Drive the Future of Transportation

We’re partnering with a cutting-edge autonomous vehicle company to hire a CDL A Vehicle Operator who will play a hands-on role in shaping the future of self-driving technology.

  • 🔍 Perform detailed pre-trip and post-trip inspections (DVIRs)
  • 📝 Provide clear, structured feedback to engineering teams on vehicle and system performance
  • 🔄 Assist with additional fleet or operational tasks as needed

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Work with state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle technology
  • Be part of a fast-growing, innovative company shaping the future of transportation

  • Opportunity to collaborate directly with engineers and tech teams

  • No serious traffic violations in the past 5 years

  • No DOT-recordable accidents in the past 10 years

Ideal Candidate

  • Safety-focused with strong attention to detail
  • Professional, dependable, and team-oriented
  • Comfortable following structured procedures and protocols
  • Strong communicator — able to clearly describe issues and observations
  • Interested in autonomous vehicle and driver-assist technology

  • 🚛 Semi-truck driving: ~10–20 hours every other week

  • Competitive hourly pay ($45/hr)
  • Work on real autonomous truck programs
