UGI Corporation • Scott Township, PA

About The Position

AmeriGas is hiring safety-minded, customer-focused Transport Drivers to haul propane in a tanker truck with an 11,400-gallon capacity. Drivers pick up propane at supply points such as refineries, pipeline terminals, and storage facilities, then deliver it to area AmeriGas facilities. The route typically involves four to five pickups and deliveries per day, an average of 500 miles of driving per day, and workdays of up to 14 hours. Approximately 80 percent of a driver’s time is spent driving or waiting at supply points. Occasional layovers may be required depending on the route.

Drivers connect terminal hoses to load propane and use hoses stored on the truck or attached to filling ports to unload it. Loading or unloading takes approximately 45 minutes. The position also includes twice-daily truck inspections and, at some facilities, climbing ladders to check gauges on top of bulk tanks. Compensation includes mileage pay of $0.7283 to $0.7383 per mile and a flat on-duty, non-driving hourly rate of $28 to $29, depending on relevant factors. Additional performance-based bonuses or sales commissions may be available depending on the position.
