Company description

Georgia Peach Truck delivers the most satisfying fruit truck experience in the whole world!  Whether we are on the road along the East Coast or popping up at farmers markets in Atlanta, we bring folks together for the freshest seasonal fruit from our great Peach State.

Job description

Georgia Peach Truck is hiring traveling drivers for 26' refrigerated box trucks and full-sized passenger vans to staff our Summer Road Trip for 2025.

We prefer applicants with a Class A or Class B CDL and pallet jack experience, but non-CDL applicants who can safely drive and maintain a non-CDL 26’ refrigerated box truck or a full-sized passenger van will receive consideration.

As a driver on our Summer Road Trip, you will participate in distributing world famous Georgia peaches and pecans to thousands of customers along the East Coast.  Road trip drivers shuttle our products and crew members from one location to another and assist the crew members with setup, fulfillment, and breakdown duties at each location on the schedule.  From early June through late July, a typical day on the road includes three stops at outdoor locations, and some weeks will require working six days of scheduled stops plus a seventh day of travel.  Approximately eight weeks on the road will be mentally and physically demanding in hot and occasionally wet summer weather.  The work can be equally challenging and rewarding, so the ideal applicant will be a team-oriented individual who is comfortable in a fast-paced and time-sensitive environment that varies daily.

These are traveling jobs that begin and end in Atlanta, Georgia, with shared lodging in hotel rooms, which are reserved and paid for by Georgia Peach Truck. 

Here are some of the responsibilities of a Summer Road Trip Driver:

• Drive and maintain a 26’ refrigerated box truck or full-sized passenger van
• Navigate efficiently from one location to another
• Follow a time-sensitive schedule with punctuality
• Maintain the safety of equipment, products, crew members, and customers
• Assist crew members with setup and breakdown at each stop on the road trip
• Fulfill pre-order pickups and walkup sales
• Inform customers how to handle peaches
• Answer questions about peaches and Georgia Peach Truck
• Help customers load boxes of peaches into their vehicles
  
  

Here are the preferred qualifications for a Summer Road Trip Driver:

• 25 years of age or older due to insurance requirements
• A valid CDL and current medical certificate
• Box truck experience, including work with pallet jacks, liftgates, loading docks
• Strong navigational skills and proficiency with mapping tools
• Commitment to complete approximately eight weeks on the road
• Access to a fully functioning smartphone with internet connection
• Ability to lift 25 to 50 pounds repeatedly throughout a workday
• A strong work ethic, positive attitude, and team orientation
• Communication skills to receive, give, and accomplish work instructions
• Flexibility to work in a dynamic work environment that changes daily
  
  

We will consider non-CDL applicants who can safely drive and maintain a non-CDL 26' refrigerated box truck or a full-sized passenger van.

Paid training will begin in Atlanta, Georgia during the first week of June, and the road trip ends during the last week of July.

Compensation begins at $1200 per week for a non-CDL driver and $1500 per week for a CDL driver.

Each driver will additionally receive a per diem of $40 per day for meals and incidental expenses.

These are traveling jobs that begin and end in Atlanta, Georgia, with shared lodging in hotel rooms, which are reserved and paid for by Georgia Peach Truck.
