Job Description

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.

What you will do

Are you a seasoned Class A driver who wants more than just time behind the wheel? As a Field Operator for Volvo Autonomous Solutions, you are the backbone of our terminal operations. You aren’t just moving freight; you are a safety leader, a mentor to new drivers, and a key partner to our Operations Manager. This is a dynamic role for a professional who takes pride in equipment excellence and operational precision. This role is located in Hutchins, Texas.

What You’ll Do

Operational Leadership: Support designated terminal by managing tractor keys, organizing customer documentation, and ensuring our fleet is mission-ready.

Safety & Compliance: Conduct expert-level DOT inspections (we will help you get your CVSA Enhanced Certification!) to ensure every tractor exceeds safety standards.

Mentorship: Train incoming drivers on GeoTab, E-Logs, dispatch procedures, and terminal protocols. You are the "subject matter expert" they look to for guidance.

Precision Driving: Safely operate Class 8 tractors and 53’ trailers for hub-to-hub transports and maintenance shuttling.

Empowered Decision Making: You have the authority. If equipment isn't safe, you make the call to fix it before it hits the road.

Who are you?

An Expert Pilot: You have 2+ years of experience in the last 36 months pulling 53’ trailers.

Technically Savvy: Comfortable with In-Cab tech, GPS, and E-Logs.

Physically Capable: This is an active role. You’ll be in and out of the cab, cranking landing gears, inspecting under trailers, and handling trailer doors daily.

Safety-Obsessed: You know FMCSA regulations inside and out and hold yourself to the highest professional standards.

Requirements Valid Class A CDL with a clean driving record. Up-to-date Medical Card. Ability to pull, reach, bend, and climb as required for pre/post-trip inspections and coupling. Strong communication skills to keep Dispatch and Operations in the loop. We will conduct a comprehensive regulatory driver background check, including review of driving history, safety performance, and compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Eligibility will be determined based on driving record, safety incidents, and any disqualifying violations within defined timeframes.
