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.

• 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.
