This role involves direct interaction with customers along with hands-on product handling and delivery tasks.

The Delivery Driver (non-CDL) position is centered on providing timely, accurate, and professional delivery services. The primary responsibility is the safe and efficient transportation of tire products from the origin point to the customer’s place of business.

Occasionally, drivers may operate powered industrial vehicles such as forklifts or pallet jacks to assist with product handling and staging. Physical demands include lifting items weighing up to 50 pounds and working in various weather conditions, which requires stamina and resilience.

Ultimately, the Delivery Driver plays a vital role in the supply chain by ensuring that products arrive on time, in excellent condition, and with proper documentation. This position requires a high degree of professionalism, reliability, and customer-oriented mindset. For those looking to build a challenging and rewarding career, American Tire Distributors provides a supportive work environment that values collaboration, innovation, and dedication. The company is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Drug-Free Workplace, reflecting its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and workplace safety.
