Class 1 Dump Truck Driver — Seasonal Limestone Haul, $42–$45/hr

Our company Group is looking for Class 1 drivers for a full-time seasonal limestone-hauling contract supporting the Newmont Brucejack project, based out of Smithers, BC. You'd be running Super B side dumps, Super B end dumps, or quad end-dump trailers between the Smithers area, Dahl Lake Quarry near Vanderhoof, and the Brucejack staging area near Stewart.

Pay

• Trip-rated pay works out to $42–$45 per hour; your exact rate and how it's calculated will be explained before you accept.

• Non-local drivers may qualify for flat-rate travel pay, with details confirmed during hiring.

• Posted annual pay range: $131,000.00–$155,000.00.

Schedule and rotation

• Full-time, seasonal position.

• Typical operating days are Monday through Saturday, though this depends on your rotation, dispatch needs, weather and the project.

• Rotations are negotiable and will be worked out between you and the company.

• Three shift setups are available depending on equipment and project needs: Smithers-based day cabs shared between two drivers on roughly 10-hour cycles; sleeper-truck runs with up to 13 hours driving and 14 hours on duty; or day-cab work where you arrange your own accommodation, also up to a full workday. All of this runs within hours-of-service rules, rest requirements and site fatigue policies. Your specific route, shift pattern and living arrangement get confirmed before you start.

Accommodation and living allowance

Non-local drivers who qualify get a daily living-out allowance based on their housing setup: $75/day in a hotel, $150/day staying in a sleeper-equipped truck, or $200/day if you provide your own accommodation while on day-cab work. This gets finalized before your start date.

What you'll haul and drive

You'll move limestone using Super B side dumps, Super B end dumps, or dump trucks pulling quad end-dump trailers. Equipment assignment depends on project needs and will be confirmed ahead of time.

The job

• Operate your assigned truck/trailer safely, with full pre-trip, en-route and post-trip inspections, reporting any defects right away.

• Load and dump safely, checking ground stability, clearance and conditions first.

• Stay within legal weight limits and secure loads properly.

• Chain up when conditions call for it and adjust driving for mountain roads, snow and weather.

• Keep accurate paperwork: bills of lading, scale tickets, time records and e-logs.

• Follow site and company procedures, including radio protocols and access rules.

• Keep dispatch updated on delays, equipment issues and progress.

• Hand off clearly to the next driver when sharing a truck.

• Keep your box clean to avoid contaminating the limestone load.

• Work well with loading crews, site staff, customers and other drivers.

What you need

• Valid Class 1 licence, air brake endorsement, and a clean driving record.

• Manual transmission experience.

• Comfort driving in snow and installing chains.

• Confidence on mountain routes in rough weather.

• Super B side dump, Super B end dump, or quad end-dump trailer experience is a plus — let them know which types you've run.

• Solid written and spoken English for safety instructions and recordkeeping.

• Physically able to chain up and inspect equipment.

• Comfortable with a smartphone and in-truck ELD.

• Reliable, safety-focused, and able to work independently while following dispatch direction.

Benefits

After 90 days on the job, you become eligible for a fully company-paid benefits plan (Stromsten covers 100% of premiums), including dental, extended health and prescription drug coverage, vision, life and disability insurance, chiropractic and massage therapy, plus an Employee Assistance Program.

Before you start

Expect a road test, equipment evaluation, onboarding, and any required drug/alcohol testing or site-access checks. If you move forward, you'll need to provide your licence, two employment references, and a driver's abstract pulled within the last 10 days.
