Conklin Metal Industries | Charlotte, NC 28269

The job in plain terms: Drive. Deliver. Be home for dinner. That's it.

We're Conklin Metal Industries — a family-owned metals and HVAC Supply distributor that's been operating since 1874. Our Charlotte branch needs a dependable Class A driver who wants a consistent Monday–Friday schedule, typical hours of 7am–4pm, and a truck that sleeps in the yard — not you.

No OTR. No Sunday departures. No hotel rooms.

Where we're located

2111 Distribution Center Dr
Charlotte, NC 28269

Our Charlotte branch is at 2111 Distribution Center Drive in the Wilson Heights area — about 5 miles north of Uptown Charlotte, with quick access to both I-77 and I-85. It's a straightforward industrial corridor with no downtown traffic to fight, and easy highway access in multiple directions.
