We are so proud to be 100% employee owned. We hire owners, not employees! This means that employees earn ownership in our company through their work and build their net worth based on the company's change in value over time. Once eligible, you start your journey to ownership with an annual gift of stock averaging 17% of what you make each year.

For our seventh consecutive year, we ranked in the Top 10 Best Places to Work in Idaho.

Primary Purpose:

More than a driver. You're the crew that makes building easy.

If you want to sit behind a wheel all day, this isn't the role for you — and that's okay. But if you like showing up to a job site, getting your hands dirty, and going home knowing you made real work happen, keep reading.

What the job actually looks like:

• You'll operate straight trucks and tractor-trailers
• Real variety in your equipment, not the same cab every day.
• You'll run piggyback lifts regularly
• Operating equipment is part of the job, not just a nice-to-have skill. You'll get good at this fast.
• You'll work on active construction sites
• Deliveries mean placing building materials exactly where crews need them — by hand and by lift. You're not just dropping a load at the curb.
• You'll handle returns, too
• When projects wrap, you'll gather material, band it together, and load it back — physically and with the lift. The full cycle is yours.
• Heavy lifting is part of the deal
• We won't sugarcoat it — this role is physically demanding. If that sounds like your kind of workday, you'll fit right in here.

This role is built for someone who takes pride in working hard and finishing the job right — not just clocking miles.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

Safety First: Your commitment to safety is paramount. We prioritize a secure working environment for all team members.

Masterful Driving: You'll get behind the wheel of DOT-regulated trucks, showcasing your driving skills with confidence and precision.

Forklift Expertise: Operate a forklift with skill and finesse to handle materials efficiently.

Precise Placement: Arrange building materials at job sites according to the preferences of framers, ensuring a smooth workflow.

Customer Focus: Interact with customers and subcontractors in a friendly, professional manner, building trust and providing exceptional service.

Product Knowledge: Continuously grow your knowledge base by learning about new products and processes in the building industry, helping us expand our customer base and market share.

Supportive Team Player: Offer support to your crew and foreman, contributing to a collaborative and productive work environment.

Product Returns: Manage product returns for credit efficiently, ensuring accurate transactions.

Employment Eligibility: Franklin Building Supply participates in E-Verify. All new hires must be legally authorized to work in the United States and will be verified through the federal E-Verify system.

Requirements:

You'll thrive here if you...

• Like being active on your feet, not just in the seat
• Feel comfortable around construction environments
• Take ownership of the whole job, not just your part of it
• Are physically fit and ready to match the demands of the role

Required:

• CDL Expertise: Possess a Class A or B Commercial driver's license with a clean driving record.
• Safety First: Maintain a current Medical Card and be prepared to work in inclement weather.
• Versatility: Adapt to changes in the building industry, embracing new products and processes to enhance our customer experience.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortably operate a tablet and demonstrate problem-solving skills with minimal supervision.
• Customer Dedication: Build trust with our customers, providing a positive experience to support business growth.
• Urgency and Detail: Exhibit a highly developed sense of urgency and timely follow-up. Pay great attention to detail and possess excellent organizational skills.

Strongly Preferred:

Experience Matters: Previous commercial driving and forklift experience are highly preferred.

Construction Insight: Previous work in construction or home building is a strong advantage.
