Handle the Heavyweights of Auto Repair
LKQ Corporation is the leading provider of alternative and specialty parts to repair automobiles. When collision centers and major repair shops need an entire engine block, a replacement transmission, or a massive truck bumper, standard transit vans cannot do the job. We are seeking physically elite, commercially experienced professionals for the role of Heavy Duty Auto Parts Box Truck Driver. You will operate a 16-to-24-foot straight truck equipped with a hydraulic liftgate to transport massive, palletized automotive freight. This role pays a premium for your commercial driving skills and sheer physical coordination.
Box Truck Operations
- Heavy Freight Execution: Utilize hydraulic liftgates, electric pallet jacks, and heavy-duty engine hoists to safely load and unload massive automotive components (engines, axles, hoods) weighing hundreds of pounds.
- Commercial Box Truck Operation: Safely drive a large commercial straight truck through congested city streets and tight collision-center alleyways, executing precise backing maneuvers.
- Collision Shop Logistics: Deliver large body panels and structural items securely to auto-body repair shops, ensuring absolutely zero cosmetic damage occurs during the transport process.
The Heavy Freight Payoff
Because this role requires specialized physical effort, liftgate operation, and large vehicle management, it offers a significantly higher starting wage than standard small-parts delivery. You will receive comprehensive safety training, high-quality protective gear, robust medical benefits, and daytime-only hours.
Requirements
Must be at least 21 years old. A valid driver's license with extensive, verifiable experience driving box trucks is required (a CDL Class B or A is highly preferred). You must possess a DOT medical card. Exceptional physical strength and the ability to maneuver 100+ lb pallets via pallet jack are mandatory. Pristine driving record required.
