  • Verify order accuracy at pickup and delivery: confirm item counts, product SKUs, and required signatures; obtain proof-of-delivery (POD).
  • Follow planned routes and schedules using GPS and route-optimization tools; adjust route as necessary for traffic, weather, or customer needs while maintaining on-time performance.

  • Communicate professionally with customers, dispatch, and warehouse staff regarding delivery ETA, exceptions, damaged goods, or special handling instructions.
  • Handle cash, checks, credit card transactions, or customer invoices when necessary and follow company cash-handling policies.
  • Perform minor vehicle maintenance (checking oil, tire pressure, fuel, lights) and coordinate scheduled maintenance with the fleet/maintenance team.
  • Adhere to all federal, state, and local transportation and safety regulations (DOT rules if applicable), and company safety policies and procedures.
  • Manage returned items, exchanges, or credits according to company policy and ensure returned inventory is documented and processed.
  • Support warehouse personnel as needed (inventory counts, staging product) during slow delivery periods or as business needs arise.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience using handheld scanners, mobile route optimization software, or TMS/WMS integration.
  • Customer service experience; professional demeanor and strong communication skills.
  • Forklift certification or experience (where applicable).
