If you want to do work that matters at a company that notices, this is the place.**Why This Role Matters**Every delivery you make is a promise kept. When a contractor is mid-job and waiting on wire, conduit, or gear, your truck showing up on time is what keeps the project moving. That is not a small thing. That is the whole thing.At Shepherd, drivers are not just logistics — they are the last mile of a commitment we have made to every customer. You carry Shepherd’s reputation on every run. How you show up, communicate, and take care of the load is how our customers experience us.**Work Shift and Hours:*** Monday - Friday, 6:00am - 2:30pm**Compensation Details:*** The expected pay rate for this position is starting between $25.00 - $27.00 per hour depending on experience.**How This Role Connects to Our Compass****We Keep Our Promises:** You deliver what was promised, when it was promised. Routes are run on time, loads are complete and correct, and customers never have to call wondering where their material is. If something changes, you communicate early — not after the fact.**We Stay Hungry:** You know your routes, stay sharp on DOT compliance, and look for ways to make your runs more efficient. You ask questions, take feedback, and bring problems forward so they get solved — not ignored.**We Grow Together:** You work as part of a warehouse and dispatch team.
