Expert Analysis

This role is a balanced opportunity for AZ drivers who prefer variety over long-haul routes. The high percentage of yard shunting (60%) reduces road stress but increases the need for precision maneuvering. The “hand bombing” requirement makes it a physically demanding role suited for those who prefer active work environments.

Location & Logistics Guide

Located in Toronto, the role focuses on the GTA’s dense retail and warehouse network. Drivers must navigate high-traffic corridors like the 401 and QEW. The “in person” nature of the job requires reliable commuting to the central yard for daily shunting and city-run dispatch.
