Job Description

$2,500 SIGN-ON BONUS AVAILABLE

Build a career that keeps you close to home. Oakhurst Dairy is adding a tractor-trailer driver to our local route sales delivery team. This opportunity is an excellent fit for a motivated, hardworking professional who enjoys working independently, values variety throughout the day, and takes pride in dependable service.

This position features a brand-new four-day workweek rotation with early-morning start times, two consecutive days off, and a rotating schedule that includes weekends off. Our Portland-based management team coordinates driver schedules, routes, and process improvements locally, working to build schedules that support both the operation and our team members.

Oakhurst Dairy, a subsidiary of Dairy Farmers of America, combines the strength of a farmer-owned parent company with more than a century of local history and community ties. Our compensation, paid time off, benefits, bonuses, equipment, and local support make this an opportunity worth a closer look.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Four-day workweek with a new rotation designed around two consecutive days off and a weekends-off rotation.
• Local daily routes that depart from and return to the Portland work location each day.
• Early-morning start times with flexibility generally between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., depending on the route and schedule.
• Driver-friendly delivery format with most deliveries made at loading docks, very little liftgate work, and no ramps.
• Competitive compensation structured to reflect the work and shift.
• Exceptional first-year paid time off including 3 1/2 weeks of vacation, plus paid holidays and sick time.
• $2,500 sign-on bonus paid after successful completion of six months of employment.
• Annual safety bonus of up to $1,000 for drivers who operate safely.
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and a 401(k) with company matching contribution.
• Company-owned equipment and on-site support with our own fleet maintenance facility and staff in Portland.
• A continually upgraded tractor fleet with most tractors equipped with automatic transmissions.
• Local leadership and coordination for driver schedules, route organization, and process improvement.
• A company with deep roots backed by strong community ties and a farmer-owned parent company.

Why Drivers Choose Oakhurst

You will be joining a collaborative team that works together to get the job done.
