Paragon Logistics is seeking a dedicated XL Truck Driver Helper to support our transportation operations in Liberty, MO. This vital role ensures the safe and efficient handling of oversized loads, contributing directly to our reputation for reliable logistics solutions across the Midwest. By assisting experienced drivers, you'll play a key part in delivering time-sensitive shipments that keep our clients' businesses moving forward without interruption. As an XL Truck Driver Helper, your day-to-day tasks will revolve around hands-on support for heavy-duty trucking operations. You'll start each shift by inspecting the truck and trailer for safety compliance, securing tarps and chains on oversized cargo to prevent shifts during transit. Daily responsibilities include assisting with loading and unloading at warehouses and job sites, using jacks, straps, and dollies to maneuver heavy equipment safely. You'll collaborate closely with CDL drivers, flagging traffic during setups, and performing pre-trip and post-trip vehicle checks to document any issues. Weekly, you'll help maintain inventory logs, clean the truck interior and exterior, and assist in route planning for optimal delivery times. Monthly tasks may involve participating in safety training drills and equipment audits, ensuring all deliverables meet DOT regulations and company metrics for on-time performance exceeding 98%. Expect physical demands like lifting up to 70 lbs repeatedly and working in varying weather conditions, while coordinating with dispatch teams and warehouse staff for seamless handoffs. To qualify for this position, candidates must possess a valid driver's license and have at least one year of experience in trucking, warehousing, or construction environments handling oversized loads. A high school diploma or GED is required, along with familiarity with FMCSA safety standards and basic rigging techniques. Preferred qualifications include a Class A CDL permit or willingness to obtain one, OSHA forklift certification, and knowledge of hazardous materials handling protocols. No formal degree is necessary, but proven physical stamina and a clean driving record are non-negotiable for insurance compliance. Success in this role demands a blend of technical proficiency and interpersonal strengths. You'll need hands-on skills with securing loads using binders, winches, and synthetic straps, plus operation of basic material handling equipment. Soft skills such as strong teamwork, clear communication for coordinating with drivers and site personnel, and a safety-first mindset are essential. Physical fitness for demanding fieldwork, problem-solving under pressure, and attention to detail for accurate logging will set you apart in our fast-paced logistics environment.
