CDL Driver/Rigger

Location: Sparks, NV

Job Type: Full-Time

Pay: $28.00–$31.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Schedule: Monday – Friday | Local Work | Home Daily

Lawson Drayage is looking for a Class A Driver/Rigger to join our Nevada Division. This position combines local commercial driving with hands-on rigging and machinery moving. You will work as part of a team to safely load, transport, unload, and relocate customers' machinery, equipment, and materials.

This is a local driving position with no long-haul routes, overnight routes, or extended travel. You’ll be home every night.

What We're Looking For: Someone who has a valid Class A CDL, is dependable, safety-focused, and comfortable with a hands-on position that involves more than driving. Experience with rigging, forklifts, load securement, and machinery moving is preferred, but we provide on-the-job training to help employees develop their skills.
