CDL Driver

Haul, Help the Crew, Run New Trucks, Stay Local, and Get Paid for Your Whole Day

About Watson Excavating Inc.

We’re a third-generation earthwork contractor with deep roots and long-term partners who trust our work. As a small, hands-on team, we stay close to the field. You’ll often see the owners on site running equipment and pitching in with the crew. Our projects range from commercial and residential to agricultural work, covering clearing, demolition, grading, utilities, and paving prep.

How You'll Get To Contribute

Support the growing team by operating Class A trucks for hauling and transport, and work with the crew when the truck is parked. Our drivers might haul fill for a few days, then haul stone the next day and help place it in the ditch. Perfect for the driver who likes to stay busy and have a real hand in projects. What You'll Get To Do

• Keep material and excavation equipment moving safely by operating tri-axle, tandem, and single axle dump trucks, 20 and 25 ton tag trailers, 55 ton lowboy, 100 cy walking floor, and dump trailers
• Own the job of securing each load and hauling high-value equipment with the kind of responsibility that ensures safe, damage-free transport
• Protect the crew’s schedule and the company’s equipment budget by maintaining trucks, keeping them tidy, and reporting damage daily
• Back up the field team with spotting, loading/unloading, and labor

Typical Schedule: M-F, 6:30 - 5:30, year round

Who You Are

• You have a valid Class A CDL, up-to-date DOT medical card, and a clean driving record
• You’ve spent 3+ solid years in a tri-axle dump truck
• You handle equipment and trucks with the kind of care that comes from knowing you may have three-quarters of a million dollars of new iron on the line
• You’d rather jump in with the crew than sit in the cab, and you like the camaraderie that comes from being part of the work, not parked beside it
• You take safety seriously and live in a way that makes random drug and alcohol tests a non-issue

Even Better But Not Required

• You have heavy haul lowboy equipment moving experience
