The Delivery Driver role at PRIA Logistics is integral to maintaining the company’s outstanding service standards. Successful candidates will be provided with a company van and phone to aid in navigation and communication. The role involves loading delivery vehicles, safely operating a Sprinter Van with a weight rating of up to 10,000 pounds, adhering to safety regulations, and leveraging GPS and electronic tools for efficient routing.
