Why Join CERO?Most driving jobs either keep you on the road all day or offer no room for growth. We offer a steady local schedule and a chance to become a worker-owner. We're looking for someone who is reliable, works hard, and wants to grow with us. CERO Cooperative is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other non-merit factors. We strongly encourage people of color, immigrants, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with lived experience in working-class communities to apply.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
