CDL Driver - Haines, United States - Alaska Mountain Guides
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionSalary: $18-23 DOE + tipsHAINES CDL DRIVER JOB DESCRIPTION
TIMEFRAME: April - October
QUALIFICATIONS: Must currently hold a Class B CDL with Passenger and Airbrakes endorsement
A CDL Driver's main responsibility is to carry out the company's mission of providing passengers with a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience. A CDL Driver will drive guests in buses on a series of trips which travel around to local attractions, visit outdoor recreation sites, stop at museums and take scenic drives as far as the summit of Chilkat Pass. Most tours are staffed with a 'Spieler' guide who escorts the guests through the entire tour, narrates during the drives, and is responsible for overall guest experience. A CDL driver is expected to help with some of the logistical aspects of the tour such as taking and counting tickets, helping to set up and take down the lunches, escorting guests to the restrooms, etc.
FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION COMPLIANCE
Alaska Mountain Guides Adventures, Inc. (AMGA) and its sister companies comply with all applicable federal laws regarding CDL drivers and CDL operations. FMCSA regulations and AMGA's own policies and procedures ensure that our guests will receive the highest quality tours possible in terms of bus transportation safety. As a result of federal regulations, each Haines CDL Driver will be required to participate in an approved random drug testing program and be required to complete and maintain some paperwork in addition to the regular employee paperwork for all other employees.
REQUIREMENTS
JOB DUTIES
PROFESSIONALISM
AMG employees represent the company whether they are working with clients packing in the warehouse, or off the clock and hanging in town. AMG expects employees to always conduct themselves in a professional manner and provide a leading example in the community for the type of behavior associated with the quality guide service that employs them. We live and work in small Alaskan communities, poor/inappropriate behavior will quickly establish a bad reputation for an individual and reflect poorly on the company as a whole.
LIVING SPACE AND RENT STRUCTURE
Haines housing options consist of our employee campground, we have a few campers/RVs for senior staff, and limited space for employees seeking to bring their own campervans/trailers/RVs, most 1st year staff camp in the wooded area encircling the campers/RV parking. The campground has (4) plumbed bathroom/shower units and a communal cooking area – due to the presence of bears in our area we prohibit cooking/food storage outside the communal cooking space. The campground is located on the same lot as our warehouse/office making the commute to work convenient for any staff planning to come to Alaska without a vehicle. There is a laundromat located within a short walk down the street. A guide room is located on the corner of the warehouse with access to company WiFi.
