This is not a home-daily position. Drivers must be comfortable with overnight and extended travel. Some routes may require several consecutive nights away from home, while longer routes may keep the driver away for a week or more. Home time will be scheduled between assigned routes.

• Ability to safely maneuver and back a 26-foot truck at retail delivery locations
• Ability to remain away from home overnight and for extended multi-day routes
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and safely operate pallet-handling equipment
• Dependable communication, time-management and recordkeeping skills

Employment is contingent upon:

• DOT medical qualification
• Successful completion of all company-required pre-employment screenings
• Road test or documented demonstration of proficiency operating a 26-foot box truck
