Truck Driver (Dripping Springs)
About The Position
Haul the steel that builds Texas. Every beam we raise rides on your trailer first. We’re looking for an experienced flatbed pro who chains, straps, and tarps a load the right way, runs a clean inspection every time, and takes pride in delivering steel safely — for a company that treats drivers like the professionals they are. Patriot offers steady steel freight, not load-board roulette, as you'll haul for our own shop and our own projects. Safety is value #1, and we run legal, maintain our equipment, and never push drivers past the rules. We offer benefits drivers rarely see, including free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, a 401(k) match, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship. Your experience leads, as you'll train and mentor new CDL drivers. Patriot is a stable, growing company with dual AISC certification and divisions across Texas.
