Mako Waves Distribution is a rapidly growing trucking company looking for motivated and professional Class A CDL drivers for local and regional routes! We are partnered to haul freight exclusively for Amazon, allowing us to provide the benefits of a large business while embodying the culture of a small one. Amazon provides state of the art technology, equipment, logistics software, and support to ensure our drivers are the best equipped and prepared out there on the road. Currently we are hiring both day cab local routes and sleeper cabs for regional routes. Local trips begin and end at our yard each day, while regional drivers have sleeper cabs and drive to their location, sleep overnight to reset in the cab, and then return to the yard. Wages start at $24 or $25 dollars per hour depending on experience. Previous Amazon Freight Partner and Tom Team experience is a plus!

Local

Our yard is based in San Bernardino, CA and will begin and end at our yard so drivers will be home after each shift. All local and regional loads are Drop and Hook (subject to change at anytime) and local drivers work 3 days per week with possibility of a 4th day depending on company needs. Local Drivers earn between $52,000 - $65,000 per year depending on the number of shifts worked. Our partnership with Amazon provides steady reliable work and operations are expanded during the peak months of November - December to allow drivers more opportunity for a fourth day. Drivers are scheduled to work three (3) 13 hour shifts per week Sunday-Saturday, with opportunities for overtime (overtime is after 40 worked hours) when Mako Waves operates an extra day during the Amazon peak season of November - December.

Sign-on bonus: New Full Time drivers hired between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, and who remain employed for at least 90 days will be eligible for a $1,000 sign-on bonus.
