Command the Commercial Fleet
FedEx Ground relies on elite Independent Service Providers (ISPs) to execute bulk commercial deliveries daily. We are actively seeking experienced commercial operators for the role of FedEx Ground Box Truck Driver. In this position, you will bypass small residential cargo vans to take the wheel of a massive 16-to-26-foot commercial straight truck. This vehicle allows you to transport significantly higher volumes of palletized freight, focusing on heavy commercial, industrial, and B2B deliveries. If you have the spatial awareness to navigate city streets in a large box truck and the hustle to clear massive bulk stops, this is your ultimate logistics career.
Box Truck Operations
- Commercial Driving Mastery: Safely navigate a massive box truck through tight industrial parks, complex alleyways, and congested commercial loading docks. Master the use of oversized mirrors and hydraulic liftgates.
- High-Volume Freight Execution: Utilize manual and electric pallet jacks to maneuver heavy, palletized freight in and out of your cargo bay. You will systematically load and retrieve packages weighing up to 150 lbs.
- DOT Compliance: As a commercial box truck operator, you are strictly bound by Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. You will conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip safety inspections and manage your digital Hours of Service (HOS).
The Box Truck Advantage
Because box trucks can carry exponentially more payload than standard transit vans, drivers handling bulk routes are frequently compensated at a premium rate. Enjoy highly competitive weekly pay, excellent job security, and the physical satisfaction of executing high-level commercial logistics.
Requirements
Must be at least 21 years old. You need a valid U.S. driver's license with a pristine driving record. While a CDL is not strictly required for non-airbrake box trucks, you must pass a DOT physical and hold a valid DOT medical card. Exceptional physical stamina and liftgate experience are mandatory.
