Route Relief Driver
About The Position
Mission Linen Supply is hiring a motivated, sales-driven Route Relief Driver to drive and service customers on designated community routes, grow accounts, and earn commission on the business they build. This is a B2B sales and account-management position that includes operating a truck, rather than a delivery-only role. The company is a family-owned, privately held provider of linen, uniform, and facility-service products across five western states. The role offers a path from Route Relief Driver to a dedicated Route Sales & Service Representative territory. Starting pay is $19.31–$22.72 per hour, based on experience, qualifications, and location. Once assigned a route, Route Sales & Service Representatives average more than $80,000 in total annual compensation, with uncapped commission potential tied to new business and account growth. The position is full-time and includes benefits.
