Shuttle Driver

Alright, let's talk about this shuttle driver job in San Antonio, TX. It's a specific gig with a clear routine, and it pays the bills. Here's the deal, straight from the posting.

The Pay & Schedule

The annual pay range is $60,000 to $70,000. There's also a quarterly performance incentive of $450; hit it every quarter and there's a $2000 total kicker. You get a $5000 sign on bonus, but terms apply; if you've worked for any Performance Food Group company in the last six months, you aren't eligible for it.

Your schedule is Sunday through Friday. You'll dispatch for 1 3 trips sometime between 2:30 PM and 12:00 AM, depending on the load. Plan on working a required third shift schedule, which is Sunday through Thursday nights. Schedules can vary.

You'll need to complete two weeks of training in Temple, TX.

What You'd Be Doing

You're moving trailers. The core of the job is transporting empty trailers to our warehouse locations and then turning around to deliver loaded trailers back to the shuttle yard. You'll drive a tandem trailer, tractor trailer, or straight truck on intrastate and interstate routes.

• Perform all DOT pre trip and post trip safety checks on your tractor and trailer.
• Inspect your load to make sure freight is secured properly before you roll.
• Follow the predetermined route schedule for deliveries and pickups.
• Hook and unhook trailers per our safety guidelines every time.
• Park and store equipment in its designated spots when you're done.
• Lock and secure all equipment and freight without exception.
• Collect any damaged goods or customer returns, bring them back to base, and handle the paperwork.
• Unload equipment or materials from trailers when needed; keep your tractor and our dock areas clean.
• Accurate logging of your daily hours of service is a must, following all federal DOT and company rules.

And look, sometimes other duties come up. We all pitch in to get things done right.

The Must Haves

• A valid Class A CDL with a Doubles Endorsement is non negotiable.
• You need 6 to 12 months of commercial driving experience under your belt.
• A clean Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) for the last three years is required.
• You have to be at least 21 years old.
• A high school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience gets you in the door.
• You must meet all state licensing rules where they apply.
• Passing a pre employment drug test and a road test are part of the deal.
• A valid DOT Health Card; or being able to get one; is essential.

The Physical Side

The job isn't just driving. You'll be handling cases and freight that typically weigh between 60 and 90 pounds. You need to be able to hand lift that stuff and use equipment like two wheelers or lift gates to move it throughout your shift.
