Since 1952, truck drivers and the mechanics that fix equipment have been the lifeblood of Staker Parson Materials & Construction. That hasn't changed in 2022, and the company is looking for hard workers to join its team.
Currently, there are openings for ready-mix drivers, dump truck and belly dump, transport trucks and more. Some drivers operate at the same pit or quarry moving material within our locations, and others work out of a variety of locations, visiting multiple job sites and projects every day. Asphalt, aggregate, concrete – you name it, there is probably a need for someone to haul it.
Here's why you should drive for Staker Parson
Home after every shift: Staker Parson only hauls locally. Even when evening or weekend shifts are required, you will be home to your family after every shift. Paid time off and holidays are also provided.
Top-of-the-line equipment: Newer-model trucks are equipped with an air cab suspension, giving you a smooth ride and less stress on your back and joints.
Using technology for smooth operations: Staker Parson uses tablets and other technology for record-keeping and communication. Staker Parson drivers can clock in, perform pre-trip inspections, record hours of service and keep track of jobs, all from a tablet provided by the company. This makes life easier for drivers.
Variety of jobs: For most jobs, you'll drive a short distance, then have an opportunity to get out, stretch your legs and chat with the operational team or customers – no sitting for hours on end!
Local dispatch: The Staker Parson dispatch team is local, and you'll probably see them almost daily. Many of them are also former drivers, which helps them adjust schedules for optimal workloads.
Staker Parson drivers drive: Cleaning, fuel and fluid are the extent of your maintenance responsibilities as a driver. The company hires mechanics to perform the rest!
Industry-leading pay: Starting and future wages based on experience and skills added through training. Structured performance reviews and raises and incentives are also part of your compensation
Mechanics also needed
Staker Parson is always looking for great mechanics to work on our trucks and other heavy equipment. Chris Miller, a shift foreman in one of the Staker Parson shops, started with the company 10 years ago.
"I left my last employer because there wasn't much to do. Staker Parson is stable and we keep busy," he said. "I've learned great leadership skills. It's improved my family life, as well as my financial stability."
Staker Parson runs a variety of large machinery every day – yellow iron, heavy equipment, ground transportation vehicles, crushers, asphalt plants – and it is hiring mechanics. Experience is preferred, but the company is always willing to invest and train the right people.
Most company mechanics work during the day, but there are also some swing and night shifts. Starting and future wages are based on experience and skills added through training. Structured performance reviews and raises and incentives are also part of your compensation.
For Staker Parson, it's about using all it has achieved to make things better, not just about making better things. Donating building materials to memorials, Habitat for Humanity and local schools are just a few examples of the tangible good Staker Parson does in the communities it serves.
