This range is reasonably well positioned against both comps.Competitive LandscapeJ.B. Hunt Transport, Knight Transportation, Schneider, CPC Logistics, XPO Logistics, FedEx Ground, UPS, Amazon.Contractor to FTE TrendsNo client specific pattern on file yet. This req runs about 6 months (08/31/2026 to 02/28/2027); the general heuristic applies for possible extension.Selling Points and Watch OutsStandard daytime 1st shift schedule (7am to 3pm), the most desirable of the three shifts covered across this driver team, a strong lead-in for a recruiter callThis is campus based, short cycle route driving, not long haul trucking, meaning drivers are home every day and not away on the road for extended periodsThis req shares the same recurring "New Albany, OH - Meta site" versus "Charlotte, NC" location conflict seen on the two prior reqs from this same business unit (Plant Planning-Supply Chain). Charlotte, NC has now been confirmed as correct three times running for this group, so this is very likely a stable template default rather than something needing per-req confirmation going forward, though still worth flagging to Corning as a fix-once itemRequires training and authorization for pallet jacks, liftgates, or forklifts when those devices are assigned, so candidates should be comfortable with equipment certification requirements beyond just drivingCandidate ProfileAn experienced straight truck or local delivery driver comfortable with short cycle, repetitive campus route driving, material verification, and handheld scanner use.
