About The Position

The CDL A Local Delivery Truck Driver runs daily routes with frequent stops, loading packages onto hand trucks and unloading product at each stop in the order designated by the Transportation Department Manager. The driver picks up a loaded truck from a nightly delivery at the assigned loading dock in a cross-dock model and returns the empty truck to the assigned lot at the end of the route. The role may also occasionally assist with loading trucks, palletizing product, and other duties assigned by a Supervisor or Manager. Drivers unload products from the trailer by hand or with a hand cart and place them in designated customer storage areas. Deliveries may require moving products down ramps, stairs, or docks and working in all weather conditions. The driver verifies deliveries with customers, obtains signatures, communicates errors and returns, reports short orders, and handles customer complaints professionally.
