Job Description
We are seeking a reliable, safety-minded Local Class A CDL Driver to join our fleet. In this role, you will be responsible for transporting goods and materials safely to local customer locations, construction sites, or transfer yards. Unlike long-haul trucking, this local routing position ensures that you are home daily with a consistent, predictable schedule. The ideal candidate prioritizes road safety, maintains accurate logs, and provides exceptional customer service during stops.
Safe Vehicle Operation: Navigate commercial motor vehicles (tractor-trailers, box trucks, or dump trucks) safely over local surface roads, highways, and tight urban spaces in all weather conditions.
Inspections & Maintenance: Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections (brakes, tires, fluids, lights) to ensure complete compliance with DOT regulations and company safety standards.
Dispatch Communication: Maintain open contact with dispatchers and yard personnel to report traffic delays, mechanical defects, or on-site delivery hazards.
Qualifications & Requirements:
- Licensing: Valid Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR).
- Medical Clearance: Current Department of Transportation (DOT) Medical Card.
- Experience: Minimum 12 months of verifiable commercial tractor-trailer or heavy truck driving experience.
- Compliance: Clean FMCSA Clearinghouse record and ability to pass a mandatory pre-employment drug and alcohol screening.
- Age Limit: Must be at least 21 years old (or 18 for purely intrastate travel, depending on state guidelines).
Physical Demands:
- Ability to climb in and out of the cab frequently, work outdoors, and lift or move objects weighing between 40 to 75 lbs if handling cargo.
Typical Work Conditions & Benefits:
- Home Time: Home daily, operating within a localized radial mile limit (typically a 50 to 150-mile radius).
- Compensation Type: Paid hourly with overtime after 40 hours, or paid a daily/weekly guaranteed component rate.
- Benefits: Insurance, 401(k) retirement match, and accrued Paid Time Off (PTO).
