Samaritan's Purse
Samaritan's Purse currently recruiting for seasonal employees to work at our centers where we process Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. Last year over 10 million shoeboxes, and the gospel opportunities they represent, were sent all around the world. You can see an overview of this ministry at https://video.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child-overview-2022-full/
One of the more difficult positions that we recruit for is the position of CDL Class A switch drivers to work at each of our eight processing centers. Currently we need switch drivers at our Aurora IL, Baltimore MD, Charlotte NC, and Englewood CO locations. The processing season runs for about four weeks from Saturday November 19 (1/2 day of orientation) to the week before Christmas, so ending on or before December 17. AM shift of 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM / PM shift of 3:00 PM to 10:30 PM. At least one switch driver is needed for each shift. Other than Thanksgiving Day work is 6 days per week Monday through Saturday. This is not over the road trucking, but is switch driving to move trailers and shipping containers into and out of our dock area to a nearby yard.
The pay is $25 per hour with time-and-a-half for overtime. Out of town drivers may receive compensation for room and board.

Could you please consider sharing this on your website, or any other digital outreaches you have. In our call you mentioned you have already reached out to some truck drivers. Thank you very much for those efforts. Please share this opportunity by email, text, or otherwise with other truck drivers you know and help us get the word out. We are contacting several of the other ministries you identify on your website. Can you also brainstorm with us on other ways for us to find drivers for short term projects such as this. Thank you.
