  • Mentor program with formal evaluation milestones and recognition for top performers.
  • Options to transfer to dedicated or regional lanes within approximately nine months, subject to performance and business needs.
  • Rider and pet policy available after six months of service, subject to company policy.

Primary responsibilities
