Frequently asked questions
In Santa Ana, employers especially appreciate a Class A or B CDL with Hazmat and Tanker endorsements due to local regulations and the nature of propane delivery. These certifications ensure drivers meet safety standards required for transporting hazardous materials around California.
Santa Ana's trucking job market is moderately competitive, with demand for commercial drivers influenced by the region’s industrial and residential propane needs. Compared to larger hubs like Los Angeles, Santa Ana offers more localized routes and steady employment, making it attractive for drivers seeking consistent schedules.
Truck Drivers, particularly those handling propane deliveries, need strong safety awareness, customer service aptitude, and the ability to manage vehicle inspections. Unlike general freight drivers, they must strictly adhere to DOT regulations related to hazardous materials and handle specialized loading and unloading procedures.
Drivers frequently navigate diverse weather conditions while managing heavy loads, which demands physical endurance and vigilance. Additionally, balancing timely deliveries with strict safety compliance and providing excellent customer service during interactions adds complexity to their daily routine.
Ferrellgas stands out by offering an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which is less common among trucking companies. This benefit allows drivers to gain a stake in the company’s success, alongside comprehensive healthcare, paid leave, and tuition reimbursement programs.
Ferrellgas emphasizes local routes ensuring drivers return home nightly, combined with an on-call system for emergencies. Their focus on propane delivery and customer interaction shapes a unique work environment, fostering community ties uncommon in long-haul or generalized trucking positions.
Starting pay is competitive at around $25.50 per hour, reflecting both the specialized nature of propane transport and local market rates in Santa Ana. Additional benefits and overtime opportunities can further enhance overall compensation in this role.
Candidates should be ready to lift up to 60 pounds regularly and work in varying weather conditions. The job requires stamina for securing loads, inspecting vehicles, and maintaining safety standards throughout the delivery routes.
Obtaining a Class A or B CDL with Hazmat and Tanker endorsements is essential. Prospective drivers typically complete state-approved training programs and pass written and driving exams. Accelerated courses in California focus specifically on hazardous material handling to meet Ferrellgas’s requirements.
Drivers must comply with California’s stringent DOT rules on hazardous materials, including secure load methods and vehicle inspections. Santa Ana’s municipal codes may also dictate specific delivery times and routes, ensuring safety and minimal disruption in residential areas.
