Klassen is a family company built over generations—rooted in hard work, innovation, and a commitment to create value that lasts. Since 1963, we've grown from a single truck and a local mission into a trusted supplier and transportation partner across 40 states and provinces.
We believe great companies are built through understanding—understanding our customers, our products, and our people. That's why we invest in craftsmanship, reliable service, and the team members who make it all happen. From soils and mulches to bedding products and agricultural materials, we transform wood residuals into dependable solutions that support the work and lives of our customers.
If you want to be part of a company where people matter, quality matters, and your work makes a difference—welcome to Klassen.
Do you like driving, working with your hands, and seeing a finished job you can be proud of? This is a hands-on role for someone who wants more than a seat in a cab. As a Blower Truck Operator / Installer, you'll drive to job sites across the region, then set up and blow mulch, bark, topsoil, and compost into place with precision—leaving every site looking sharp.
You'll be the face of Klassen on every job: talking customers through the process, answering their questions, and making sure they're happy before you pull away. Some days you'll run the job solo; other days you'll lead a small crew. We'll train the right person on the blower equipment—what matters most is a strong Class 3 driver who takes pride in their work, cares about safety, and isn't afraid to get dirty.
You won't be a number here. You'll know your crew leads, your manager will know your name, and when something comes up, someone picks up the phone.
