About The Role
Rockport Commercial is looking for a highly skilled Class 1 Driver to haul various material and equipment for our active projects. The Class 1 Driver will be responsible for navigating between and directly on our active multi-family apartment construction sites.

Key Responsibilities
- Transport materials and equipment between our active multifamily apartment construction sites.
- Ensure loads are properly secured using straps and/or chains depending on what is being hauled while following load securement rules and regulations.
- Meticulously navigate through rough terrain, mud, hills, and tight urban job sites.
- Expertly operate manual transmission trucks without riding the clutch or grinding gears.
- Follow and abide by all road laws and rules, weight rules, and Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) rules.
- Coordinate closely with site spotters and heavy equipment operators to position the truck perfectly for loading and unloading.
- Conduct daily pre- and post-trip safety inspections—checking brakes, tires, and fluids—while documenting results and performing basic preventative maintenance to ensure the truck is safe and site-ready.
