Drayage Driver information

What is a drayage driver?

A Drayage Driver transports freight over short distances, typically between ports, rail yards, and warehouses. They play a crucial role in the supply chain by moving cargo containers quickly and efficiently. Drayage drivers often operate semi-trucks and must comply with regulations regarding weight limits, hours of service, and cargo security. This job requires a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and knowledge of local routes and logistics procedures. Many drayage drivers work within a specific region, making it a good option for those who prefer shorter hauls over long-distance trucking.

What does a drayage driver do?

A typical day for a Drayage Driver involves picking up cargo containers from ports or rail yards and delivering them to local warehouses, distribution centers, or customers, often making multiple short-haul trips within a metropolitan area. Responsibilities include conducting pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, managing paperwork or digital records for shipments, and ensuring cargo is safely secured and promptly delivered. Drayage Drivers frequently communicate with dispatchers, port officials, and warehouse staff to coordinate pickup and drop-off schedules. This role can be fast-paced due to tight delivery windows or port schedules, but it offers a routine allowing most drivers to return home daily rather than spending extended periods on the road.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a drayage driver?

To thrive as a Drayage Driver, you need a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL), safe driving skills, and knowledge of local and regional routes, especially within port and rail yard environments. Familiarity with electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS navigation systems, and compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations is typically required. Strong time management, communication skills, and reliability are standout soft skills in this fast-paced role. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring the safe, timely, and efficient transport of cargo containers between ports, terminals, and warehouses.

Job description

Our client, a long history intermodal provider, is seeking an on-site Owner Operator Recruiter based at their top-performing terminal in the Savannah, GA / Port Wentworth, GA area.


With over 50 years of logistics innovation providing market-leading global supply chain, drayage, and warehousing solutions. In this role, you will take ownership of driver capacity growth for the owner-operator fleet, focusing primarily on scaling our Savannah operations before assisting other regional terminals.


Responsibilities:

  • Lead Local Recruiting: Drive active, high-volume sourcing and enrollment of owner-operators specifically for the critical Savannah market.
  • Support Network Capacity: Scale and fill Savannah’s capacity pipeline to maximum targets, subsequently pivoting to support driver recruitment across other domestic terminal networks as needed.
  • Manage Candidate Experience: Qualify drivers efficiently through their regional recruitment pipelines to ensure high retention and rapid onboarding.


Qualifications:

  • Industry Experience: Proven track record and background directly hiring Owner-Operators (O/O) in a logistics, intermodal, or drayage environment.
  • Geographic Knowledge: Familiarity with regional port operations and drayage driver dynamics in the Southeast is highly preferred.
  • Proactive Drive: Ability to establish strong driver networks locally without relying exclusively on remote or hands-off recruiting models.


Compensation & Benefits:

  • $80,000 Base Salary
  • Incentive Plan: Additional uncapped bonus/commission structure (transitioning to a highly lucrative monthly payout plan).
  • Relocation: Please note that no relocation assistance is provided; this position is open to local candidates or self-relocation only.


If this sounds like the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your resume to Jon Fricke at jfricke@highroadpartnersinc.com, please include Position ID # 26184 in subject line.
