• Minimum 2 years of CDL driving experience.
• Experience operating manual transmission trucks.
• Ability to safely maneuver trailers in yard and industrial environments.
• Strong safety mindset and attention to detail.
• Previous yard jockey, terminal, waste, tanker, transportation, or industrial experience is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• High School Diploma / GED preferred.
• Schedule First shift schedule, typically 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Approximately 45-50 hours per week. Home daily. Sign-on bonus available.
