accepting applications." Two actual open seats, and nobody on deck for either
one.
This one is written for the guy who already came home. Maybe you ran over the
road for years and got tired of four nights a week in a bunk in another state.
Maybe you never left and you have been on a route, a dump truck, a delivery
truck, whatever was open. Either way it pays nineteen, twenty, twenty two, and
on a slow week or a rained out week you eat it.
You did the right thing and you took a pay cut for it. You should not have
had to.
NOT THAT DRIVING JOB.
Whatever you are picturing when somebody says CDL, this is not it.
No 34 hour reset in a truck stop parking lot. No four nights a week in a bunk in
another state. No dispatcher three time zones away who has never seen your face.
No load board, no deadhead, no sitting six hours at a receiver waiting on a
door. And no scanner counting your seconds across two hundred stops.
You are home for dinner. Every night. You get up early, you put in a full day,
and the week you just worked is a real week instead of whatever the freight
happened to hand you.
$200 - $350 A DAY
Around $200 a day while you train, plus overtime, same as everybody else.
Training usually takes about two weeks. Sooner if you
have run a concrete truck before. Your trainer decides when you are ready to
run on your own.
Then $23 - $26/hr, 10 to 12 hour days, plus overtime
$1,150 to $1,560 a week at 50 to 60 hours once you are running on your own,
before overtime
Home every single night
THE HOURS ARE THE POINT. Not the catch. Every ad in this trade says
"home daily" and not one of them tells you how long the day is, because they do
not want you to know. Here it is: 10 to 12 hours, and the hours past forty are
overtime.
That is also how this job gives you a real 40-plus hour week instead of getting
sent home at noon. If you are on a dump truck or a seasonal seat, you already
know a $22 hour means nothing on a week you only got 26 of them. Here the week
is the week.
WHERE THE RATE GOES. Once training is done you start at $23 to $26, depending on what you bring.
The majority of our drivers are at $25 to $26 and up, and that is not a someday
promise, that is where the people here actually are.
TAKE CARE OF IT.
Take care of our trucks, take care of our customers, and we take care of you.
That is the whole deal here and it is not a poster on a break room wall. The
people on that jobsite have never met anybody else from this company, so for
that hour you are all of us. Show up when you said you would.
Do that and you will find out this place holds up its end. The hours are there.
The rate moves. Somebody picks up the phone when you are sitting at a gate that
is not ready. Nobody here is looking for a reason to write you up. We are trying
to keep you.
CDL REQUIRED. This is not a trainee-from-scratch job. You need a Class B or
Class A CDL in hand to apply. Class B is enough. Most drivers assume concrete
needs an A. It does not. If you have an A it works too, you are just over
licensed for the seat.
A DAY IN THE LIFE.
So you know exactly what you would be saying yes to.
You are in before light. Tablet pre trip in the yard, then you load.
Then you drive, and you drive a lot, and you drive alone. Up the ladder, down
the ladder, in and out of the cab all day.
You are the company on that jobsite. You will talk to English speaking and
Spanish speaking crews in the same week. Spanish helps. It is not a requirement
and most of our drivers do not speak it.
You back into places most drivers would not attempt. Muddy cuts between two
houses, six feet on both mirrors, on ground nobody has graded yet.
Then chutes, wash the truck down, go home. Every night.
WHERE YOU WOULD RUN:
- Lake side lots off NC-73 with six feet on both mirrors and a homeowner
watching from the kitchen window
- Driveways, footings and slabs around Lincolnton, Denver and Mount Holly
- Red clay after a rain, on ground nobody has graded yet
A NEW JOB EVERY DAY. Almost. Big commercial pours go in early. Residential runs
later in the morning and into the afternoon. One day is a warehouse pad with a
pump on site and trucks lined up behind you. The next is one driveway with a
homeowner watching from the window. It is not a route and it is not the same
twenty two stops and the same receiving guy.
WHY OUR DRIVERS STAY.
Ask around and you get the same two answers every time. The hours, because the
day starts early and it is a full one, and a full week is the entire point of
having a job. And the company, because it is small enough that the person
running your day knows your name and your truck number, and when you need
something you talk to a person instead of a portal.
We have drivers fifteen years into this. Every one of them has had a hundred
chances to go do something else.
WHAT YOU WOULD DRIVE. Our truck, not yours. Nothing to lease, nothing to
finance, nothing to fuel, nothing to maintain out of your pocket. Rear discharge
and front discharge mixers, some CNG. If you have run one kind and not the
other, that is normal and it is not a problem.
W-2, NOT 1099. We take the taxes out. If you are 1099 right now you already
know what April feels like, and you already know $22 on a 1099 is not $22.
THE ACTUAL BENEFITS. Not "competitive package." Here is the list:
- Health, dental, vision and life insurance
- 401k, matched 50 cents on the dollar up to 5%
- 7 paid holidays
- Uniforms provided
- PTO: one week after your first year, two weeks after your second
That last one is thin in year one and I am telling you anyway, instead of
writing "generous PTO policy." Everything else on that list is true too.
FUEL IS ON US.
Diesel is $6.28 a gallon. That is the national average as of this week, it is an
all-time record, and it is up about 68 percent in twelve months. If you own your
truck, or you are on a 1099, or you are just filling up a pickup to get to work,
you already know exactly what that has done to your month.
You drive our truck. We buy the fuel. We do the maintenance. Your check is your
check.
NOW THE TRUCKING PART.
If you are in a truck right now you already know most of this. Trucking
employment is at an eight year low. Spot rates fell again in August, the
steepest August drop on record, in the same month diesel hit a record high.
Rates down, fuel up, surcharge always late.
Concrete around here went the other way. North Carolina added more construction
jobs last year than every state but two. Mecklenburg County has billions in data
center work planned and York County just landed a $1.5 billion plant.
Somebody has to pour all of it. That is why we are hiring, and it is why this
seat is still here in February when a lot of driving jobs are not.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- Class B or Class A CDL, current
- Can do a 4 to 5 AM start consistently
- Can work a 10 to 12 hour day
- Clean driving record
- Comfortable working outside in all conditions
- Shows up
THE PARTS NOBODY ADVERTISES:
- No sign on bonus. We do not have one.
- We do not pay for anybody's CDL. You need the card first.
- 10 to 12 hours is a real day, and you are in and out of the cab for all of it.
Up the ladder, down the ladder, mud on your boots when it rains.
- You drive alone. No helper, no second seat. Most guys end up loving that part.
- The load is on a clock, so the day ends when the pour is done and not at a
time somebody picked in advance.
None of that is us trying to talk you out of it. It is what you would find out
in week two anyway, and we would rather you hear it from us now.
SEATS OPEN RIGHT NOW.
We are hiring at this plant and at two more of ours close by. You pick the
one closest to you on the form and we will tell you straight whether there is
a seat there.
WHO WE ARE.
No sales pitch. A family owned ready mix concrete company running five plants
across the Charlotte area and into South Carolina, and we are adding more.
We are not putting the company name in a Craigslist ad. You get it on the first
phone call, along with anything else you want to ask.
