Driver description:

Hours are usually 7:30-4 (flexibility is required) Sometimes responsibilities will end include being on the road later than that, possibly as late as 6 or 7 depending on how busy the route is, traffic, unforeseen delays at dispensaries etc. The drivers are the face of our company and the final step of contact with our customers. It's important for them to be personable and professional to keep positive relations with dispensaries so that they want to continue to do business with us. They are also the last line of defense when things go wrong with orders. They must be able to think on their feet and have customer service and problem solving skills to resolve issues that may arise while doing deliveries.

• Following all state mandated regulations to ensure compliance and safety
• Pre-trip inspection of vehicles, making sure vans are in working order and gassed up

• Delivering orders in a prompt and professional manner while keeping dispensaries informed of any delays or changes in schedule
• Maintaining open lines of communication with Logistics Managers and Sales team to resolve issues and provide updates on delivery and departure times
