Position at a Glance
What Makes This Driver Position Different
Malin's drivers do much more than operate a tractor-trailer. You will be responsible for each equipment move from beginning to end.
You will inspect the equipment, load it using a forklift, determine the proper securement method, transport it safely, remove the securement and unload it at the destination. This position is best suited for an experienced driver who is comfortable working independently, operating equipment and taking full ownership of every delivery.
