About The Position

Now hiring Class A CDL HAZMAT Drivers for our Safford, AZ terminal! This position requires drivers to load, transport, and deliver products, including sulfuric acid and ammonium nitrate products in pneumatic and tanker trailers to various mines and aggregate sites throughout Arizona and New Mexico. Drivers are typically home daily and run local and regional routes. Acid operations are outside in the elements and require a chemical resistant acid suit, rubber gloves, rubber boots, a full-face respirator, and any other required PPE to be worn at all times while in a “Hot Zone”. In addition, having to wear a full-face respirator for specific tasks, also requires that you are clean-shaven daily. Drivers are responsible for completing thorough pre-and post-trip inspections. This position may require wearing PPE (personal protective equipment), lifting up to 70 pounds, climbing, and working in elevated locations. We operate 24/7/365. Work schedules vary, depending on business needs. Load assignments are given based on hours of service available. Commodities vary by the terminal. Tractors are dedicated, trailers are shared and slip-seating may be expected. This is a safety-sensitive position.
