The role involves driving daily routes that include frequent stops and handling a variety of logistics and physical tasks. Drivers in this role will be responsible for loading packages onto hand trucks, unloading product at each delivery stop, and maintaining the sequence designated by the Transportation Department Manager to ensure efficient delivery routes.

The position is ideally suited for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment where customer service and operational efficiency are paramount.

Customer interaction forms a significant part of the role as drivers must verify deliveries, obtain signatures, handle discrepancies, and professionally address customer complaints. This requires strong communication skills and problem resolution abilities. The role also demands meticulous record-keeping and reporting any delivery issues or missing items promptly to management ensuring customer satisfaction at all times.

Candidates will have at least a high school diploma or equivalent, one year of route delivery experience or similar background driving straight trucks, and a valid driver’s license.
