Position Overview
Rockport Commercial is seeking a highly skilled Class 3 Truck Driver to operate heavy manual transmission vehicles directly on our active multi-family construction sites. Unlike standard highway delivery roles, this position requires navigating tight, unpaved, and challenging construction environments. Our fleet consists strictly of manual transmission (stick shift) trucks; you must be fully proficient with standard transmissions to be considered for this role.
Key Responsibilities
- Manual Fleet Operation: Expertly operate manual transmission/stick shift Class 3 trucks (including split-differential or multi-speed gearboxes) without riding the clutch or grinding gears.
- Site Navigation: Drive dump trucks, tandem-axle trucks, or flatbeds safely through rough terrain, mud, hills, and tight urban job sites.
- Material Hauling: Transport aggregate, fill dirt, concrete forms, scaffolding, and heavy structural materials to and from sites.
- Load Securement: Properly strap, chain, and tarp loads to ensure zero movement during transit on and off-site.
- Precision Spotting: Coordinate closely with site spotters and heavy equipment to position the truck perfectly for loading and unloading.
- Daily Inspections: Perform rigorous pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, checking clutches, brakes, hydraulics, and fluid levels.
Required Qualifications
- Transmission Requirement: Proven mastery of manual transmission (standard/stick shift) commercial vehicles. Drivers with automatic-only restrictions on their licenses will not be considered.
- Licensing: Valid Class 3 Driver’s License with a clean commercial driving abstract.
- Site Experience: Minimum 2 years of commercial driving experience specifically on construction sites or industrial yards.
- Physical Ability: Capability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb into truck beds, and secure heavy chains or straps.
