Drive the Night, Restock the Hubs
To ensure retail stores have the exact parts customers need when they open their doors in the morning, the supply chain must move overnight. Carquest Auto Parts relies on dedicated professionals for the role of Regional Parts Transfer Driver. Operating a commercial box truck or large transit van strictly during the graveyard shift, you will transport massive, consolidated bins of auto parts from regional Distribution Centers directly to local retail store hubs. This role involves zero retail customer interaction and is focused entirely on safe, nocturnal highway logistics.
The Night Shift Route
- Facility-to-Facility Hauling: Execute highly scheduled, repetitive nocturnal routes, driving between main warehouse processing centers and local Carquest/Advance delivery stations to stage the inventory for the morning rush.
- Nocturnal Driving Mastery: Safely pilot a commercial vehicle on empty highways, relying on strong situational awareness and fatigue-management techniques.
- Key-Drop Security: You will frequently be provided with security keys or alarm codes to access closed, dark retail stores, dropping off secure totes of expensive auto parts completely independently.
- Strict Dispatch Adherence: The logistics network relies entirely on your punctuality. You must adhere to rigid overnight dispatch times to ensure the store inventory system updates perfectly before dawn.
The Overnight Advantage
Escape the stress of daytime traffic gridlock and mechanic shop congestion. You will drive the exact same loop every night, allowing you to master your route and enjoy a highly structured, low-stress driving environment. Enjoy competitive base pay heavily bolstered by premium overnight shift differentials.
Requirements
Must be at least 21 years old. A standard driver's license with extensive large-vehicle experience is required (a DOT medical card is usually mandatory). You must have an absolutely pristine driving record. Must be fully willing and physically capable of working the graveyard shift (e.g., 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM) completely independently. Background check and drug screen are required.
