About The Position

Route drivers pick up a packed trailer at the Norwalk, Iowa lot and follow an assigned delivery route.

They coordinate with customers about where to place products, obtain required signatures, and build relationships with repeat customers. The currently described open route is the Key Account 2am Route. It runs four days per week—Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday—and averages 8–11 hours per day, with a weekly average of 40 hours. The route leaves the Norwalk lot and delivers primarily in the greater Des Moines area. Deliveries are primarily ramp work, unloading products from the truck with a two-wheel cart.
