What are the responsibilities and job description for the ShedMax Delivery Driver / Building Setup & Equipment Operator position at Shedmax Buildings?
Full-Time | Local & Regional Routes | No Overnight Travel
Starting at $16/hour Performance & Completion Bonuses
No CDL Required
THIS IS NOT A “SIT IN THE TRUCK AND DRIVE” JOB
ShedMax is hiring a dependable, mechanically minded Delivery Driver / Building Setup Specialist to deliver, place, level, and set up portable buildings for our customers.
If what you want is a job where you spend most of the day sitting in the cab, this is probably not the job for you.
A large part of this job happens after you arrive at the customer's property.
You will:
- Unload portable buildings
- Operate specialized shed-moving equipment
- Learn and operate a ShedMule / shed mover
- Maneuver buildings through yards and tight spaces
- Position buildings accurately
- Block and level buildings
- Make setup adjustments
- Inspect the building and job site
- Protect the customer's property
- Solve field problems
- Clean up and leave the site looking professional
The truck gets you to the job.
The real work starts when you get there.
WHAT THIS JOB IS REALLY LIKE
This is outdoor, physical field work.
Some days will be:
- Cold
- Rainy
- Muddy
- Hot
- Dusty
- Windy
- Wet
- Uneven
- Tight
- Challenging
You may be crawling around a building, setting blocks, checking level, moving equipment, repositioning the shed, protecting landscaping, and working around fences, driveways, slopes, trees, septic areas, and tight access.
There are easy deliveries.
There are also deliveries where you have to stop, think, figure it out, and make it happen without damaging the building or the customer's property.
If you don't like getting out of the truck, getting dirty, or working outside in bad weather, do not apply.
THERE IS NOT ALWAYS A SET QUITTING TIME
This is delivery and field work.
A delivery may take longer than expected.
Access may be difficult.
Traffic may slow the route.
A building may need additional leveling.
The customer may have a more difficult site than expected.
Equipment may need to be repositioned.
Some days may finish earlier. Other days may run later.
We need someone who understands that the day is finished when the route and customer responsibilities are properly completed—not simply because the clock reached a certain time.
If you need to leave at exactly the same time every day, this may not be a good fit.
YOU MUST LEARN QUICKLY
You do not need to already know everything about moving and setting portable buildings.
We can teach you:
- Shed-moving procedures
- ShedMule operation
- Building placement
- Blocking
- Leveling
- Site approach
- Trailer procedures
- Delivery inspections
- Setup standards
- Customer procedures
- Tips and tricks that make difficult deliveries easier
But we need someone who learns quickly and retains what they are taught.
We do not want to teach the same thing every day for three months.
We need someone who can watch, listen, understand why something is done a certain way, and then begin applying it independently.
DRIVING IS IMPORTANT — BUT IT'S ONLY PART OF THE JOB
You will drive company one-ton trucks pulling approximately 30-foot gooseneck trailers.
You need to be able to:
- Tow confidently
- Back a gooseneck trailer
- Judge turns and clearance
- Maneuver safely in tight areas
- Secure loads correctly
- Inspect the truck and trailer
- Pay attention to the building while transporting it
- Protect company equipment
- Drive professionally around the public
Gooseneck towing experience is required.
A CDL is not required.
But being a good driver alone does not make somebody a good ShedMax delivery person.
80% OF THE VALUE IS WHAT YOU DO AT THE CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY
A ShedMax delivery is not:
Back in → drop building → leave.
The finished setup matters.
The building should be:
- Positioned correctly
- Properly supported
- Properly leveled
- Stable
- Straight
- Accessible
- Located where the customer agreed
- Free from avoidable delivery damage
The customer's property should also be treated with respect.
You need to look at:
- Ground conditions
- Slope
- Drainage
- Fences
- Trees
- Landscaping
- Driveways
- Septic areas
- Overhead obstacles
- Soft ground
- Tight corners
- Clearance
- Equipment access
A strong delivery person is constantly thinking: “If I do this, what happens next?”
WE WANT SOMEONE WHO THINKS AHEAD
We are looking for somebody who notices problems before they become problems.
Before driving into a yard:
- Is the ground too soft?
- Is there enough room to get back out?
- Is that limb going to hit the building?
- Is the trailer going to drag?
- Is the ShedMule going to have enough traction?
- Is there a septic system in the way?
- Can the building make the turn?
- Is the pad ready?
- Is there enough clearance?
During setup:
- Is the building sitting correctly?
- Is it supported properly?
- Is it level?
- Is it rocking?
- Are the blocks positioned correctly?
- Does the whole building look right?
We need someone who thinks three steps ahead instead of waiting until something goes wrong.
QUALITY MATTERS
We do not want a driver who rushes through deliveries just to get back to the shop.
Speed matters.
Efficiency matters.
But the customer just spent real money on their building.
They deserve a professional delivery.
That means:
- Don't damage the building
- Don't damage the customer's property
- Don't leave it obviously out of level
- Don't leave blocks crooked
- Don't leave trash
- Don't leave tools behind
- Don't ignore something because “the customer didn't notice”
- Don't rush through the final inspection
The job is not done until the building and setup look right.
YOU ARE THE FACE OF SHEDMAX
In many cases, you may be the only ShedMax employee the customer ever meets face-to-face.
That matters.
We expect you to:
- Be respectful
- Be professional
- Explain what you're doing when necessary
- Stay calm when a customer has questions
- Avoid arguing
- Protect the customer's property
- Communicate problems clearly
- Represent ShedMax professionally
- Leave the customer feeling good about their purchase
You may have had a long day.
The customer doesn't know that.
Their delivery is still important.
TAKE CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT
You may be responsible for:
- Company truck
- Gooseneck trailer
- Shed-moving equipment
- ShedMule
- Jacks
- Blocks
- Levels
- Straps
- Chains
- Tools
- Delivery equipment
We want somebody who keeps track of equipment and notices problems.
If something is damaged, report it.
If something is missing, find it.
If the truck needs attention, say something.
If a strap is worn out, replace or report it.
Treat company equipment like you personally paid for it.
A careless person with a truck, trailer, building, and equipment can cost the company a lot of money very quickly.
YOU'LL PROBABLY BE GREAT AT THIS JOB IF:
- You are a confident driver
- You can back a gooseneck trailer
- You enjoy operating equipment
- You like working outdoors
- You don't mind getting dirty
- You are mechanically minded
- You solve problems instead of panicking

- You stay organized
- You take care of equipment
- You work well independently
- You communicate well with customers
- You don't need somebody watching you all day
- You are dependable
- You are willing to stay until the work is finished

- You mainly want to sit in the truck
- You don't like physical work
- You hate mud, rain, cold, or heat
- You don't want to work outside
- You are uncomfortable operating equipment
- You struggle backing trailers
- You get frustrated when a delivery isn't easy
- You need constant instructions
- You don't like solving problems
- You are careless with equipment
- You leave tools laying around
- You rush through setup

EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSFERS WELL
Good candidates may come from:
- Equipment operation
- Farming
- Construction
- Excavation
- Landscaping
- Towing
- Trailer delivery

- Heavy equipment
- Forklift operation

ATTENDANCE IS A REQUIREMENT
Our customers are scheduled.
The building may already be loaded.
The route may already be planned.
Another employee may be depending on you.
A customer may have taken off work specifically for their delivery.

- Oversleep
- Call in
- Arrive late
- Have transportation issues
- Need to leave early
- Have something come up constantly
- Need repeated reminders to show up
this is not a feasible position for you.
We need people we can trust with the truck, equipment, building, customer, and schedule.
