The position of Driver - Supply Chain Management (SCM) at Core-Mark is a vital role within the company, responsible for the safe and timely delivery of food and food-related products. It involves operating tractor-trailers or straight trucks on a variety of routes including intrastate, interstate, local, over-the-road (OTR), shuttle, and overnight drive and drop routes.

This role provides excellent opportunities for career growth in a company that values its employees and promotes a safe and inclusive work environment through rewards, recognition, and mutual respect.

This position requires a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail as drivers perform pre-trip and post-trip inspections to ensure vehicle and load safety and maintain compliance with federal and state regulations. The Driver - SCM is also responsible for loading and unloading freight, verifying deliveries, handling customer returns, and completing accurate paperwork related to shipments and hours of service logs. Candidates must be physically able to lift and move product cases often weighing between 10 to 35 pounds, and in some cases up to 90 pounds, utilizing equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates.
