Dump Truck Driver Jobs in Nebraska

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.
