    Description

    CDL-A Shuttle Driver — Automotive Parts Logistics

    Join E&E Manufacturing as the night-shift pro who keeps production humming. From the plant to our off-site warehouse and back again, you’ll move trailers, materials, and finished parts safely and on time.

    Your schedule

    Sunday–Thursday, 11:00 PM – 7:30 AM

    A night in the life

    You clock in, review delivery instructions, and map your first shuttle. You perform a thorough pre-trip inspection, confirm load securement, and roll out—staying within all route, size, and weight limits. Back at the dock, you slide into tight spaces with confidence, swap trailers, and support our Shipping/Receiving team with forklift and Hi-Lo moves when needed. As the lights come up, your logs are accurate, equipment is squared away, and production has what it needs for the day shift.
