📝 Hiring Process
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many loads do drivers typically run per day?
Most drivers complete 8–14 loads per shift depending on plant queue times and job site efficiency. Asphalt loads require faster turnaround to keep material hot.
Is overtime available in this position?
Yes. Overtime is common during peak construction seasons on I-95 and I-10 projects when paving crews need extended material supply.
What type of trailers are primarily used?
End-dump and belly dump combinations. Drivers must be comfortable with both for different aggregate and asphalt applications.
Are there frequent dock or plant delays?
Wait times at quarries and asphalt plants vary with demand. Dispatch works to minimize downtime but seasonal volume affects queue lengths.
Do drivers handle any loading or unloading?
Primarily no-touch at plants with site dumping. Drivers operate the dump controls at construction locations where material is spread immediately.
What are the typical shift start and end times?
Shifts usually begin 4:30–6:00 AM with returns to the Jacksonville yard in the afternoon or early evening depending on load volume.
