If you are a skilled and motivated professional driver, we want to hear from you. At Panera, warmth is our business, and we are looking for great additions to our team of truck drivers. All of our drivers are home every day – no OTR. Our routes run from our production facility to local bakery cafes. Rolling bakery cabinets filled with bread, bagel, and roll dough are pre-loaded onto reefer trailers which our drivers unload at local cafes. All of our trailers are equipped with lift gates which means no hand trucks/dollies.
