• Perform required pre-trip and post-trip inspections of trucks, trailers, and related equipment
• Verify load weights, dimensions, and securement requirements before transportation
• Follow applicable oversized and overweight load requirements, including permits, routing restrictions, and escort procedures
• Coordinate with dispatch, project managers, and field personnel regarding equipment deliveries, pickup schedules, and transportation requirements
• Assist with loading, unloading, and positioning equipment when properly trained and authorized
• Maintain accurate driver logs, inspection reports, delivery documentation, and required transportation records
• Comply with Department of Transportation regulations, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requirements, and company safety policies
• Identify and promptly report equipment defects, mechanical concerns, unsafe conditions, and transportation delays
• Maintain assigned trucks, trailers, and associated equipment in a clean, safe, and professional condition
• Safely navigate active construction sites, industrial facilities, and other challenging delivery environments
• Communicate effectively with customers, supervisors, dispatch personnel, and field employees
• Perform other transportation-related responsibilities as assigned

Requirements
