Job description

Seasonal CDL Driver (Class B / Class A Preferred) Hoisting 1A License Required

Employment Type: Full-Time

Koopman Lumber is hiring an experienced CDL Truck Driver (Class A or Class B) to deliver building materials to residential and commercial jobsites. This is a hands‑on, physically demanding role — not just driving from point A to point B. Drivers are expected to load, unload, handle returns, and work outdoors in all seasons.

What You’ll Do

• Safely operate Class A or Class B trucks to deliver lumber and building materials
• Load and unload your own truck using forklifts, Moffett, and manual labor as required
• Deliver to active jobsites and load returns from customer locations
• Secure loads properly and inspect materials for accuracy and condition
• Communicate with dispatch using mobile apps or tablets
• Complete required logs, inspections, and delivery paperwork
• Represent Koopman Lumber professionally with customers and jobsite personnel
• This role requires physical effort and problem‑solving — it’s not dock‑to‑dock driving.

Why Koopman Lumber

• Steady, year‑round work with predictable scheduling
• Modern equipment and well‑maintained fleet
• Competitive pay and benefits including:
• Health & dental insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Life & disability insurance
• Employee discounts
• Family‑owned company with strong local roots and values
