The Application Process
Applying
You can apply with us online at the link above on the page or by clicking here. Once you apply, please wait for our office to contact you. Do not call or continue to submit subsequent application. Doing so may disqualify your job application. Once your application is approved, you will move forward as a job candidate you will be sent a skill assessment.
Assessment
The next step in the application process will be a skill assessment for the division(s) you're applying to work with. These assessments will gauge your understanding of the duties which come with that position. Once your assessment is completed, please do not retake the assessment again. We will review your results and reach out to you if we feel our company will be a good fit for your skills. Please do not call our office, we will call you if you meet the qualifications we are looking for.
Interview
After you submit your application, we will review it. If we feel our company would potentially be a good fit for you, you will be asked to come in for an interview. We do interviews most Fridays at 8am. Please bring your ID and Social Security card with you. After being interviewed, you will usually know if you are hired immediately. If you are hired, you will go ahead and watch the training videos that day. This takes a few hours, so plan to have most of the day to spend here.
First Day on The Job
What to do after you get hired and it's time to go to work.
Getting ready for work
The most important thing to bring to work each day is a good supply of water. Bringing a gallon jug of water or more is NOT overkill, especially in the summer. You will be going through A LOT of water everyday. In summertime, you are soaked in sweat from the time you set foot on the yard to the time you pull out of the gate to go home. Drink plenty of water beforehand as well. In summertime, a cooler and a bag of ice is provided for each truck, but crew members must bring their own drinks. Do NOT drink caffeinated drinks! They will dehydrate you more!
Bring everything you need to beat the heat. The heat is not something to underestimate. Guys have had to go to the hospital before due to heat exhaustion, dehydration, etc. You can pack a backpack with everything you need and keep it with you in the truck. Here are some essential items to have with you each day:

You may also want to consider bringing other supplies to fight the heat.
In the middle of summer when you are out all day with the sun constantly beating down on you, investing in a wide-brim hat with a neck shade will make life much more pleasant for you. The shade it provides will be your best friend at 3:00 P.M. on a day in late July when it's 110 degrees with 100% humidity. |

Arriving on the Yard
You need to be at work and clocked in by 7:00am. When you arrive on the yard the first day of work, park your vehicle in front of the office or around back, but not inside the fenced area where the work trucks are parked. Go to the front office and make sure all your paperwork is in order. If you haven't been issued a time card yet, let someone know so they can get you one and show you how the time clock works. If you have not been given a company t-shirt, let the office know you need one. We keep most sizes in stock at the shop. Change into your Real Turf t-shirt in the restroom then head out back to the truck yard and ask around for Terry or John to figure out which crew you'll be on today. If you can't find them right away, get with some of the guys you see loading up trucks with equipment and ask them what you can help them with while you wait to see what crew you're with.
Don't let John or Terry find you standing around when everyone else is working. If for some reason you can't find anything to do, the go-to busywork on the truck yard is picking up trash and tossing it in the dumpster.
