Route Sales Driver

Ole Mexican Foods, INC is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Route Sales Driver to join our dynamic team. As a key member of our sales team, you will be responsible for delivering and merchandising our products to customers, while also providing exceptional customer service and building strong relationships with our clients.

• Deliver and merchandise products to customers on a daily, weekly, or bi-weekly basis to ensure ample, fresh product is stocked for all current and new customers assigned to the route or found by the salesperson.
• Call on established customers along the route and persuade regular customers to accept delivery of increased amounts of goods or of new products, even though the initial sale or agreement for delivery was made by someone else in corporate or at store level.
• Greet store attendants, including back door receivers, owners, department managers, or any person responsible for purchasing or authorizing orders from Ole salespersons.
• Rotate and restock product on shelves to prevent product from exceeding expiration date, and to ensure freshness. Customer complaints and a high number of credits mean the sales/driver is performing this duty poorly.
• Accurately enter quantities and prices when issuing invoices and credit memos to customers. Verify quantities and correct product codes on DSD tickets and receiving documents, and have the receiver sign invoices and/or receiving documents.
• Count the truck's inventory for accuracy and verify product transfers before signing. The driver is responsible for all product loaded to their truck.
• Timely and accurately complete expense reports and settle-up documents. The cash collected and turned in each week must match the paperwork. Count all cash received and review checks for accuracy before accepting them from customers. Once you accept cash from a customer, you are responsible for turning it in during settle-up. Receipts are required to verify expenses.
• Collect payments from cash accounts, seven-day charge accounts, and delinquent accounts on their route. If a driver accepts a bad check, they must collect the payment plus an additional $35 fee.
• Maintain a valid driver's license and all driving records as required by the D.O.T. All routes must enter their beginning and ending mileage on each week's expense report. Drivers whose MVR or driving record falls below acceptable standards may face probation, suspension of driving privileges, or termination.
• Ensure the safety and maintenance of the vehicles they drive. Daily maintenance includes checking and adding fuel, air, oil, and water as necessary. Drivers need to take their vehicle to the specified service center for scheduled maintenance or repairs. All accidents must be reported immediately to their supervisor and the home office. No matter how minor the accident, call the police and complete an accident report.

• Develop strong relationships and provide a high level of customer service.
• 1+ years' experience in Retail, Sales, or a Field-Based supervisor role.
• Personal access to functional tools such as a smartphone or smart pad and computer.
• Communicate timely with Management through phone or email.
• Be able to lift up to 35lbs, walk, stand, bend, and stoop for long periods of time.
