CDL Driver Job Posting

Drive Your Career Forward With an Industry Leader

Forget the long hauls and the weeks away from home. At PODS, we offer the stability of a national brand with the lifestyle of a local career.

Our drivers are more than just delivery experts—they are the face of our brand. You aren't just hauling freight; you’re helping people navigate some of the biggest transitions of their lives.

As a CDL Driver, you’ll safely deliver and pick up PODS containers, interact directly with customers, and ensure every delivery is completed professionally, efficiently, and incident-free. If you take pride in your driving, love interacting with customers, and want a career that gets you home every night, you belong behind the wheel at PODS.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Safely operate a commercial truck equipped with our unique lift mechanism to load and unload containers in residential and business settings.
  • Complete local deliveries and pickups while following DOT, OSHA, and company safety standards.
  • Perform daily pre- and post-trip inspections to keep your rig—and yourself—safe and keep truck cab and equipment clean and inspection-ready.
  • Use company-provided handheld devices for navigation, delivery confirmation, and communication.
  • Act as our brand ambassador. You’ll answer questions, solve placement puzzles, and ensure every container is clean and presentable.
  • When you aren't on the road, you'll help with storage center functions, forklift operation, and light container maintenance to keep the operation humming.
 

What You Bring (Qualifications)

  • The Credentials: A valid CDL license and high school diploma (or equivalent) are required. You must also be at least 21 years old and possess (or be able to obtain) a DOT Medical Card.
  • Experience: You bring a minimum of 3 months of professional driving experience.
  • A Clean Slate: You have a safety-first “zero-incident” mindset with no moving violations in the past three years.
  • Spatial Mastery: You have a strong sense of spatial relations—you can park a vehicle and negotiate tight residential spaces with ease.
  • Physical Stamina: You’re comfortable climbing in and out of the cab (using three points of contact), operating a forklift, and occasionally lifting up to 50 lbs. or applying up to 40 lbs. of pressure for equipment operation. You also can work outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Customer Focused: You understand customer needs and make service excellence a priority.
  • Communication & Logic: You possess strong basic math skills and can read, write and communicate clearly in English.
 

Why You’ll Love Working at PODS

  • Home Daily: No over-the-road (OTR) requirements. You stay within your local territory.
  • A Solid Schedule: You’ll have one scheduled day off during the week, plus every Sunday.
  • Safety-First Culture: Your well-being always comes first.

·         Full Benefits: Competitive pay, 401(k) with match, paid time off, and comprehensive health insurance. We've got you covered with a boot voucher and company uniforms.

 

Compensation & Perks

  • Base Pay: $27.50 - $28.50/hour
  • Overtime: Regular opportunities for OT to boost your take-home pay.
  • Bonuses: Eligible for performance-based incentives.
  • Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and Employee Assistance Programs.
