The ideal candidate is a proactive problem solver who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty, is meticulous about load securement, and takes pride in keeping their equipment running smoothly. If you do not currently have a Hazmat / Tanker endorsement, we will help you get one.

• Basic Maintenance: Perform thorough pre- and post-trip inspections. You should be capable of handling minor, light maintenance tasks on the truck (such as changing bulbs, replacing wipers, tightening loose parts, or minor troubleshooting) to keep moving safely.

• Problem Solving: Ability to think on your feet, navigate route disruptions, and handle unexpected situations professionally while on the road.

Requirements & Qualifications
