Dump Truck Driver Jobs in Illinois

A Dump Truck Driver in the transportation industry is responsible for transporting loose materials for construction purposes, such as sand, gravel, or demolition waste. They operate heavy-duty trucks, adhere to safety regulations, and maintain truck equipment. They also inspect their vehicles for mechanical issues and perform minor repair work as needed. Crucially, they ensure that the contents they are transporting are loaded correctly and safely secured. Moreover, they may deliver materials to construction sites, landfill sites, or other destinations, following prescribed routes.
