Job Description

Sheetz is a dynamic and customer-focused convenience store chain known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and excellent service. Operating primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region, Sheetz combines the convenience of a quick-service restaurant with a full convenience store, offering customers a wide variety of products and freshly prepared food items. The company prides itself on creating a welcoming environment for both customers and employees, fostering a culture of inclusivity, growth, and opportunity. As a well-established brand with numerous locations, Sheetz continuously invests in its infrastructure and team to maintain high operational standards and meet the evolving needs of its customers.

The role of a Truck and Trailer Positioning Specialist at Sheetz is pivotal in ensuring smooth logistics and operational efficiency at the company’s distribution centers. This position focuses on the proper positioning and maintenance of trucks and trailers to facilitate timely and safe loading and unloading of goods. The specialist must ensure that refrigeration units on trailers are operational to maintain the integrity of perishable products, and the cooler and freezer zones are set to optimal temperatures before cargo is loaded. Additionally, the role involves coupling tractors with designated trailers, transporting trucks to fueling stations, and conducting special deliveries and pickups using non-DOT vehicles as assigned.

The role is highly hands-on and requires a detail-oriented individual capable of managing various equipment and adhering to safety protocols. Maintaining thorough daily activity logs to track equipment positioning, fueling, and maintenance is also a key responsibility. Beyond logistics, the role requires a commitment to maintaining vehicle appearance and functionality, including running equipment through wash bays and hand polishing chrome wheels and bumpers. A successful candidate will demonstrate a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and mechanical aptitude. Sheetz emphasizes inclusivity and supports accommodations to ensure all qualified individuals can perform their essential duties effectively. This position, perfect for professionals with a driving background, provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a respected company dedicated to operational excellence and employee growth.
