Additionally, the role supports the service department by transporting parts and equipment when necessary, contributing to various other projects assigned by supervisors. The position demands vigilance and compliance with DOT regulations, including maintaining a driver qualification file with up-to-date medical and safety records, passing drug screenings, and possessing strong communication skills in English, which is essential for safety and legal compliance.
