With a focus on exceptional customer service and a passion for craft beer culture, Cavalier has established itself as a leader in the beverage distribution industry. The company prides itself on fostering a dynamic and engaging work environment that encourages growth, adventure, and a deep appreciation for craft beer. Cavalier Distributing offers employees the opportunity to join a vibrant team dedicated to sharing the joy of craft beer with enthusiasts across Florida.

The Driver Safety Bonus of up to an additional $4/hour paid quarterly highlights the company's commitment to rewarding safe and reliable performance. The work schedule consists of a convenient 4-day workweek, Monday through Friday, supporting a balanced work-life rhythm that appeals to employees seeking flexibility. Working with Cavalier means more than just a job; it means becoming an integral part of Florida's thriving craft beer community.

The role of a Craft Beer Delivery Driver at Cavalier is a thrilling and fulfilling career for individuals who are both passionate about craft beer and skilled in professional delivery services. Drivers are responsible for the safe and courteous delivery of beverage products, primarily craft beer, to various licensed accounts including bars, restaurants, and retail outlets. This role requires a combination of attention to detail, adherence to safety protocols, and excellent customer service skills.

Drivers will be tasked with inspecting vehicles to ensure they meet mechanical and safety standards before setting out on their routes. They must accurately manage paperwork and cash handling duties associated with deliveries. Maintaining the organization, cleanliness, and security of company assets is a priority, as is compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) safety regulations. Drivers are also responsible for securing cargo properly to prevent damage or loss during transport.

The job demands physical stamina and skillful maneuvering of trucks into designated loading and unloading positions. Drivers assist with handling the loading and unloading of deliveries, making the position hands-on and active. The company values employees who demonstrate independence in completing deliveries while maintaining consistent communication with supervisors, sales representatives, and customers.

Beyond the core responsibilities of delivery, Cavalier supports its employees with a robust benefits package effective after 60 days of employment. Benefits include paid time off, health, dental, and vision insurance, health savings and reimbursement accounts, accident and critical illness coverage, life and short-term disability insurance, and company-paid long-term disability insurance. Employees also enjoy unique perks such as a reimbursement program for craft beer purchases, an education savings plan (529 plan), and a 401(k) plan with company matching, ensuring financial security and personal development opportunities.

This position represents an exciting opportunity for individuals who possess a valid driver's license, a clean motor vehicle record (MVR), and an adventurous spirit aligned with the craft beer lifestyle. Candidates who thrive in independent roles, have excellent communication skills, and enjoy interacting with customers and team members will find this role rewarding both personally and professionally. If you are ready to turn your love for craft beer into a dynamic career and become a valued member of Florida's craft beer community, Cavalier invites you to join their delivery team and embark on this exciting journey together.
