CDL A Driver

At Bulkmatic you are more than just a truck driver. You'll operate pneumatic equipment, manage relationships with customers and be empowered to make the right decisions for your deliveries—all while being part of a team that leads in the dry bulk shipping industry.

Schedule

In the Kansas City area, our drivers are expected to be home most nights, currently averaging 1-2 nights out every other week. Drivers in this area do primarily local work. When a driver goes out overnight, Bulkmatic provides a hotel room and a meal allowance. Some weekend work is required at this location.

Pay

Kansas City drivers are now averaging between $90,000 - $100,000 per year. We are offering a $3,000 bonus for new drivers at this location. Ask our recruiters about the weekly safety bonus.

About the Role

Being a driver for Bulkmatic is a more physical job than driving for many other companies. Two-thirds of your time will be spent driving, with the remainder dedicated to loading and unloading using pneumatic systems and interacting with customers. We provide extensive training on our safety procedures and pneumatic equipment. No prior pneumatic experience is required.
