Dump Truck Driver / Front-End Loader Operator (CDL Required)

Crosspoint Group is seeking dependable, safety-driven Dump Truck Drivers and Front-End Loader Operators to support construction, aggregate, and site development operations in the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

In this hands-on role, you’ll keep materials moving: loading, hauling, and delivering aggregates, soil, asphalt, and debris to and from job sites, quarries, and material yards. Operators who can do both, driving and running a loader, are especially valued, but we welcome candidates strong in either.

If you have a valid Commercial Driver’s License, a strong work ethic, and experience with heavy equipment or haul trucks, we invite you to build a long-term career with Crosspoint Group.

What You’ll Do

• Dump Truck Operation: Safely operate tandem, tri-axle, or end-dump trucks to haul aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed stone), fill dirt, asphalt, and demolition debris between quarries, plants, and job sites.
• Front-End Loader Operation: Load haul trucks accurately and efficiently, build and maintain material stockpiles, and manage yard and site material flow.
• Job Site Support: Spread, dump, and position loads as directed by site supervisors; assist with grading, backfill, and cleanup as needed.
• Load Accuracy & Documentation: Verify load weights and tickets, complete delivery paperwork and logs, and follow scale-house procedures.
• Preventive Maintenance & Inspections: Conduct daily pre-trip and post-trip inspections (DOT and OSHA/MSHA compliance); grease fittings, check fluids, and report mechanical issues promptly.
• Safety & Compliance: Follow DOT regulations, weight limits, load-securement rules, and company safety protocols at all times, including spotting procedures and working safely around other equipment and ground crews.
• Customer Interaction: Communicate professionally with contractors, site foremen, and plant personnel during pickups and deliveries.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Commercial Driver’s License (CDL): Valid Class A or Class B CDL with an acceptable driving record (required for dump truck drivers; preferred for loader operators).
• Equipment Experience: Experience operating dump trucks, front-end loaders, wheel loaders, or comparable heavy equipment (preferred).
• Industry Background: Familiarity with construction sites, quarry or aggregate operations, asphalt paving, or site development (preferred).
• DOT Medical Card: Current or able to obtain (required for CDL drivers).
• Mechanical Aptitude: Ability to perform walk-around inspections, spot mechanical issues early, and handle basic preventive maintenance.
• Reliability: Proven record of punctuality, safety awareness, teamwork, and clear communication.
• Education: High school diploma or GED preferred.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

• Climb in and out of heavy equipment and commercial trucks repeatedly throughout the shift.
• Sit for extended periods while operating equipment or driving.
• Work outdoors in varying weather conditions (heat, cold, rain, dust, noise).
• Walk, bend, stoop, and navigate uneven terrain, active job sites, and gravel surfaces.
• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs periodically during maintenance, tarping, and cleanup.
• Early starts and occasional overtime or Saturday work based on project demand.
