We are seeking an experienced, safety-first Class B CDL Driver to operate a commercial Water Tender for a local client in the Yreka area. Operating strictly on a night shift, you will be responsible for filling, transporting, and discharging massive water payloads to support local outland projects, wildfire suppression support, or rural infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities
  • Water Tender Operations: Safely operate a Class B commercial water tender (tanker truck), managing water levels and understanding the weight distribution of surging liquid loads.

  • Rigorous Safety Compliance: Conduct extensive pre- and post-trip DOT inspections, focusing heavily on tank baffles, valves, air brakes, tire traction, and high-powered night scene illumination. 
  • Autonomy & Communication: Maintain steady radio or digital contact with dispatch or field crews while working independently through the night in remote areas with spotty cell reception. 
Qualifications & Requirements
  • Licensing: Valid Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a Tank Endorsement (N) (Required).
  • Brake System: Air Brakes Endorsement (L) is mandatory due to the weight class of heavy water hauling rigs.
  • Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of commercial driving experience, ideally with heavy tankers or liquid surge management in rural, dark, or mountainous terrain.
  • Medical Clearances: Active DOT Medical Card.
  • Overnight Suitability: Exceptional night vision and proven stamina to maintain high focus during overnight shifts.
  • Physical Fitness: Ability to lift and pull heavy, muddy drafting hoses (up to 50–75 lbs) and work outdoors in dark, challenging weather conditions.

  • Premium Local Wages: Earn a guaranteed $30.00/hr.
