CDL/Rigger Hybrid Role
About The Position
SimsHD is looking for experienced CDL Drivers who want to be part of a professional heavy-haul and machinery moving team. This role requires precision, teamwork, and pride in execution. The right candidate understands that moving oversized and industrial equipment safely requires both driving skill and jobsite capability. This role is ideal for drivers who enjoy being part of the entire operation — transporting, rigging, and delivering complex projects safely and professionally. As a CDL Driver / Rigger, you will support both the transportation and field execution of specialized equipment moves. This is a hands-on operational role, not a “drop-and-go” driving position. Most work is local or short-distance, and overnight travel is rare.

- Proven truck driving experience with a focus on commercial driving and route delivery
- Familiarity with operating manual transmission trucks and various trailer types including refrigerated, flatbed, tanker, dump truck, and roll-off trucks
