  • Communicate delays, incidents, or exceptions to warehouse leadership in real time
  • Participate in training, refreshers, and pilot reviews as required.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Minimum of 10 years of driving or delivery experience preferred
  • Ability to work a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends
  • Ability to safely operate delivery vehicles such as vans, box trucks, or small commercial vehicles
