You’ll make sure each auction is adequately staffed and assist in communicating schedules and assignments.

You’ll transport drivers, customers, and employees to locations as needed and on schedule. You’ll perform daily van maintenance, including cleaning, and routine oil changes and upkeep, on vans.
