3Rd Shift Amazon Relay Owner Operator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Part-time, W-2 — you commit to 1 or 2 round trips per week. Same rate, same trucks, same freight as our full-time drivers.

Location: Easton / Allentown, PA (Lehigh Valley) — routes dispatched from the Amazon ABE facility; trucks domiciled at our Easton yard

Pay: $24–$26/hour depending on experience, paid bi-weekly by direct deposit, plus performance/safety bonus opportunities

Schedule: 1 or 2 round trips per week. Each trip: drive out, rest overnight in the sleeper, drive back — about 14 hours of paid driving per trip, roughly a day and a half away from home. That's 14–28 paid hours per week depending on whether you run one trip or two.

Equipment: Late-model Amazon-branded sleeper tractors — assigned, maintained, and fueled through the program (fuel card provided); you drive, we handle the rest

Start date: Late August 2026 (paid onboarding and training); first routes September 2026

About Energico Freight

Energico Freight LLC is a new Amazon Freight Partner launching out of the Lehigh Valley in September 2026. We run dedicated, consistent Amazon linehaul freight — no load boards, no waiting on brokers, no touch freight. This is our part-time role: commit to 1 or 2 round trips a week and keep the rest of your week. As a founding driver you'll help set the culture of a safety-first company that treats drivers like professionals.

Please read before applying

• This is a Solo-2 sleeper position operating under Amazon Relay. Each trip is one there-and-back run: you drive out, take your overnight rest in the sleeper, and drive home the next day. You work about 14 hours per trip; you're away from home about a day and a half.
• This is not a home-daily position. Amazon runs 24/7, so trips can include nights and weekends — we'll set your exact recurring slot(s) up front so you know your schedule.
• This is scheduled work, not on-call: you run the same recurring trip slot(s) every week.

What you'll do

• Run 1 or 2 dedicated round trips per week out of the Amazon ABE (Allentown) facility — tell us in the interview whether you want one or two and we'll build your recurring schedule around it
• 100% no-touch, drop-and-hook trailer freight between Amazon facilities
• Use Amazon's Relay app for dispatch and navigation, electronic logs (ELD) for hours of service, and in-cab Netradyne safety technology
• Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections and keep your equipment road-ready (maintenance is handled through the Amazon program)
• Represent Energico professionally at Amazon facilities and on the road

Why you'll love it

• Same rate, same trucks as full-time — no part-timer discount on pay or equipment
• Predictable — contracted Amazon route blocks mean your trip runs every week, year-round, scheduled in advance
• 401(k) retirement plan through ADP
• Paid time off — PTO accrues on every hour you work
• Room to grow — extra trips available most weeks, with a clear path to full-time and founding-driver seniority in a fleet planned to grow to 15–20 trucks
• A fit for real lives — ideal for semi-retired drivers, drivers supplementing another job or business, or anyone who wants to stay in the seat without a full weekly rotation

Requirements

• Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A)
• At least 21 years of age (federal requirement for interstate driving)
• Minimum 6 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience
• Live within about 45 minutes of the Easton/Allentown area
• Current DOT medical certificate (or ability to pass a DOT physical)
• Must pass a pre-employment DOT drug screen, FMCSA Clearinghouse query, background check, and motor vehicle record review
• Clean safety record — no DUI/DWI, license suspensions, or serious moving violations within the review period
• Comfortable with multi-day sleeper routes and overnight driving
• Able to commit to the same recurring trip slot(s) each week
• Able to speak, read, and write English (DOT requirement for traffic signs, official inquiries, and records)
• Comfortable using smartphone apps, GPS, and in-cab technology
• Legally authorized to work in the United States (I-9 verification)

We'll respond within one business day. The hiring process includes an application, background check and drug screen initiated through Amazon Relay, driver qualification file setup, and paid onboarding/training before launch.
