Job description

Local Class A or B Hazmat Driver (Night Shift) - 100% Paid Benefits & Employee-Owned!
Location: Concord, CA
Route Type: Local / Wet-Hose Fuel Delivery (Home Daily)
Stop just driving for a company. Start driving for your company. At Pacific States Petroleum, Inc. (PSPI), you aren't just a driver-you're an owner. We are a 100% Employee-Owned company, which means every safely driven mile and satisfied customer helps build your own long-term wealth.
Since starting with a single fuel truck in Pleasant Hill back in 2001, we've grown into a premier on-site fueling provider for California and Reno. We did that by delivering unparalleled customer service and giving a real voice to our team members. If you're looking for a permanent home where you are respected, invested in, and taken care of, you've found it.
The Schedule (Built for the Night Owl):
  • Dedicated Night Shift
  • Why this shift rocks: Say goodbye to gridlock, road rage, and daytime delays. Working the night shift means wide-open roads, empty job sites that make maneuvering a rig a breeze, and unparalleled independence. Plus, doing physical wet-hose work in the cool night air beats the daytime heat! If you love maximum autonomy and owning the night, this is your perfect route.

Your Unbeatable Total Rewards Package: We know your hourly rate is only part of the equation. Our benefits package is designed to keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket:
  • Zero-Cost Healthcare: 100% Company-Paid Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance for employees. (Think about how much you'll save on premium deductions each month!)
  • Be an Owner: 100% Employee Owned & Operated. You build equity in the company just by doing your job.
  • Retirement Ready: 401(k) with an automatic 3% company contribution after your first 6 months.
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and you are home daily.
  • Extra Perks: Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Voluntary Benefits available (Short-Term/Long-Term Disability, Accident Plan).

What You'll Be Doing: As a Wet-Hose Fuel Delivery Driver, you are the trusted face of PSPI, providing specialized fuel delivery (diesel, unleaded, propane) directly to customer locations while the rest of the city sleeps.
  • Prep the region for tomorrow: Safely execute wet-hose fueling for heavy equipment and generators on-site so they are fueled and ready to go for the morning crews.
  • Command your rig: Operate our semi-trucks safely in compliance with all DOT, state, and federal transportation laws.
  • Own the process: Manage your delivery documentation (invoices, shipping bills of lading) and provide elite customer service.
  • Fleet Care: Facilitate routine service checks on your truck (oil, water, air) and partner with our Shop Supervisor to keep your equipment in peak condition.
  • Team Player: Perform other related duties as assigned to help the team win.

What You Need to Get Behind the Wheel:
  • Valid Class A or Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
  • Required Endorsements: Hazardous Materials (Hazmat), Tanker, and Air Brakes.
  • A clean DMV driving record.
  • Physical ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs and perform the active duties of wet-hose delivery.
  • Ability to read general street and city maps to navigate routes efficiently.
  • TWIC Card (Must have currently or be able to obtain within 3 months of employment-we can help guide you!).

Ready to trade traffic jams for wide-open roads? Apply today and let's get you behind the wheel as an owner at PSPI!
Direct applicants only. We do not accept unsolicited resumes from third-party recruiters, staffing agencies, or search firms.
