Want Flexibility Without Giving Up Great Earning Potential?

Rare Transportation is hiring CDL drivers with passenger endorsements for flexible, event-based shifts in the Birmingham area!

Why commit to a traditional 40-hour workweek when you can earn an average of $30–$34 per hour working the shifts that fit your schedule?
