Truck Driver; Axles

Delta Contracting always wants to connect with reliable and experienced CDL Truck Drivers. While we may not have an immediate opening today, we accept applications year-round for drivers with a Class A or B commercial driver’s license (CDL), particularly those experienced in dump truck operations and construction hauling.

If you’re looking for construction truck driver jobs in Tennessee in a respected construction company, we want to hear from you.

Delta Contracting works on major roadway and grading projects across West Tennessee, and that work depends on qualified drivers to keep materials and equipment moving in good order.

We understand that qualified truck drivers are essential to the success of every construction project, which is why we invest in building long‑term relationships with dependable drivers, even before a job opens up.

Truck drivers at Delta Contracting play a key role in every project. From hauling asphalt and aggregates to transporting equipment and supporting on‑site logistics, our drivers are critical to project success. You’ll work closely with foremen, operators, and field crews to ensure materials are delivered safely and on time.

Depending on the scope of the job, you might haul multiple loads per day or work more closely with a specific paving crew. Drivers are often asked to reposition materials around the job site, move between phases of a project, or ferry equipment between staging areas. The pace and tasks may change, but the job stays the same: be on time, stay alert, and keep things moving.

You’ll also be expected to handle basic vehicle inspections, log driving hours accurately, and communicate with dispatch or field supervisors regarding load timing and route changes. CDL truck drivers at Delta Contracting are more than just operators:
They’re essential contributors to a coordinated field effort.

We’re looking for professional drivers who know their way around the road and job sites. This is what we need from our applicants:

Valid Class A or B CDL:

You’ll need an active CDL with the correct classification for the trucks you’ll be driving. Most of our jobs require a Class A license, but we also have plenty of work for Class B drivers, especially those experienced in dump truck operation. If you’ve worked with multi‑axle equipment or heavier loads, please include that in your application.

Hands‑on Dump Truck

Experience:

This is not an entry‑level role. We’re looking for drivers who’ve spent time in the seat and know how to operate safely in paving or construction environments. That includes hauling asphalt, loading and dumping aggregates, navigating tight job sites, and backing up to pavers or spreaders.

Experience in different environments, such as rural, urban, or interstate, is helpful, especially when it comes to adapting to traffic controls, lane closures, or moving within live traffic zones.

Clean Driving Record and Current DOT Medical Card:

We check MVRs (Motor Vehicle Records) as part of the application process, and your DOT medical card needs to be valid.

Job Site Awareness and Communication

Skills:

Our drivers work side‑by‑side with foremen, heavy equipment operators, and field crews. That means staying alert, being able to follow signals or radio instructions, and knowing how to move safely through active construction zones. If you’ve worked on highway projects or other fast‑paced environments, you already understand the importance of this.

You should also be able to read and respond to changing conditions, such as flagged traffic patterns, soft shoulders, or equipment moving into your path.

Experience Hauling Construction Materials:

It’s helpful to have experience moving materials like stone, gravel, sand,…
