What are the responsibilities and job description for the Amazon CDL-A Driver | Local Home Daily | 3 Days/Week = 40 HR Check | No Touch Freight! position at The Forward Group, Inc.?
Amazon LOCAL Home Daily | CDL-A Third Shift | 3 Days/Week | Full Benefits No Touch · Drop & Hook · Home Every Day
Ever wish your workday was over before most people take their lunch break?
That's life on our third shift.
We're a local Amazon Freight Partner based in Chattanooga, TN hiring full-time CDL-A drivers for evening and overnight routes. You'll run clean drop-and-hook freight and be home by lunch — just 3 days a week. That's a full-time paycheck, full benefits, and the majority of your week completely free.
No long-haul. No weeks away. No sleeping in a truck.
Why Third Shift Is Actually the Better Shift
Many drivers don't realize it until they try it — nights are simply smoother:
- Less traffic. The erratic drivers, the four-wheelers cutting you off, the rush hour gridlock — mostly gone. You move freight instead of sitting in it.
- Calmer operations. Fewer people on the dock, fewer interruptions, less noise. You do your job and get out.
- You're left alone to drive. Less micromanagement, fewer check-ins. Professional drivers who just want to work love this.
- Your days are completely yours. Sleep, appointments, kids' school pickups, gym, errands — all of it happens while everyone else is stuck at work. You're already home.
The Schedule That Actually Makes Sense
- Work 3 days per week as a full-time employee
- Afternoon and evening start times available
- Average shift: ~12 hours (plan for up to 14)
- Home by mid-morning most days
- Want more? Flexible OT shifts at your convenience
Three days a week is full-time here. That's not a typo.
