POSTED ON 5/9/2026

Straight Truck Driver- CDL A

Newark, NJ | $25.00–$35.00 per hour (depending on experience) 

Schedule: Full-Time | Monday–Friday | Day Shift | Overtime Available

About the Opportunity

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)
  • Complete OTR routes & Perform local deliveries as needed
  • Load and unload product at multiple stops using hand trucks and liftgates
  • Transport goods down ramps and stairs in all weather conditions
  • Inspect vehicle for safety and mechanical issues before and after trips
  • Plan routes and meet scheduled delivery timelines
  • Log driving hours, miles, fuel receipts, and required documentation
  • Comply with DOT regulations and company safety standards
  • Report any defects, violations, or incidents promptly
What They’re Looking For
  • 2 years driving 24–26 ft straight trucks
  • CDL A license preferred
  • H endorsement required

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 There

You’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.

Benefits include:

  • 401(k) with company match
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Life and Disability Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
  • Parental Leave
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • Overtime Opportunities
  • Consistent Monday–Friday schedule

If you’re a CDL A driver who wants steady routes, reliable equipment, and long-term stability, this is worth a serious look.
