Job description

Local CDL-A Yard & Shuttle Driver

If you want a local driving gig where you stay active instead of just staring at the highway all shift, this dedicated bakery fleet has an immediate opening. You'll handle a fast‑paced mix of short‑distance shuttling and yard hostling while sleeping in your own bed every single night.

Because the bakery facility operates on a zero‑margin timeline—where any delay or accident completely shuts down production—we cannot accept trainees or teams. You must be ready to run completely solo from day one.

Pay & Physical Demands

Start at a baseline flat rate of $21.50 per hour.

Add an extra $45.00 unload pay to your clock for every single stop completed.

Weekly Average: Expect a stable gross average of $1,300 every single week.

The Route Loop: Run short‑haul shuttle segments between the bakery plant and the distribution center, which sit roughly 7 miles apart.

On‑the‑Job Duties: You'll swap and secure trailers at both yards. If production catches up and things slow down, you might jump on a quick local store delivery to protect your full shift hours.

Labor Profile: High‑stamina role handling live loads and full manual unloads, using a trailer liftgate to roll out bread trays and delivery carts.

Shift Details & Home Time

Home Daily: 100% Home Daily. Finish your work and clock out to head home after every single shift.

The Shift: Dedicated NIGHT SHIFT run. You must be completely comfortable with steady night driving and technical backing environments.

Schedule: Weekend dispatch is standard. Your days off might be split when you first join, but you can use your seniority over time to bid on consecutive off‑days. Extra shifts are readily available if you want more hours.

Perks & Holidays: Guaranteed 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 Radius: Must live within 50 miles of the Phoenix terminal hub (Zip Code: 85043).

Experience Tracks: No trainees allowed. Requires 6+ months of OTR within the last 12 months, 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 needed.

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.

Corporate Benefits

Full corporate health infrastructure (comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options), matching 401(k) retirement structures active after 60 days, paid time off, and 24/7 account‑specific dispatch assistance.
