info
  • This role involves operating a heavy-duty truck-tractor to support the Welfare Self-Reliance Department and General Church across the U.S. and Canada.
  • Candidates are expected to have at least 1 year of driving experience and must comply with Department of Transportation regulations.
  • The position requires safe over-the-road driving, daily vehicle inspections, and adherence to Federal Hours of Service guidelines.
  • Compensation is based on a piece rate for miles and stops, with additional responsibilities for loading, unloading, and vehicle maintenance.
  • Only members of the Church who are worthy of a temple recommend qualify for employment in this role.

This role helps to foster self-reliance, care for those in need, and provide opportunities for giving and service by: helping members become economically and emotionally self-reliant; providing access to essential food and clothing items, helping members prepare for and respond to disasters; and providing humanitarian aid to relieve suffering; thus furthering the mission of the Church.

 

Under direction of the driver manager, and in compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, the incumbent operates a heavy-duty truck-tractor with semi-trailer hauling commodities for the Welfare Self-Reliance Department and General Church throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Duties include: Driving over-the-road (OTR) in a safe manner by conducting daily vehicle inspections, performing simple maintenance, completing safety training, pre-planning routes, following all traffic laws, and working within Federal Hours of Service guidelines to deliver on-time. OTR drivers travel far from the home terminal for multiple days and may be deployed to help in disaster areas for extended weeks to distribute emergency response supplies. They are paid piece rate for miles and stops; are responsible for their own meals and hygiene items; and sleep in their tractor. Expectations include loading and unloading trailers; refueling and cleaning the vehicle; finding ways to maximize payloads; and conserving resources such as diesel fuel. They serve as company advocates and church ambassadors in every interaction with customers and the public.


Church employees find joy and satisfaction in using their unique talents and abilities to further the Lord’s work. From the IT professional who develops an app that sends the gospel message worldwide, to the facilities manager who maintains our buildings— giving Church members places to worship, teach, learn, and receive sacred ordinances—our employees seek innovative ways to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. They are literally working in His kingdom.
Only members of the Church who are worthy of a temple recommend qualify for employment. Apart from this, the Church is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in its employment decisions on any basis that would violate U.S. or local law.
Qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, national origin, color, gender, pregnancy, marital status, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or other legally protected categories that apply to the Church. The Church will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities.
