GeneralProduce is a prominent distributor of fresh produce operating from a state-of-the-art facility located in Sacramento. The company specializes in delivering high-quality fruits and vegetables across Northern and Central California, Western Nevada, and Southern Oregon, extending its reach internationally to the Pacific Rim and Asia. GeneralProduce prides itself on its commitment to freshness and quality, making it a trusted partner for restaurants, schools, and families relying on nutritious and delicious produce to thrive. The company embraces innovation and efficiency, placing a strong emphasis on maintaining the highest standards in every aspect of its operations, from sourcing to delivery. Its deeply ingrained culture of reliability and service excellence ensures it consistently meets the demanding needs of its diverse customer base.

The role of a Commercial Delivery Driver at GeneralProduce is essential to the company's mission to keep communities nourished through the delivery of fresh products. This full-time position offers a unique blend of routine activity and professionalism without the downside of spending nights on the road, providing balance and stability not often found in the driving profession. Working primarily Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday starting at 5 AM, the driver is expected to deliver produce safely, accurately, and efficiently to various customers while handling customer interactions with a friendly and professional demeanor. Responsibilities include verifying and documenting orders, loading and unloading trucks with care to protect items, maintaining vehicle cleanliness and basic upkeep, and resolving any delivery issues in coordination with the office team.

Candidates for the Commercial Delivery Driver position must meet specific requirements, including holding a valid California Class A Commercial Driver License with an air brake endorsement, being at least 21 years old, and possessing at least one year of commercial driving experience. Experience with food or produce distribution and familiarity with driving in challenging conditions such as snow is preferred. Effective communication skills and the ability to use modern technology, such as smartphones and delivery apps, are important for ensuring timely and accurate deliveries. The job also involves considerable physical demands, including regularly lifting weights up to 50 pounds and performing physical tasks like stooping and kneeling. GeneralProduce offers a comprehensive benefits package along with annual incentives to reward hard work and commitment.
