About the role

Forget the long hauls and the weeks away from home. At PODS, we offer the stability of a national brand with the lifestyle of a local career. Our drivers are more than just delivery experts—they are the face of our brand. You aren't just hauling freight; you're helping people navigate some of the biggest transitions of their lives.

Responsibilities

  • Safely operate a commercial truck equipped with our unique lift mechanism to load and unload containers in residential and business settings.
  • Complete local deliveries and pickups while following DOT, OSHA, and company safety standards.
  • Perform daily pre- and post-trip inspections to keep your rig and yourself safe and keep truck cab and equipment clean and inspection-ready.
  • Use company-provided handheld devices for navigation, delivery confirmation, and communication.
  • Act as our brand ambassador. You'll answer questions, solve placement puzzles, and ensure every container is clean and presentable.
  • Help with storage center functions, forklift operation, and light container maintenance to keep the operation humming.

Requirements

  • A valid CDL license and high school diploma (or equivalent).
  • You must also be at least 21 years old and possess (or be able to obtain) a DOT Medical Card.
  • You have a minimum of 3 months of professional driving experience.
  • You have a safety-first "zero-incident" mindset with no moving violations in the past three years.
  • You have a strong sense of spatial relations—you can park a vehicle and negotiate tight residential spaces with ease.
  • You are comfortable climbing in and out of the cab (using three points of contact), operating a forklift, and occasionally lifting up to 50 lbs. or applying up to 40 lbs. of pressure for equipment operation.
  • You are comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • You understand customer needs and make service excellence a priority.
  • You possess strong basic math skills and can read, write and communicate clearly in English.
