The position demands performing detailed safety inspections both before and after trips, reporting any vehicle issues, and ensuring correct freight loading and unloading.

In addition to driving, responsibilities include verifying product counts against invoices, completing accurate paperwork, loading returns, collecting payments if required, and maintaining cleanliness of equipment and trailers. The driver will also keep detailed logs of hours of service, perform general housekeeping duties around the truck and loading dock, and exhibit teamwork within the company’s department. This multifaceted role blends physical activity with critical operational tasks and professional customer interaction, requiring a reliable, safety-conscious, and service-oriented individual.
