Job Duties:

CalVan Driver: Worker is responsible for transporting workers between designated housing sites or pick-up points and assigned work sites. At the end of the workday, the driver returns workers to their original pick-up locations. This role requires a valid state-issued driver’s license and the ability to pass a Class B physical exam and register as an FLCE driver, with the employer covering these costs. All employees, both H-2A and domestic workers, have the voluntary opportunity to obtain a driver’s license and FLCE registration, but it is not a pre-hire requirement. No applicant will be denied employment or terminated for lacking these credentials. While driving, CalVan drivers are compensated for actual driving time, completing MSPA-related paperwork, refueling, and cleaning the vehicle. Outside of driving duties, they perform regular agricultural job tasks. Driver: The driving responsibility is integrated into the overall role of a farm laborer, with duties aligned to SOC Code 45-2092.00 (Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse). When not driving, drivers are expected to perform various agricultural tasks, including harvesting crops manually or with hand tools, sorting and packing products in the field, and weeding and thinning to maintain crop health and optimizing yield. Additional responsibilities include loading and unloading agricultural products or materials, operating tractors for fieldwork such as plowing, planting, or hauling, and performing basic machinery maintenance. Drivers may also assist with irrigation tasks, such as laying or repairing lines, monitoring water flow, and troubleshooting issues, while maintaining the cleanliness and organization of work areas. These combined duties ensure that drivers contribute effectively to the overall agricultural operations. Driving requirements: Drivers must comply with the motor carrier standards per 29 CFR 500.105. Minimum qualifications to be authorized to drive include physical requirements, a valid state-issued driver's license, a valid doctor’s certificate, and a background check, which includes fingerprints. The employer covers costs associated with the requirements such as exams and fingerprints.
