Job Description

Ole is a dedicated company specializing in the production of authentic Mexican-inspired products with a steadfast commitment to quality and freshness. Their mission revolves around delivering the finest tortillas and related items that bring wholesome, fun, and authentic eating experiences to families, aiming to earn a place literally at the dinner table of their customers. The company values tradition and authenticity, combining it with high-quality standards in food production. Ole prides itself on creating products that embody true Mexican flavors while ensuring that every item that leaves their facility meets strict freshness criteria. As a business deeply rooted in food production and distribution, Ole also focuses on maintaining strong relationships with grocery store clients, both chains and independent, who trust them to deliver high-quality products efficiently. This makes Ole a prominent player in the manufacturing and direct store delivery (DSD) segments within the food industry.

The role of Route Sales Driver at Ole is crucial for maintaining efficient and timely delivery of their products to grocery store accounts along designated routes. This position is designed for a reliable individual who can manage transportation duties such as dropping off and picking up tortillas to and from grocery stores according to a strict route schedule. A key component of this job is maintaining detailed records of travel time, locations visited, and work hours, ensuring transparency and operational efficiency. The Route Sales Driver must also conduct daily inspections of the delivery vehicle to guarantee safety and reliability during each trip. This role requires a hands-on approach, including loading and unloading products, carrying out basic vehicle maintenance, and addressing any unexpected issues that arise during delivery routes.

Success in this position depends on strong organizational skills and an ability to confirm detailed delivery information before departing for any task. The driver will need to demonstrate excellent knowledge of local routes and traffic patterns to optimize delivery schedules and avoid delays. Ole offers an environment where punctuality, reliability, and a customer-focused mindset are highly valued, ensuring all clients receive their products on time in excellent condition. The company also emphasizes the importance of communication skills and a professional demeanor since the driver represents Ole to clients at each delivery point.

This is a full-time, in-person position that is vital to the company’s distribution operations. The ideal candidate will have experience with handheld devices and printers to generate invoices and credits as part of the delivery process. Experience in DSD of grocery stores, including chains and independent retailers, is highly preferred. Additionally, the ability to perform merchandising tasks at accounts is a bonus, showing that the company driver not only delivers products but participates in maintaining the product’s shelf presence.

Overall, joining Ole as a Route Sales Driver provides a stable opportunity in a company committed to high-quality, authentic Mexican food products. It requires physical stamina, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic, with opportunities to contribute meaningfully to Ole’s mission of bringing family-centered dining experiences to customers.
