CDL-A Truck Driving Jobs in Columbus, Ohio
Dedicated Truck Driving Opportunities in the Columbus Area
Keller Trucking hires Class A drivers in the Columbus area for two very different kinds of work. Our dedicated positions support the Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret / PINK distribution network — yard spotting in New Albany and shuttle runs between warehouses, hauling candles, fragrance, and personal care freight. We also hire Regional drivers who live in the Columbus area and run general freight on a regional or 14/2 schedule. Dedicated openings include both seasonal and full-time regular positions.
Dedicated driving opportunities may include yard spotting and shuttle work moving trailers and freight within the Columbus-area distribution network. The work is well suited for experienced CDL-A drivers looking for dedicated freight and consistent work without traditional long-haul driving. Requirements for dedicated positions (New Albany and shuttle): valid Class A CDL and at least one year of verifiable driving experience.
Dedicated Driving Jobs Available — Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret / PINK
Limited Brands runs several warehouse and distribution locations across the Columbus metro, and Keller has drivers at more than one of them. The work splits into two types.
* Dedicated positions require at least one year of verifiable Class A experience. *
Yard Spotting — New Albany
This position is yard work only. You will move trailers around the yard and spot them to and from doors in a switcher truck. You are not running the road on this job, and you are not leaving the property. If you want steady, repetitive work without traffic or a log book full of miles, this is the one.
* Dedicated positions require at least one year of verifiable Class A experience. *
Warehouse-to-Warehouse Shuttle
At the other Limited Brands sites, drivers shuttle loads between warehouses on short repeating runs. The freight is Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret / PINK product — candles, fragrance, and personal care items. You will run a mix of Keller day cabs and switcher trucks. Loads are short, the route is familiar, and you are not living out of the truck.
* Dedicated positions require at least one year of verifiable Class A experience. *

Keller's Finishing Program - For Drivers With Less Than a Year Behind the Wheel
You do not need experience to start over-the-road with Keller. If you hold a valid Class A CDL — including straight out of trucking school — you can come in through our paid finishing program. It is also built for drivers who have experience but have been out of a truck for a few years and want to knock the rust off.
Here is how it works:
- 8,500 miles with a certified trainer.
- At least one trip to eastern Pennsylvania, one trip through the mountains, and one through a major metropolitan area.
- This is not team driving. You and your trainer run the same clock, and you do all of the driving. Your trainer is there to support you and get you confident in the truck.
- Every Keller trainer is certified and trained through us before they take on a trainee.
- Typically five to six weeks, depending on trainer and trainee schedules and freight availability.
- Paid from day one.

“The stability is really great. The pay is a lot better than a lot of places I’ve been to. They pay you really great in my opinion. I was able to pay off multiple debts and keep myself ahead.”
