Class 1 Driver - Multi-Day Canada & USA Routes
BARRIERBOSS Fencing Ltd.We're a fencing manufacturer, not a freight company. That changes the job more than you'd think. Every panel on your deck came out of our own shop here in BC. You're not hauling somebody else's freight, you're not waiting on a broker, and you're not sitting at a strange dock all afternoon wondering when they'll get to you. You load our product, run a planned route, and deliver it to the customer's place — in Canada and in the States. Straight up about the schedule: these are multi-day runs. We're not going to dress this up. You'll be out for several days at a stretch, and the long US loops are longer than that. If you want to be home every night, this isn't the seat — and we'd rather tell you now than have you find out in week two. What we will tell you is that the trip is planned before you leave. You'll know the stops, the order they come in, and roughly how many days you'll be gone. Nobody gets handed a two-week trip on a Tuesday afternoon, and nobody gets rerouted at midnight because a broker moved something. We run the same loops every time. The trucks Anything from a Ram 5500 up to a Kenworth T800. What you're in depends on the run — some days it's the big truck, some days it's something lighter and easier to get down a residential street. You won't be in the same truck every day. Where you'll go — both sides of the border You'll run out of our West Kelowna yard on planned routes through: Western Canada — British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. United States — Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The US work is a real part of this job, not the odd trip. If you've been looking for cross-border running with a company that actually plans it properly, this is it. The shorter runs — Alberta and the Prairies, or down into Washington and Oregon. Still a few days out. The long hauls — the big US loop through California, the Rockies and the Southwest. Same regions, same stops, same roads. You'll know where you're going before you turn the key. A normal run Load up at our yard in West Kelowna Head out on a planned multi-stop route, several days at a time Get the panels off and placed on the customer's property at each stop Circle checks before and after Keep your logs straight on both sides of the border Stay in touch with dispatch — we're easy to reach and we answer Be decent with the customer. You're usually the only person from our company they ever meet Why drivers stay here We build what you haul. No broker in the middle and no guessing what's on the trailer. If something's not right with the load, the people who made it are right here. The route's planned before you leave. Our dispatch runs the same loops every time, so the trip you're told about is the trip you get. You place it properly. It doesn't get left at the end of the driveway. You set it down where the customer actually wants it, while they're standing there watching. That's the whole reason we run our own trucks instead of hiring it out. There's somewhere to go from here. We're putting more specialised trucks into the fleet, and we train our own people to run them. Get good on the road with us and you'll get first crack at that — paid, on our equipment, on our time. The equipment's looked after. You shouldn't have to fight your truck to get through a shift.
