Build a career that keeps you close to home. Oakhurst Dairy is adding a Class B CDL driver to our local delivery team in Waterville. This opportunity is an excellent fit for a motivated, hardworking professional who enjoys working independently, values variety throughout the day, and takes pride in providing dependable service to customers.

This position features a four-day workweek with weekends off and early-morning start times generally between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., depending on the route and driver preferences. Our Portland-based management team coordinates driver schedules, routes, and process improvements locally, working to build schedules that support both the operation and our team members.

Oakhurst Dairy, a subsidiary of Dairy Farmers of America, combines the strength of a farmer-owned parent company with more than a century of local history and community ties. Our compensation, paid time off, benefits, bonuses, equipment, and local support make this an opportunity worth a closer look.

• Competitive compensation starting at $1,450 per week, based on skills and experience.
• Exceptional first-year paid time off including 3 1/2 weeks of vacation, plus paid holidays and sick time.
• $2,500 sign-on bonus paid after successful completion of six months of employment.
• Annual safety bonus of up to $1,000 for drivers who operate safely.
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, flexible spending and health savings account options, and a 401(k) with company matching contribution.
• Additional employee benefits including an employee assistance program, referral program, and tuition reimbursement.
• Company-owned equipment with our own fleet maintenance facility and staff in Portland.
• A continually upgraded fleet equipped with liftgates and automatic transmissions.
• Local leadership and coordination for driver schedules, route organization, and process improvement.
• A company with deep roots backed by strong community ties and a farmer-owned parent company.

You will have the independence that comes with managing a daily delivery route, along with the support of local management, company-owned equipment, on-site fleet maintenance, and a longstanding Maine company that understands the importance of dependable professional drivers.
