KENNERDELL, Pa. (EYT) – Bulk transportation company DTA has over 300 trucks on the road, and its looking for more drivers to keep that fleet moving.

Zack Wilson, the recruiter and human resources contact for DTA, said the company is very busy covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and New York. DTA hauls dry bulk materials and bulk liquids.

“We do a lot of gravel, aggregates, dirt, basically anything you can haul in a dump truck,” Wilson said.

“If people need dirt moved, coal for power plants, salt, we do it. We do different hauls for construction companies, like tar and chipping. We’ll bring their tanks back and forth for them.”

DTA has its people working in dedicated hauls, regional hauls, and spot work. The dedicated hauls support Scrubgrass Generating Plant by moving fuel and stone.

“We’re located close to Interstate 80 and Interstate 79,” Wilson added. “We’re in a good location to get to people.”

Getting to people requires drivers and mechanics. Wilson loves his job and believes that new employees will find the company one to grow with.

“I like interacting with drivers, helping people get jobs. We have friendly coworkers and a good support system. We have guys who have been here over 20 or 30 years, and we have a lot of people who have been here for seven or eight years.”

DTA offers health, dental, and vision insurance as well as short-term disability and life insurance. It also gives weekly paychecks and safety bonuses. One benefit, according to Wilson, is the trucks.

“Our fleet is late-model Peterbilt trucks. We like newer trucks for maintenance reasons, and you get some class with Peterbilts. Once a driver gets a truck, that’s their truck to use.”

DTA is looking for drivers with Class A and B CDL. They need to be over 25 with two years of driving experience and clean backgrounds.

“Our people like the equipment, being home every night, and the way dispatching works. Once they get settled in, it’s a relaxing job. The dispatcher helps you out. We offer a lot of stuff that maybe you don’t get at other companies.”

DTA has been around since 1998, and the parent company, McClymonds, has been in business for 75 years. People who are interested in working for DTA can apply on the company’s website or calling the main office at 724-352-3104.
