  • Complete local deliveries and pickups while following DOT, OSHA, and company safety standards.
  • Perform daily pre- and post-trip inspections to keep your rig—and yourself—safe and keep truck cab and equipment clean and inspection-ready.
  • Use company-provided handheld devices for navigation, delivery confirmation, and communication.

  • Help with storage center functions, forklift operation, and light container maintenance to keep the operation humming.

  • No moving violations in the past three years.
  • A strong sense of spatial relations—you can park a vehicle and negotiate tight residential spaces with ease.
  • Comfortable climbing in and out of the cab (using three points of contact), operating a forklift, and occasionally lifting up to 50 lbs. or applying up to 40 lbs. of pressure for equipment operation.
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions.
