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.

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 pneumatic experience required.
• No Hazmat endorsement required (though drivers must be willing to obtain HM126 certification).

Schedule

This position involves a combination of local and regional work. Drivers should expect to be out an average of 1-2 nights per week and may occasionally work weekends.

Pay

Drivers at our Winston Salem Terminal currently average between $85,000 and $95,000 per year, with weekly pay. A $3,000 bonus is available for new hires in Winston Salem. Drivers can also earn extra cash through the Weekly Pay Incentive Safety program.
