TA Dedicated is hiring professional CDL-A truck drivers to join our dedicated division for local port and container work. Drivers will haul 40-foot containers, primarily loaded with bananas from the Port of Wilmington to our local yard or to the Chiquita distribution center. This is a home daily CDL-A position operating primarily within a 15-mile radius of the port, with drivers shuttling loads between the port, yard, and distribution center. This dedicated lane offers no touch freight and consistent local work, with start times typically between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM. No previous port or container experience is necessary—we’ll provide the support and instruction needed to get you familiar with the account and port operations.
