Box Truck Driver Staffing FAQ

Box truck drivers operating vehicles with a GVWR over 26,000 lbs need a Class B CDL. For smaller box trucks under that threshold, no CDL is required. Our pool includes both CDL and non-CDL box truck drivers to match your specific vehicle requirements.

Yes, multi-stop route management is a core skill for our box truck drivers. Most have experience running 10-25 stop routes, using route optimization software, and managing delivery windows. Many have worked for major carriers like FedEx, UPS, or Amazon DSP.

Most of our box truck drivers are experienced with liftgate operation, pallet jack use, and hand-unloading when required. We will match the physical requirements of your job with drivers who are willing and able to perform those tasks.

Box truck drivers in our network typically earn $18-$28 per hour depending on the market, route complexity, and whether the position involves customer-facing delivery. Urban markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago tend to be at the higher end of this range.

Absolutely. E-commerce peaks (Prime Day, Black Friday, holiday season) are our busiest periods for box truck staffing. We recommend submitting your seasonal staffing request at least 4-6 weeks before your peak to ensure adequate driver availability.
