CDL-A Route Driver Local - Home Every Afternoon

🚛 CDL-A Route Driver – Local & Home Every Afternoon

Join a Company That Feels Like Family

Shanker Beverage Company has proudly served nine Michigan counties since 1933. As a fifth-generation, family-owned distributor, we know our success comes from the people who drive it—literally. With fewer than 50 employees and over 40% of our staff here 15+ years (including a driver with 40 years of service), we’re proof that this is a place where you can build a career, not just a job.

We distribute brands people love—Faygo, Sparkling Ice, Essentia, Arizona, LaCroix, Nesquik, Calypso, Absopure, and more—while keeping our culture rooted in loyalty, consistency, and family values.
