Part-time, W-2 — you commit to 1 or 2 round trips per week. Same rate, same trucks, same freight as our full-time drivers.
Location: Easton / Allentown, PA (Lehigh Valley) — routes dispatched from the Amazon ABE facility; trucks domiciled at our Easton yard
Pay: $24–$26/hour depending on experience, paid bi-weekly by direct deposit, plus performance/safety bonus opportunities
Schedule: 1 or 2 round trips per week. Each trip: drive out, rest overnight in the sleeper, drive back — about 14 hours of paid driving per trip, roughly a day and a half away from home. That's 14–28 paid hours per week depending on whether you run one trip or two.
Equipment: Late-model Amazon-branded sleeper tractors — assigned, maintained, and fueled through the program (fuel card provided); you drive, we handle the rest
Start date: Late August 2026 (paid onboarding and training); first routes September 2026
About Energico Freight
Energico Freight LLC is a new Amazon Freight Partner launching out of the Lehigh Valley in September 2026. We run dedicated, consistent Amazon linehaul freight — no load boards, no waiting on brokers, no touch freight. This is our part-time role: commit to 1 or 2 round trips a week and keep the rest of your week. As a founding driver you'll help set the culture of a safety-first company that treats drivers like professionals.
Please read before applying
- This is a Solo-2 sleeper position operating under Amazon Relay. Each trip is one there-and-back run: you drive out, take your overnight rest in the sleeper, and drive home the next day. You work about 14 hours per trip; you're away from home about a day and a half.
- This is not a home-daily position. Amazon runs 24/7, so trips can include nights and weekends — we'll set your exact recurring slot(s) up front so you know your schedule.
- This is scheduled work, not on-call: you run the same recurring trip slot(s) every week.
What you'll do
- Run 1 or 2 dedicated round trips per week out of the Amazon ABE (Allentown) facility — tell us in the interview whether you want one or two and we'll build your recurring schedule around it
- 100% no-touch, drop-and-hook trailer freight between Amazon facilities
- Use Amazon's Relay app for dispatch and navigation, electronic logs (ELD) for hours of service, and in-cab Netradyne safety technology
- Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections and keep your equipment road-ready (maintenance is handled through the Amazon program)
- Represent Energico professionally at Amazon facilities and on the road
Why you'll love it
- Same rate, same trucks as full-time — no part-timer discount on pay or equipment
- Predictable — contracted Amazon route blocks mean your trip runs every week, year-round, scheduled in advance
- 401(k) retirement plan through ADP
- Paid time off — PTO accrues on every hour you work
- Room to grow — extra trips available most weeks, with a clear path to full-time and founding-driver seniority in a fleet planned to grow to 15–20 trucks
- A fit for real lives — ideal for semi-retired drivers, drivers supplementing another job or business, or anyone who wants to stay in the seat without a full weekly rotation
Requirements
- Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A)
- At least 21 years of age (federal requirement for interstate driving)
- Minimum 6 months of verifiable CDL-A driving experience
- Live within about 45 minutes of the Easton/Allentown area
- Current DOT medical certificate (or ability to pass a DOT physical)

- Comfortable with multi-day sleeper routes and overnight driving
- Able to commit to the same recurring trip slot(s) each week
- Able to speak, read, and write English (DOT requirement for traffic signs, official inquiries, and records)
- Comfortable using smartphone apps, GPS, and in-cab technology
- Legally authorized to work in the United States (I-9 verification)
We'll respond within one business day. The hiring process includes an application, background check and drug screen initiated through Amazon Relay, driver qualification file setup, and paid onboarding/training before launch.
