What does a route sales driver do?

A route sales driver is a field sales job with the additional responsibility of delivering and merchandising the products ordered by a client. Route sales drivers follow a specific and prescribed route to deliver goods to grocery, convenience, or liquor stores and make sure the product is adequately stocked and well displayed. They also encourage store managers to place orders and re-order when stock is low. Route sales driver positions are common for water, soda, beer, and snack food delivery.
