About This Role

As a CDL-A Delivery Driver with McLane, you'll handle the full scope of regional delivery operations—from performing pre-trip safety inspections and verifying documentation to navigating routes and physically unloading cargo at customer locations.

This dedicated route gets you home daily, though you'll need flexibility for occasional overnight loads. The schedule varies, keeping work dynamic. You're a good fit if you prioritize safety above all else, take pride in reliability, and can adapt to changing conditions on the road and at delivery sites. McLane rewards this commitment with competitive compensation ranging from $78,000 to $95,000 annually, plus up to a $10,000 sign-on bonus. Day-one benefits include comprehensive medical coverage, and you'll build toward a 401(k) with profit sharing after 90 days—rare in this industry.
