The YohnCo Ready-Mix Driver delivers ready-mixed concrete and other associated products to job sites located within a reasonable proximity of their assigned plant. Drivers will be asked to drive at other locations but will stop and start their day at the same location. During peak season the daily work schedule may consist of up to five, 10 hour days, with overtime on both a voluntary or mandatory basis and will include some Saturdays. The Ready-Mix driver is crucial in customer retention and quality control as they are the face of YohnCo concrete. The Ready-Mix driver will contact dispatch, daily, to receive start time. The drivers are the face of the YohnCo company image and as such the cleanliness of the driver’s assigned vehicle and personal appearance are what our customers judge YohnCo by. It is paramount that all trucks are maintained and kept clean at all times—this includes the inside as well as the outside of the truck. Time will be allowed to each driver for cleaning.
