) and maintaining an up‑to‑date backup paper log for compliance. You will keep your truck clean, complete daily vehicle condition reports, and provide exceptional professional service to all customers while complying with all laws and regulations.

You will enjoy the opportunity to hit the road for a living while returning home every night.
