Position Summary

The CDL Driver is responsible for safely and efficiently operating a 24-foot straight truck to deliver fresh dairy products to customer locations on an assigned route. This position requires compliance with all DOT and FMCSA regulations, excellent customer service, and the ability to perform physical delivery tasks.

Compensation

$270.00/day

Overtime Half Rate Description

Drivers who work in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week will be paid overtime, calculated as follows: The driver's total compensation for the week (under the daily rate or otherwise) shall be divided by the driver's total hours for the week to determine the driver's "regular rate" for that week. Then, the driver will receive one half of their regular rate as thus determined multiplied by the number of hours in excess of forty that the driver worked in that week. Thus, for example, if a driver has a daily rate of $220 and works 45 hours in a work week over the course of five days, then the driver's total compensation will be ($220)(5) = $1,100. Dividing that total compensation by hours results in ($1,100) / (45 hrs.) = $24.44/hr. One half of $24.44 is $12.22. The driver worked 5 hours in excess of forty hours and therefore receives the following additional pay for overtime: (5) ($12.44) = $61.11
