About The Position

The primary responsibility of the Driver is to safely and efficiently transport specimens from hospitals to the laboratory while providing superior customer support to our clientele. The Driver will adhere to the Driver and Safety Handbook policies and protocols, perform proper route preparation (coolers, icepacks, biopsy bags, vehicle checklist), and ensure timely delivery of client supplies and specimens to the appropriate destination. Maintaining specimen integrity at all times, including the utilization of a specimen carry bag to transport specimens from client office/lock box to vehicle, is crucial. The role involves efficient and timely completion of routes, following the route as scheduled/sequenced while allowing for special pick-ups. Use of logistics software for route pick ups is required, which may involve data entry and taking photos to notify management of lab pick-ups or issues. The Driver is responsible for operating their vehicle safely and maintaining a valid driver’s license and driving record within acceptable company guidelines. Ensuring the route is started with proper equipment and tools (carry bag, coolers, cellphone, keys, door hangers, reports, etc.) is essential. Completion of a late return form when Actual Time of Arrival (ATA) exceeds Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and the use of “We Were Here, But No Specimens Available” tags are also required. The position demands courteous and professional interactions with clients, communication with the Transportation Supervisor on all issues that arise during a route, and representing Antech in a positive manner at all times. The Driver is responsible for compliance with all processes including timekeeping, attendance and punctuality, and safety requirements. Assistance in other duties relevant to transportation services may be requested.
