Job Description
The job in plain terms: Drive. Deliver. Be home for dinner. That's it.
We're Conklin Metal Industries — a family-owned metals and HVAC Supply distributor that's been operating since 1874. Our Charlotte branch needs a dependable Class A driver who wants a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, typical hours of 7am–4pm, and a truck that sleeps in the yard — not you.
No OTR. No Sunday departures. No hotel rooms.
What your day looks like
- Out by 7am, back by 4pm most days
- Local and regional deliveries to contractors and fabricators
- Load, secure, and verify freight against bills of lading
- Pre-trip inspections and accurate log maintenance
- Operate pallet jacks and forklifts as needed
- Driving Class A vehicles but willing to drive various vehicles, like Class B and below
This freight is sheet metal, HVAC supplies, and duct fabrication materials — not grocery pallets or retail boxes. You'll need to be comfortable with heavier freight (up to 122 lbs with assistance) and physical work throughout the day.
What you need
- Valid Class A CDL
- Clean MVR and ability to pass DOT physical and drug screen
- Ability to hook/unhook trailers and unload
- Forklift experience preferred
- Professional, customer-facing attitude — our drivers are the face of Conklin on every delivery
What we offer
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Home every night — this is not OTR
- Monday–Friday schedule, 7am–4pm typical hours with opportunities for overtime
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- Life Insurance
- 401(k) with 4% company match
- Profit Sharing
- PTO 10 paid holidays
- Benefits start 1st of the month after 60 days
How hiring works
We keep it simple and respect your time. Here's what to expect:
- Phone screen — A short, informal call with a recruiter (who works directly for Conklin Metal) to learn about your background and answer any questions you have about the role.
- Predictive Index assessment — A quick 5-minute behavioral assessment you can complete right from your phone.
- On-site interview — An in-person conversation at our Charlotte branch with the Branch Manager.
That's it. No drawn-out process, no hoops.
Why drivers stay at Conklin
