CDL A Truck Driver
About The Position
AmeriGas is hiring safety-minded, customer-focused Transport Drivers to operate tanker trucks with an 11,400-gallon capacity. Drivers pick up propane at supply points such as refineries, pipeline terminals, and storage facilities and deliver it to area AmeriGas facilities. The role involves approximately four to five pickups and deliveries per day, an average of 500 miles of driving daily, and working up to 14 hours per day. Approximately 80 percent of a driver's time is spent driving or waiting in line at a supply point. Occasional route-based layovers may be required. Drivers connect terminal hoses to pump propane into the tanker and use permanent or truck-stored hoses to unload it. Loading or unloading takes approximately 45 minutes. Duties also include inspecting the truck twice daily and, at some facilities, climbing ladders to check gauges on top of bulk tanks. The position offers compensation per mile and an hourly wage for on-duty, non-driving time.
