We’re partnering with a rapidly growing international food distribution company in Northern New Jersey that supplies thousands of specialty food products across the Northeast and beyond. With a strong footprint in global imports, they are expanding and need dependable CDL A Drivers who take pride in their work and want consistent, year-round routes.
This is not a dock-to-dock role. They’re looking for a hands-on, professional driver who is comfortable managing deliveries from start to finish — including loading, unloading, and ensuring product integrity. If you’re someone who prefers steady work, modern equipment, and a company that values reliability and accountability, this is a strong opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing- Operate 2021 automatic day cab tractors with refrigerated trailers (36–48 ft)

- Comply with DOT regulations and company safety standards
- Report any defects, violations, or incidents promptly
- 2 years driving 24–26 ft straight trucks
- CDL A license preferred

This role is ideal for a driver who is disciplined, reliable, and understands that food distribution requires punctuality and attention to detail. If you’ve worked in refrigerated transport, multi-stop delivery, or specialty food distribution, that’s a strong plus.
Why You’ll Love It ThereYou’ll join a company experiencing strong growth with stable, year-round freight and consistent scheduling. Drivers are supported with modern equipment and a leadership team that values safety and performance.

- 401(k) with company match
