Driver Requirements
Must park at the Nussbaum Terminal in Hudson, IL
Expect a lot of lifting. Every load is in-depth driver touch including tarping, load securement, flagging for oversize loads, etc. Thus no physical/medical restrictions and drivers must have the ability to lift heavier weights.
Attention to detail is a must for proper load securement.
Many open-deck loads will be oversize utilizing RGN and drop-deck trailers requiring appropriate permits and signage.
These positions are intended to be 100% flatbed, so will have little or no dry-van fill in.
May include some Canadian freight eventually so a passport and a very clean background may be required
