W.O. Grubb Crane Rental is a leading crane rental service provider headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Established in the 1960s, W.O. Grubb began with a simple yet powerful vision to deliver high-quality services, reliable equipment, skilled manpower, and outstanding responsiveness to its clientele. Over the decades, the company has evolved into one of the largest privately owned crane rental businesses in the nation with multiple locations serving Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and neighboring states. Known for its strong reputation in the construction and heavy equipment sectors, W.O. Grubb is dedicated to fostering safety, efficiency, and excellence in all its operations.
Currently, W.O. Grubb is seeking a dedicated CDL Class A Truck Driver specialized in heavy equipment hauling to join its Richmond, VA team. This full-time, hourly position offers competitive pay in the range of $25.00 to $35.00 per hour and reports directly to the Operations Manager. The role entails safely transporting cranes, heavy machinery, and other large equipment primarily using tractor-trailer combinations. The CDL Class A Truck Driver will be fundamentally responsible for ensuring the safe loading, securing, transport, and unloading of heavy equipment while complying with federal and state laws, including all Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements.
The role requires individuals who are committed to meticulous vehicle inspection and maintenance pre- and post- trip, maintaining accurate logs of working hours and vehicle status, and constantly adhering to safety protocols to mitigate risks on the road. Candidates must be prepared for extensive driving, including long hours spent sitting as well as frequent standing and moving activities associated with loading and unloading cargo.
Additionally, this position demands a keen understanding of routing logistics, with drivers utilizing GPS and other digital navigation tools to optimize fuel consumption and delivery efficiency. Candidates will also interact closely with dispatchers, managers, customers, and fellow drivers via CB radios and telephones to coordinate operations effectively.
The nature of the job might expose the driver to extreme external temperatures and fluctuating noise levels, necessitating the adaptation to working conditions while complying with all OSHA safety standards. Seasonal or holiday work may be required, adding some variability to the schedule.
W.O. Grubb emphasizes a culture of professionalism, punctuality, and courteous interactions, expecting employees to adhere strictly to the company dress code and uphold high standards in customer service. The company is fully committed to diversity and encourages applicants from all backgrounds, including those with criminal records, to apply.
