About this job
Atlantic Plywood, an employee-owned distributor of hardwood plywood and panel products, needs a Class B driver to deliver building materials across the Eastern United States service territory. You'll run flatbed routes, handle load securing, and pitch in with warehouse work when needed.
What you'll haul
- Building materials like lumber, plywood, panels and engineered wood products, on company-owned or leased Class B trucks
- Loads secured with winches, ratchet straps, chains, binders, edge protection and blocking, using side-curtain wall trailers
- Occasional forklift work in the warehouse once you've completed the required training and OSHA certification
Schedule
- Full-time, Monday through Friday, starting around 4:00 AM and running until the work is done
- Day-shift hours with overtime possible during busy periods
- Occasional overnight trips depending on delivery needs
What the job involves
- Planning routes and driving safely in all weather and road conditions
- Loading and unloading material by hand (regularly 50+ lbs, occasionally up to 90 lbs)
- Doing pre-trip and post-trip inspections, checking fluids, tires, lights and brakes, and logging any mechanical issues
- Keeping accurate logs, delivery paperwork and ELD records per DOT rules
- Acting as the face of Atlantic Plywood with customers at delivery sites
Requirements
- Valid Class B CDL in good standing
- At least 3 years of professional driving experience
- Clean driving record with no major violations under company and DOT standards
- A valid DOT medical card, which you'll need to obtain on your own per FMCSA rules
- Able to follow DOT/FMCSA Hours of Service and ELD rules
- Basic math and English skills to handle schedules, bills of lading, route maps and safety instructions
- Able to pass a DOT drug and alcohol screen, background check and work authorization verification
- Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs regularly and up to 90 lbs occasionally, standing or walking most of an 8-10+ hour shift, and working outdoors in hot, cold or wet conditions
Flatbed experience with building materials, forklift skills, lumber industry background, side-curtain trailer or tarping experience, familiarity with the Eastern U.S. delivery territory, ELD experience, distribution-center background or a Hazmat endorsement are all a plus, but the company is open to training motivated candidates without them.
Benefits
- Employee ownership through the company's ESOP
- 401(k) plan
- Company-paid life insurance
- Medical, dental, vision and flexible spending insurance options
- Paid holidays and paid time off
- Referral bonus incentives
