Equipment Transport Driver & Yard Support
Black Peak Equipment – Tremonton, Utah
Full-Time | $17–$25 per hour, depending on licensing and experience
Black Peak Equipment is looking for a dependable, mechanically inclined, and safety-conscious employee to transport rental equipment and assist with our shop and yard operations.
We are open to hiring either an experienced CDL driver or an entry-level non-CDL driver who wants to learn and work toward obtaining a CDL.
The ideal candidate enjoys driving, operating equipment, working with their hands, and solving basic mechanical problems. We are looking for someone who is willing to learn, takes care of equipment, pays attention to safety, and can work independently once trained.
This is not a driving-only position. When deliveries are completed, the employee will assist with equipment cleaning, inspections, routine maintenance, parts runs, yard organization, and shop support.

- Comfortable using a smartphone for navigation, calls, photos, and delivery documentation
- Must successfully complete a pre-employment drug test
