Intermodal AZ Driver (Ottawa, ON)

Kriska, recognized as a 2026 Best Fleet to Drive For and a 13-year recipient of Trucking HR Canada's Top Fleet Employer of Distinction, is seeking licensed tractor-trailer drivers to join our expanding Intermodal team based in Ottawa. Join a driver-focused company that prioritizes safety and community with an excellent CVOR rating.

We offer a friendly workplace, excellent equipment, and a team that supports you to ensure a positive and rewarding experience. This is an ideal opportunity for experienced drivers seeking a better work-life balance with weekly home time. Our drivers enjoy steady full-time work, no-touch freight, and company benefits from day one.

Candidates with at least one year of current tractor-trailer experience are encouraged to apply, and prior experience at Montreal’s ports is considered an asset. Please note that we employ our drivers directly rather than as contractors.

Intermodal drivers are responsible for the movement of containers from the ocean port and railyards in Montreal to various destinations in eastern Ontario and Quebec. Drivers will pick up loaded containers from Montreal and deliver them to various customers or drop lots then return to the ports with empty or loaded containers.

Most deliveries are live unload with a driver often staying hooked to the same chassis for several days at a time. These positions allow drivers to return home to Ottawa each night or weekend. Safety and patience are key considerations, as drivers will be spending time in congested and busy rail yards with large equipment.
