- Perform thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections and report any maintenance or safety concerns.
- Maintain accurate driving, delivery, inspection, and freight documentation.
- Communicate professionally with dispatchers, customers, and shipping/receiving personnel.
- Provide timely updates regarding pickup and delivery status, delays, traffic, or other route issues.
- Maintain a clean and organized truck and ensure equipment is properly secured.
- Follow all company policies and applicable DOT, FMCSA, and state regulations.
- Be prepared for overnight and multi-day OTR trips as assigned.

- Experience transporting equipment, machinery, food-grade equipment, or general freight is a plus.
- Familiarity with GPS/navigation systems and route planning.
- Knowledge of DOT and FMCSA regulations.
- Ability to complete required paperwork, electronic logs, delivery documents, and inspections accurately.
- Strong communication and customer service skills.
- Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently.
