Open Roads & Steady Pay with Amazon Freight
Role Overview
Hit the open road as a Line Haul Driver for Amazon Freight Partner. In this overnight role, you will haul 53' trailers between Amazon facilities on dedicated regional routes.

Enjoy the freedom of the highway, cooler night temperatures, and reduced traffic while earning a consistent paycheck.
What You'll Do
- Dedicated Routes: Drive a Day Cab tractor on scheduled nightly runs, returning home after most shifts.
- Drop & Hook Efficiency: Simply drop your loaded trailer at the destination and hook up a new one—no manual loading or unloading required.
- Night Driving: Benefit from the peace of the night shift: less traffic, fewer delays, and a smoother drive.
- Safety First: Maintain electronic logs and perform thorough safety checks on your state-of-the-art rig.
Why Drive for Amazon Freight?
