Trade Driver
Swickard Gresham LLC, d/b/a Gresham Toyota•Gresham, OR
•$16 - $30•Onsite
About The Position
Gresham Toyota runs a high-volume used vehicle operation on Portland's east side. Trade-ins, auction purchases, and inter-store transfers move through this store daily -- and the Trade Driver is the person who keeps that inventory moving accurately and on time. The wide pay range reflects experience: a driver with prior automotive transport, auction, or dealer trade experience comes in higher; a driver who is new to the role and learning the operation starts lower and earns as they develop.
Requirements
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record -- required
- Reliable and punctual -- transport assignments have timing dependencies and the team depends on the driver following through without being chased
- Detail-oriented on vehicle condition documentation -- accurate inspection notes at pickup protect the store and the used vehicle team from disputes down the road
- Comfortable driving a wide range of vehicle makes, models, and sizes
