Drive the Night, Skip the Traffic
While delivery vans handle the day shift, the massive movement of packages between regional sorting hubs happens entirely under the cover of darkness. We are seeking reliable night-owls for the role of Overnight Parcel Transfer Driver. Operating a commercial box truck or large cargo van, you will transport massive, consolidated bins of packages between logistics facilities. This role involves minimal customer interaction and is frequently "no-touch" or low-touch freight, relying on dock workers to load the vehicle.
The Night Shift Route
- Facility-to-Facility Hauling: Execute highly scheduled, repetitive nocturnal routes, driving between main processing centers and local delivery stations to stage the freight for the morning drivers.
- Nocturnal Driving Mastery: Safely pilot a large commercial vehicle on empty highways, relying on strong situational awareness and fatigue-management techniques.
- Strict Dispatch Adherence: The logistics network relies entirely on your punctuality. You must adhere to rigid overnight dispatch times to ensure the system doesn't back up.
The Overnight Advantage
Escape the stress of daytime traffic gridlock and customer complaints. You will drive the exact same loop every night, allowing you to master your route and enjoy a highly structured, low-stress driving environment. Enjoy competitive base pay heavily bolstered by premium overnight shift differentials.
Requirements
Must be at least 21 years old. A standard driver's license with extensive large-vehicle experience (or a Class B/C CDL, depending on truck size) is required. You must have an absolutely pristine driving record. Must be fully willing to work the graveyard shift (e.g., 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM). Background check and drug screen are required.
