Short-Form Video Editor for Comedy

About us Blue Ox Transport is a family-run trucking company out of Minnesota — terminals in Rogers, Mahtomedi, and Stewartville. We run FedEx Ground linehaul: no-touch freight, all drop and hook, brand-new 2026 Volvo day cabs, and our drivers are home every single night. That last part is the whole pitch. Most trucking recruiting looks identical — a truck driving down a highway, a list of benefits, a phone number. Drivers scroll past all of it. We want to be the company that makes them stop and actually laugh. What we're hiring for We're looking for a creator/editor to make Chamber Media–style recruiting reels for Instagram and Facebook. If you know that style, you know exactly what we mean: a comedic premise, a real hook in the first two seconds, escalating bit, and the actual sales message baked in so it doesn't feel like an ad until it's already worked. Everything is vertical 9:16 — Reels and Stories placements, with the same cuts running as paid Meta ads. Captions burned in, since most of this plays on mute in a break room. Two kinds of content: Our own footage — we have a real library. Logo files, truck photography, driver footage, DJI drone shots of the yards, voice recordings from our manager. Your job is to cut it into something that doesn't look like every other trucking ad. AI-generated UGC-style videos — talking-head spokespeople, sketch setups, scenarios we can't practically film. We already work in Higgsfield and similar tools, so you should be comfortable with AI video/voice generation and know when it looks good versus when it looks obviously fake. The audience Class A CDL drivers, mostly 30–55, mostly men, and deeply skeptical of recruiting ads because they've been lied to by carriers before. Facebook is where this audience actually lives. Polished corporate gloss actively hurts here — funny, honest, and a little self-aware works. If your instinct is to make it look like a Super Bowl commercial, we're not a fit. What you'll be selling Home daily. No-touch, drop and hook. Company-paid base medical. 401(k) with a discretionary year-end match. Two weeks PTO starting day one. Safety bonuses. Paid every Friday. New automatics. Top drivers north of $90K. What we're looking for A portfolio of comedy short-form. This matters more than anything else on this list — send links. Strong post chops (Premiere, CapCut, After Effects, whatever you actually use) Real experience with AI video and voice tools, not just curiosity about them Ability to write, or at least punch up, a bit — we don't just need someone to assemble footage Bonus if you've worked in blue-collar recruiting, trades, or local service marketing To apply Send 3–5 links to short-form videos you edited, and tell us in one line what made each one work. Then pitch us one comedic premise for a Blue Ox driver recruiting reel — a sentence or two is plenty. We'll pay attention to that more than the résumé.
