The CDL Class A Driver - FAB 3 safely delivers fabricated structural steel, materials, and equipment from our Pleasant Grove shop to EZARC locations and customer job sites. This person drives flatbed and gooseneck combinations, secures heavy and oversized loads, and works with the shop, project managers, and field crews so steel arrives on time, undamaged, and in the right order for erection.

Why This Role Matters

Steel that arrives late, damaged, or out of sequence stops a field crew and a crane that is costing money by the hour. A load that shifts on the road puts the public at risk. This driver is the link between the shop and the job site, and often the face of EZARC that customers see first.

This role owns

• Pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and refusing to drive equipment that isn't safe.
• Load securement for every load before it leaves the yard.
• Hours of service, electronic logs, and required DOT records.
• Checking shipping paperwork against the load before departure.

This role escalates

• Loads that are over legal size or weight, or need permits, escorts, or a special route. These go to the supervisor before loading.
• Vehicle defects that take the truck or trailer out of service.
• Delivery delays, site access problems, or a load the customer won't accept.
• Any accident, citation, roadside inspection, or injury. Report it right away.

Drive and deliver

• Operate Class A combination vehicles safely and legally, including flatbed, gooseneck, and equipment trailers.
• Plan routes for load size, weight, and road conditions, including mountain roads and winter weather.
• Back, maneuver, couple, and uncouple trailers in tight yards and active construction sites.
• Deliver loads in the order the field crew needs them for erection.

Secure and inspect

• Secure loads to FMCSA cargo securement rules (49 CFR 393) using chains, binders, straps, edge protection, and tarps.
• Check load stability before departure and at required stops.
• Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections and a written vehicle inspection report (DVIR) every day.
• Report defects promptly and keep the truck and trailers clean and in good condition.

Records and compliance

• Keep hours of service on the electronic logging device (ELD) accurate and within federal limits.
• Verify bills of lading, delivery tickets, and packing slips against the load.
• Keep fuel, mileage, and inspection records complete.
• Follow DOT, FMCSA, Utah, and EZARC safety rules, including random drug and alcohol testing.

Teamwork

• Help load, unload, stage, and organize steel, using forklifts and cranes when trained and authorized.
• Communicate delivery times and problems with the supervisor, shop, project managers, and field crews.
• Represent EZARC professionally with customers and on job sites.

Required

• Valid Class A CDL with an acceptable motor vehicle record.
• Current DOT Medical Examiner's Certificate.
• Experience pulling and maneuvering trailers.
• Working knowledge of DOT cargo securement and hours-of-service rules.
• Ability to read delivery instructions, maps, and shipping documents.
• Ability to pass DOT pre-employment drug testing and an FMCSA Clearinghouse query.

Preferred

• 2 or more years of Class A driving experience.
• Flatbed and structural steel hauling experience.
• Experience with oversize or overweight permitted loads.
• Forklift certification, or willingness to become certified.
• Basic mechanical knowledge to spot equipment problems.

Must be able to perform these essential functions, with or without reasonable accommodation:

• Sit and drive for long periods.
• Climb on and off trailers and equipment safely.
• Lift, move, and secure materials up to 50 pounds regularly, including chains and binders.
• Stand, walk, bend, kneel, and reach often while securing loads.
• Work outdoors in all weather.

Time is split between the truck, the shop yard in Pleasant Grove, and customer job sites. Yards and sites are active, with cranes, forklifts, and heavy equipment moving nearby. Routes include highways, city streets, mountain roads, and winter conditions. PPE is required in yards and on job sites.

Full time. Mostly local and regional routes, home most nights. Occasional overnight trips to neighboring states. Early starts, overtime, and some weekend work may be needed based on project schedules.

This role is measured on safe driving, secure loads, on-time deliveries, and clean DOT records.
