Job Description

Ole is a company dedicated to producing the finest authentic Mexican-inspired products, with a strong emphasis on quality and freshness. Their mission is to bring wholesome, fun, and authentic eating experiences to families, making their products a staple at dinner tables. Ole takes pride in crafting tortillas and related items that truly capture the essence of Mexican cuisine, combining traditional recipes with modern food production standards to ensure both taste and safety. The company is committed to supporting families with convenient, high-quality food options that can be enjoyed as part of a shared meal experience.

Ole is currently seeking a reliable and dedicated Route Sales Driver to join their team. This position plays a critical role in the supply chain, ensuring the timely and safe transportation of products to grocery stores, including both chain and independent stores. The role requires the driver to deliver tortillas and related merchandise according to a scheduled route, maintaining a travel log to record hours worked, travel time, and locations visited. The driver must also perform routine inspections on the company vehicle to guarantee safety and operational efficiency. The ideal candidate will have experience with handheld devices and printers used for creating invoices and credits, possess knowledge of Direct Store Delivery (DSD) processes, and have the physical ability to load and unload products from the warehouse and delivery vehicles.

As a Route Sales Driver at Ole, the individual will not only be responsible for the safe and punctual delivery of products but also for merchandising at the delivery locations, ensuring that the company's products are well represented and attractively displayed to maximize visibility and sales potential. This role requires adaptability, as the driver may need to adjust routes to avoid traffic delays or road construction. Effective communication skills are essential for reporting any issues, including vehicle tickets, damages, or incidents, to management in a timely manner. Punctuality and reliability are key traits the company looks for in this role, alongside a sound knowledge of road safety regulations and local routes. While a high school diploma or GED is preferred, the company stresses the importance of being at least 23 years old, holding a valid driver’s license, and maintaining a clean driving record. Additionally, bilingual skills in English and Spanish are considered an advantage, supporting effective communication with diverse customers and colleagues.

This position is not remote or hybrid; the Route Sales Driver will be working on the road and at various delivery locations. Ole offers a dynamic and supportive work environment where employees can grow professionally while contributing to the company’s mission of providing authentic Mexican-inspired products. This job is perfect for individuals who enjoy driving, value punctuality and dependability, and want to be an integral part of a food company that values culture, community, and quality.
