Drivers may occasionally assist with loading trucks, palletizing products, and performing other duties assigned by supervisors or managers. The position is customer-facing, making excellent communication, problem-solving skills, and professionalism essential. Drivers must verify deliveries, manage discrepancies, and maintain communication with management and customers to ensure satisfaction and operational efficiency.
