CDL-A Transport Driver – Chicopee, MA

We’re hiring a dependable CDL-A Transport Driver to run heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, recovery trucks, and tractor-trailer combinations (26,000+ GVWR). This is a hands-on driving role where you’ll be on the road, working closely with dispatch, and handling real-world transport and recovery work—not just highway miles.

This position is full-time Monday–Friday with a rotating on-call weekend schedule . If you’re someone who doesn’t mind getting called when work needs to get done, there’s strong earning potential here.

Pay & Earnings

• $28–$35/hour base pay
• $49/hour premium rate (5PM–7AM Monday–Friday + all weekend hours)
• Up to $120,000/year potential earnings

What You’ll Do

• Operate heavy-duty wreckers, rollbacks, and tractor-trailer units safely
• Complete scheduled pickups and deliveries
• Perform DOT pre-trip and post-trip inspections
• Maintain logs, trip sheets, and required documentation
• Communicate with dispatch to coordinate daily work
• Navigate routes using GPS, maps, and written/oral instructions
• Handle customer interactions professionally when needed
• Follow all DOT rules, safety procedures, and traffic laws
• Complete Tow Book and job documentation accurately
• Keep assigned equipment clean and in working order
• Report vehicle or equipment issues immediately

What We’re Looking For

• Valid CDL-A license
• Clean driving record + current DOT medical card
• No automatic transmission restriction
• 2+ years of commercial driving experience
• Hazmat, tanker, and doubles/triples endorsements strongly preferred
• Comfortable operating heavy-duty vehicles and equipment
• Strong communication skills and ability to work with dispatch
• Willingness to work weekends, holidays, and on-call shifts

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• Life and Disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off + holidays

Why This Role

This isn’t a “watch the clock” driving job. It’s steady work with strong earning potential for drivers who can handle responsibility, think on their feet, and take pride in running heavy equipment the right way.

If you’re looking for consistent hours, strong pay, and real equipment work—not just point A to B driving—this is worth a look.
