What are the responsibilities and job description for the Class A CDL Driver position at Twisted Creek Transport, LLC?
Overview
Join our small fleet where you aren't just a name and number on the wall! We currently have a position available where you will be expected to be out m-f, with the exception of being home throughout the week from time to time. When you can make it home through the week, you can gladly take the truck home, but on the weekends we require the truck to be here at our shop in Crystal Spring so we can go over everything incase any maintenance is needed. You will be expected to pull open deck flatbeds with tarps, conestoga flatbeds, and 53ft dry vans from time to time. We ask that you keep a clean truck inside and out, and also be clean yourself. We take pride in our company and our employees. Our truck is our first impression, then you!
We offer healthcare, vision, and dental. At the start of employment you are given 2 weeks paid vacation, leeway of time off if needed for family or personal time etc. We give you your dispatch info, and leave you alone! Call us if you need us, and we'll do the same. If you're tired of the big fleets where you have a camera staring at you all day, lane departure systems beeping at you on a curvy road, or just looking for a change, submit your application!
