The role of Delivery Assistant is an essential position within McLane’s delivery operations. This role is physically demanding and fast-paced and serves as direct support to a McLane Delivery Driver. It is important to note that Delivery Assistants do not drive the delivery trucks; rather, their primary responsibilities involve unloading trailers, handling delivery items, and assisting with the timely and accurate delivery of goods. The Delivery Assistant acts as a face of the company to customers, making excellent customer service skills a beneficial asset.

The position requires considerable physical stamina as it involves bending, lifting pallets or products weighing up to 75 pounds, and extensive walking throughout the workday. Delivering products safely and efficiently is a top priority, and as such, careful attention to proper work and safety protocols is essential. The Delivery Assistant works closely with Delivery Drivers to ensure all deliveries meet customer expectations and adhere to McLane’s standards of quality and accuracy.

Working at McLane offers not only the opportunity for personal and professional growth but also a comprehensive benefits package.

Additional benefits such as flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA), company-paid life insurance, paid vacation and sick leave accrual starting from day one, and paid holidays after 90 days further enhance the role’s appeal.

McLane also offers a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan after 90 days, alongside other valuable perks like pet insurance, parental leave, employee assistance programs, discount programs, and tuition reimbursement, making it a comprehensive package to support the health, wellbeing, and financial security of its employees.
