Plow Truck Driver

About the role

Earn strong winter pay behind the wheel of a plow truck, clear lots and driveways storm after storm, and turn one strong season into a shot at year‑round work. When the snow starts falling, you’ll already be rolling, working with a crew that counts on you to keep the community moving all winter.

Responsibilities

• Plow commercial lots, driveways, and roadways as soon as a storm hits.
• Prioritize “no‑tolerance” accounts, then complete the rest of the route.
• Push snow to designated areas, protecting curbs, islands, and pavement.
• Drive cautiously in tough conditions, safeguarding the truck, plow, and other road users.
• Perform pre‑ and post‑run checks and basic maintenance to keep the truck storm‑ready.
• Communicate continuously with the manager during events to ensure all sites are covered.

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license with a clean, insurable driving record (motor vehicle record reviewed).
• One to two years of plowing or commercial driving experience preferred; reliable, teachable drivers will be trained.
• Ability to work a seasonal winter role (approximately November through April) with on‑call storm response, including nights, weekends, holidays, and long shifts.
• Dependability to be the first called when a storm rolls in.
• Physical stamina to work long outdoor shifts in cold, snow, and ice while staying alert.
• CDL not required, but holders receive a pay raise and may operate larger trucks (over 26,000 lb).

Pay

• $32–$38 per hour, with a pay bump for CDL holders.
• Overtime paid at time‑and‑a‑half for hours over 40 in a week.
• Full‑time employees become eligible for additional benefits (401(k) with company match, health, dental, life, and disability insurance).

Benefits

• Uniforms and personal protective equipment provided.
• Potential transition to full‑time status with 401(k) match and health, dental, life, and disability coverage.
• Opportunity to move into summer roles such as lawn maintenance, landscaping, hardscape, or skid‑steer operation based on experience.
• Consistent plowing work with one of the largest snow and ice operations in the area.
• Well‑maintained trucks and plows, and a supportive crew.
• Family‑oriented company with 13 years in business where reliability is recognized.

Schedule

• Seasonal winter work from roughly November through April.
• On‑call storm response required, including nights, weekends, holidays, and extended shifts.
• Goal to clear properties within about 12 hours of a storm.
