CDL-A Shuttle Driver HOU

Job Description

CDL-A Shuttle Truck Drivers play an integral role by transporting LTL freight overnight between service centers throughout our network. Because most shuttle drivers rarely have to touch the freight itself, your job is as simple as dropping, hooking and getting back on the road. Shuttle drivers enjoy daily home time, which is more than just a little perk for a job like this one.

* Competitive pay making up to .86 CPM (depending on experience)

* Average $2,021 per week; $105,092 per year
