You will transport freight on schedule across Pennsylvania, New York (Staten Island) and New Jersey, returning to the distribution center, following assigned routes, planning fuel and rest stops sensibly, and communicating proactively with your fleet manager when weather, traffic, or a customer delay puts a delivery window at risk.

Drivers load and unload trailers using pallet jacks. This is physical work and drivers must be able to pull 75 lbs.
