The role available is that of a Delivery Driver, which operates within the transportation and logistics sector of the company. The job is designed for individuals who are dedicated to efficient and safe delivery of goods to various customer locations with no designated sales territory and zero travel percentage beyond the assigned route.

Drivers assist with loading and palletizing products as required and must comply with safety regulations including pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections per Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines and company policies.

Drivers are expected to provide outstanding customer service by verifying delivered items, obtaining signatures, addressing customer concerns professionally, and liaising directly with management regarding discrepancies or errors in invoices. They must follow written safety rules and operate company vehicles responsibly. Physical demands are significant and include frequent lifting of products weighing up to 75 pounds, maneuvering products up ramps, stairs, and docks, and maintaining stamina to bend, reach, and twist during loading and unloading processes.
