Truck Driver (Dripping Springs)

Patriot Erectors, LLC

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we've fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.

We're a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership. Our vision: Recognize a Need & Fulfill It.

Haul the steel that builds Texas.

Every beam we raise rides on your trailer first. We're looking for an experienced flatbed pro who chains, straps, and tarps a load the right way, runs a clean inspection every time, and takes pride in delivering steel safely for a company that treats drivers like the professionals they are.

Why Patriot Not the Other Guys

Steady steel freight, not load-board roulette. You'll haul for our own shop and our own projects consistent, dedicated work for a company that's been building Texas since 1991.

Safety is value #1. The first letter in our STEEL values is Safety. We run legal, we maintain our equipment, and we never push drivers past the rules.

Benefits drivers rarely see. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, a 401(k) match, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.
