This position is responsible for the safe and timely delivery and retrieval of airline catering carts to and from commercial aircraft on the tarmac using specialized high-lift box trucks.

This is not an entry-level driving position. Candidates must have prior experience operating box trucks or straight trucks (typically 16’-26’ in length). Experience limited to personal vehicles, rideshare/delivery services (e.g., Amazon, DoorDash), or warehouse forklifts does not meet the requirements for this role.

  • Safely drive and operate the truck on airport grounds, adhering to all safety and security protocols

  • Lift and position the truck at aircraft doors for accurate loading and unloading of catering carts

  • Swap full carts with empty ones while ensuring accuracy and timeliness

  • Communicate clearly with airline crew, ramp agents, and kitchen staff to coordinate deliveries

  • Monitor flight schedules to ensure on-time service for every flight

  • Perform routine safety checks and keep the vehicle and carts clean and organized at all times

What You'll Need:

  • Valid Minnesota Driver’s License with a clean driving record

  • Minimum 1 year box truck or straight truck driving experience (Required)

  • Must pass a TSA background check, airport security clearance and a safety-sensitive pre-employment drug screening

  • Ability to lift 75 lbs and work in all weather conditions

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure airport environment

  • Open availability: early mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays

  • Strong communication skills and attention to detail

  • Able to take direction, meet deadlines, and maintain a positive, professional attitude

Bonus Points If You Have:

  • Familiarity with operating high-lift vehicles or working around aircraft

Qualifications/Experience:

Shift Availability:

  • Day Shift (Required)

  • Evening Shift (Required)

  • 8 or 10-Hour Shifts (Required)

  • Weekends and Holidays (Required)

Open availability is essential due to seniority-based shift bids that occur 2–3 times per year, as schedules are assigned based on tenure and availability during these periods.
