Delivery Driver - Overnight - Class A CDL - Short-Haul Exemption

Transfer DriverEvery branch that opens ready to serve customers in the morning is ready because of a run that happened in the dark. When a contractor walks into a branch at 7 a.m. and the material they need is on the shelf, it is because a transfer driver moved it there overnight. That is not a small thing. That is the whole thing.At Shepherd, transfer drivers are the connective tissue of the branch network. While the rest of the company sleeps, you keep material moving between our locations so every branch starts the day stocked, staged, and ready to keep its promises. You carry Shepherd's reliability from one building to the next on every run.Work Shift and Hours:Monday - Friday, 7:00pm - 4:00amCompensation Details:The maximum expected pay rate for this position is $38.00 per hour.Additional Information:Steel toed boots required.CDL Class A required and must pass DOT medical exam.Key Outcomes - Organized by what matters, not just what you do.Transfer & TransportationOperate transfer trucks — tractor-trailer and box/flatbed (manual and automatic transmission) — on assigned inter-branch routes across the Shepherd networkMove electrical materials accurately and on time between Shepherd branches and distribution pointsVerify transfer manifests and load accuracy before departure and document any discrepancies immediatelyCommunicate proactively with dispatch and receiving branches if a transfer is at risk of delayVehicle Operation & SafetyComplete thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections every shift — no shortcutsOperate equipment safely and in full compliance with DOT regulations and Shepherd safety standardsReport mechanical issues, equipment needs, or safety concerns to leadership without delayMaintain current CDL Class A license, DOT certification, and medical certification at all timesWarehouse & Load SupportAssist with loading and unloading, including wrapping pallets and staging freight for transferStage inbound material at the receiving branch so the morning crew can start readyWork with warehouse teams on both ends to ensure transfer loads are built and verified correctly before they leave the buildingNetwork CoordinationCoordinate with dispatch and receiving-branch personnel professionally at every stop — your handoff is their morningCommunicate ETAs, delays, and load status clearly and on timeRepresent Shepherd professionally at any customer or job-site stops your route includesFlag discrepancies, feedback, or concerns to your Manager the same shift they occurWhat Success Looks Like - After 90 days, you and your Manager should both be able to point to these markers:Transfer runs are completed on time and loads arrive complete and correct — recurring errors or missed stops are rarePre-trip and post-trip inspections are completed every shift without promptingDiscrepancies are documented and communicated the shift they occur — not discovered by the morning crewReceiving branches consistently open stocked and staged because your runs land on timeVehicle is returned in the condition it left — fueled, clean, and ready for the next runWarehouse teams on both ends trust that loads you help build or stage are right before they moveWho Thrives Here - This role is a strong fit if:You take safety seriously — every pre-trip, every run, not just when someone is watchingYou work well independently overnight and hold your standards without a supervisor over your shoulderYou communicate problems early, not after they become the morning crew's problemYou take pride in how you represent the company at every branch and every stopYou are reliable — the network knows they can count on your run to landYou treat every branch you deliver to as part of your teamYou understand that a late or short transfer is not just a logistics problem — it is a branch that opens unable to keep its promiseQualifications & RequirementsCDL Class A license requiredCurrent DOT and Medical Certification cards requiredMinimum 3 years of driving experience with a clean motor vehicle recordAbility to operate tractor-trailer with manual transmissionKnowledge of air brake systemsComfortable working overnight/night-shift hours and driving independently with minimal supervisionAbility to lift up to 80 lbs. regularly and perform the physical requirements of the roleHigh school diploma or equivalent preferredForklift certification preferred or ability to obtain through onsite trainingAvailable for schedule adjustments as business needs requireMust pass pre-employment background check and drug screeningStrong verbal communication skills — you relay information clearly and on timeFamiliarity with the region and inter-branch routes preferredWhy Join Shepherd Electric SupplyCompetitive hourly rate with opportunity for growthMedical, dental, and life insurancePrescription drug coveragePaid vacation and personal time401(k) with employer matchStable organization with over 130 years of industry leadershipA culture where reliability is noticed, ownership is rewarded, and people come firstA company scaling into new markets — with real paths to grow with itEqual Opportunity EmployerShepherd Electric Supply is an equal opportunity employer.
