As a Transport Driver in San Antonio, Texas, you'll play a vital role in this dynamic logistics network, ensuring products reach distribution and manufacturing centers efficiently and safely.

Role Overview

The Transport Driver (Tractor Trailer) - CDL A Part Time position at PepsiCo in San Antonio, TX, offers flexible, part-time work for experienced drivers. This role involves driving a tractor-trailer truck for local regional deliveries within a 275-mile radius, primarily handling finished products or raw materials/supplies. It's no-touch freight, meaning you won't handle loading or unloading, and you'll be home daily. Ideal for those seeking work-life balance with rotating shifts and hours typically ranging from 0-29 per week based on availability. Preferred candidates bring 2+ years of CDL A experience. Onboarding occurs alongside full-time drivers for seamless integration.

Why This Role Stands Out
