CDL A Nationwide Swing Driver (Travel Required)
Remote | Company-Paid Travel | Full-Time
Royal Oak Recycling is a full-service recycler and broker with global reach. While market fluctuations have impacted many smaller recyclers, Royal Oak Recycling continues to grow through acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and nationwide expansion. Today, we process more than 55,000 tons of recyclable material each month across the United States and Canada.
We are seeking an experienced, adaptable CDL A Swing Driver to support operations throughout our service area. This is a travel-based position designed for professional drivers who can quickly adapt to new locations, equipment, and customer operations while maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
Position Overview
The CDL A Swing Driver serves as a nationwide operational support driver, filling in wherever additional assistance is needed. This is not a dedicated route position. Assignments vary based on business needs, staffing shortages, storm response, vacations, new business startups, and other operational demands.
Travel Requirements

Assignments may last from several days to multiple weeks or longer, depending on business demands, storm response efforts, staffing needs, or other operational requirements. Drivers should be prepared to remain deployed until support is no longer needed before being reassigned to the next location.
When available, a sleeper tractor will be provided for transportation and lodging during assignments. If a sleeper truck or tractor-trailer is not available in the assigned area, Royal Oak Recycling will arrange and cover all necessary travel expenses, including:
- Round-trip airfare
- Hotel accommodations
- Rental vehicle (when required)
- Approved travel-related expenses
