CDL-B Driver

What this job is

You're driving a tractor trailer or straight truck out of Rogers, MN. The schedule is five days a week, Monday through Saturday. Your day starts early; dispatch happens between midnight and 5 AM. You'll be out for about 10 to 12 hours each day.

The pay starts at $24 an hour during your training period. After that, you move to a component pay structure. There's also a $5,000 sign on bonus available; terms apply, and if you've worked for any Performance Food Group company in the last six months, you aren't eligible for it.

What you'll do on the road

• Run local, over the road (OTR), shuttle, and overnight routes to deliver food products.
• Your day begins and ends with thorough DOT safety checks on your truck and trailer.
• Make sure the freight is loaded right and secured before you head out.
• Check invoices against what's on the truck so everything matches up.
• Drive your route safely and deliver orders on time to restaurants, schools, hospitals, and hotels.
• Unload the product yourself at each stop, often using a two wheeler or lift gate to move cases into the customer's storage area.
• Cases usually weigh between 10 and 35 pounds; sometimes they can be between 60 and 90 pounds depending on the delivery.
• You're the face of the company at each stop. That means verifying deliveries with customers, getting signatures, and handling cash or check payments when needed.
• Manage any damaged goods or customer returns by bringing them back and completing the paperwork.
• Keep your daily log of service hours updated to stay compliant with all DOT rules.
• Tidy up your tractor and trailer throughout your shift. At the end of the day, secure all equipment and finish your reports.

The basics we need from you

• A valid CDL B license is mandatory.
• You need at least 12 months of commercial driving experience under your belt.
• A high school diploma or GED (or state approved equivalent).
• You have to be at least 21 years old.
• A clean Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) for the last three years is required.
• A current DOT Health Card, or you must be able to get one promptly.
• You'll need to pass a road test with us after accepting an offer.

The hiring steps

A post offer drug test and criminal background check are part of our standard process. You must also meet all state specific licensing requirements for Knoxville, TN where applicable. We'll go over all that with you if we move forward together.
