What to expect on the schedule

This is a regional over-the-road route, not a home-daily job. We are upfront about that because the structure is predictable and the weekends are yours.

• Depart Monday morning
• On the road Monday through Thursday/Friday
• Overnights 3 to 4 nights per week, depending on the zone
• Return home on Friday
• Territory is divided into 4 zones, one zone per week, so you cover the same general area all week.
• You stay in a hotel, not a sleeper

What you will do

• Safely deliver helium compressed gas cylinders to scheduled, repeat customers
• Load and unload cylinders and return empties to the fill plant
• Perform daily vehicle safety inspections
• Complete delivery paperwork and maintain DOT compliance
• Build relationships with regular customers and help manage their inventory needs

• Class A CDL with Hazmat endorsement
• 1 year of driving experience or driving school training within the past 4 years
