Job Description
WS Thomas Transfer is a reputable and well-established transportation company with over 100 years of history in the industry. Known for its commitment to quality service and a family-focused work environment, WS Thomas has built a strong reputation as a reliable employer within the trucking and logistics sector. The company prioritizes the wellbeing and satisfaction of its drivers, creating a supportive atmosphere where drivers are valued members of the team. This long-standing company is rooted in tradition but also embraces modern logistics solutions and technology to ensure efficiency and safety in all its operations. The positive company culture and dedication to employee care have made WS Thomas a preferred employer for professional drivers looking for stability and a work-life balance.
The current opportunity is for CDL A Tanker Drivers to join the team, specializing in regional routes between Riverdale, IL, and Bolingbrook, IL. This position is ideal for drivers who value being home daily, as the routes run locally, allowing for a consistent schedule without long periods away from family. Drivers in this role will be responsible for safely operating tanker trucks carrying hazardous materials, requiring specific endorsements such as Tanker and Hazmat to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations.
In addition to an attractive pay rate of $30 per hour for first shift, WS Thomas offers a $2,500 sign-on bonus as a strong incentive for qualified drivers. The company ensures timely compensation through weekly direct deposit payments. Further enhancing the work experience, there are unique benefits like pet and rider programs allowing drivers to bring small pets or passengers on the road. Drivers also enjoy 24/7 professional dispatcher and truck maintenance support, which means assistance is always available to keep operations running smoothly. Additionally, drivers receive fuel cards and E-ZPass/Pre-pass access to streamline toll payments and fuel purchases.
Trucks are governed at 68 MPH to enhance safety, and a paid one-day orientation is provided where housing and travel expenses are covered, helping new hires transition smoothly into their roles. WS Thomas is keen on maintaining high safety standards and encourages candidates with a commitment to safe driving to apply.
