A ready mix driver is not your typical driving position. Experience short-haul delivery, be home every night, and be an integral part of exciting projects building roads, bridges, houses, commercial buildings, and everything in between. Experience diversity, hauling to different contractors and projects every day. Take ownership of your role by checking for concrete quality, maintaining courteous customer relations, and working with a team that feels like family. If this sounds like an ideal career but you lack ready mix experience or a CDL, don't let that deter you from applying. We have many training programs and opportunities for the right candidates.

• Understand the differences between different mix designs and be able to visually inspect the mix for proper materials, verify the load size to the ticket, check for the proper slump, and make appropriate adjustments.
• Complete wash down at job site according to location the customer directs. Complete drum rinse upon returning to plant and perform required drum chipping.
• Provide excellent customer service by communicating professionally and courteously with customers to complete delivery and collect payment.
• Maintain vehicles, plant, and shop to promote a clean, organized, and safe workplace including performing regular maintenance on ready mix trucks and other equipment.
• Complete all required paperwork with the use of tablets or cell phones to ensure proper accounting and timekeeping practices are executed (pre-trip inspections, time reporting, truck reports, trip tickets, etc.).
• Team player mentality and eagerness to cross-train on topics such as dispatching, batching, mechanics, etc.
• Willingness to perform duties outside the normal scope of work as this job description is non-exhaustive.
