Your Class A CDL can lead to more than hauling freight from one dock to another.
At Capital Railroad Contracting, CDL A drivers help move the equipment, trailers, materials, and tools crews need to build, repair, and maintain railroad infrastructure.
You are not just delivering to the project. You are part of it.
What You’ll Do:
Some positions also include field support after the truck is parked.
Railroad construction is project-based rather than route-based.
You may work at rail yards, industrial facilities, bridges, crossings, private sidings, track construction sites, or emergency repair locations.
Projects change, and the crew goes where the work is.
This is a good fit for drivers who:
Not always.
Relevant experience may include:
Railroad procedures and terminology can be learned. The most important qualities are dependability, safety awareness, teamwork, and a willingness to learn.
Travel may include overnight stays, hotels, early starts, long workdays, changing schedules, and regional or nationwide assignments.
Drivers may also work outdoors, walk across uneven jobsites, handle securement equipment, and support active construction operations.
This may not be the right role for someone who wants the same route and schedule every day. For the right driver, the variety is part of the opportunity.
Safety does not stop when the truck leaves the highway.
Drivers must pay attention to:
Employees must have the proper license, endorsements, training, and authorization for their assigned equipment and worksite.
Ask yourself:
If the answer is yes, railroad construction may be a strong next step.
Capital Railroad Contracting builds, repairs, and maintains railroad infrastructure.
Our CDL A drivers help connect the yard, road, equipment, crew, and jobsite. Their work keeps projects supplied, organized, and moving.
Your CDL is not separate from the construction process.
It is part of building something.
No. Drivers support field projects and construction crews rather than primarily hauling freight between terminals.
Many positions include overnight travel, hotel stays, and changing project locations.
Not always. Construction, equipment transport, flatbed, agriculture, military, utility, and regional driving experience may transfer well.
Some positions combine commercial driving with equipment staging, inspections, securement, and other field support.
Capital Railroad Contracting is looking for dependable, safety-minded CDL A drivers who are willing to travel, work with a field crew, and take pride in doing the job right.
