CDL Dump Truck Driver

CDL Dump Truck Driver
Elkhorn Lawn Care · Gretna, NE · Part-time (path to full-time) · Year-round · $26–$30/hr · Hiring 1 driver

This isn't a seasonal job.
We just added a second dump truck to our fleet, and it's staying busy year-round —landscape and material hauling in the growing season, equipment moves between job sites, pool excavation digs through the winter, and snow operations when the weather hits. Part-time to start, 3–4 days a week, with a clear path to full-time as we add hauling partners. If you're tired of driving jobs that dry up when the ground freezes, this is the one that doesn't.

Your rate reflects your experience.
We pay $26–$30/hr based on what you bring. Safe, reliable, productive drivers earn their way up — and into full-time hours first.

Who we are
Elkhorn Lawn Care is a commercial landscaping company operating across seven divisions — and we run differently than most. Our drivers and crews use GPS-tracked trucks, digital job scheduling, and field reporting tools. You'll always know where you're hauling, what you're hauling, and when you're expected — because our systems tell you before anyone has to call you. We're building a team that takes pride in showing up equipped and professional.

What you'll do

· Operate a Class B dump truck on local routes hauling soil, rock, mulch, and excavation material

· Haul and deliver equipment between the shop and job sites — loading, securing, and unloading safely

· Haul for ELC landscape crews and partner excavation projects, including winter pool digs

· Support our snow operations team during winter events — hauling, plowing, or snow removal as needed

· Run with our lead driver and coordinate daily with crew foremen and job sites

· Use your iPad to clock in/out of every job, log loads, and document work

· Complete pre- and post-trip inspections and flag maintenance needs before they become downtime

· Flag property issues you see on job sites — your eyes in the field generate revenue for the whole company

· Represent ELC professionally at every job site, supplier yard, and partner project

You're a fit if you

· Show up every day and take pride in being someone the team can count on

· Put safety first — on the road, at the pit, and on every job site

· Take ownership of your truck and your schedule without waiting to be told what to do next

· Are available for early mornings, nights, or weekends when snow events call for it

· Embrace technology — we run on digital systems and need people who are comfortable with them

· Want to grow into full-time work with a company that's expanding, not just pick up hours

· Are willing to learn, accept coaching, and execute our systems consistently — we don't hire lone wolves

· Valid Class B CDL (or higher) with air brake endorsement — Class A a plus

· Current DOT medical card

What this job actually is

· Outdoor — all weather, all four seasons, including winter excavation sites and snow events

· Physically active — inspections, tarping, chains, binders, climbing in and out of the cab

· Accountability-based — your loads, hours, and safety record are tracked daily

· High standards — we don't lower the bar for anyone, including ourselves
