The job requires handling horses, navigating rugged terrain, and managing time-sensitive deliveries, sometimes with minimal support along the way.

Familiarity with basic saddlery, map reading, and sometimes firearm handling are beneficial technical assets. Resilience, quick decision-making, and dependability are essential soft skills for handling the demanding nature of the route and unpredictable conditions. These competencies are crucial for safely and efficiently delivering important messages across long distances in challenging environments.

Job description

Midnight Pony Express (MPE), an Amazon Freight Partner based in Las Vegas, is hiring full-time and part-time Class A CDL drivers for dedicated Amazon freight routes.

This position is built for professional drivers who want steady work, home-next-day routes, no-touch freight, reliable dispatch support, and a company that values safety, professionalism, and respect. This is a structured Amazon freight operation โ€” not a random OTR job.

MPE is a local transportation company with the support and structure of Amazonโ€™s official freight network. To enhance our MPE driversโ€™ onboarding and sustained experience, our commitment to driver safety & compliance is backed by our use of J. J. Kellerยฎ Professional Services. Drivers operate Amazon-branded equipment while working directly for Midnight Pony Express.

Why Drivers Apply to MPE

Midnight Pony Express carries forward the spirit of the historic Pony Express riders who connected East and West in the early 1860s through discipline, courage, route awareness, trusted handoffs, and the promise to deliver on time.

At MPE, that legacy defines our modern safety culture. Our CDL-A professional drivers bring mission-minded discipline to Amazon freight by preparing every run, communicating clearly, protecting the tractor, trailer, equipment, and load, respecting every trailer handoff, and delivering safe, secure, professional, and on-time service every run.

Like the original Pony Express riders, MPE drivers understand that urgency only matters when the mission is completed the right way โ€” safely, reliably, on time, and with pride.
