• Conduct pre-trip and post-trip inspections to verify vehicle safety, including checking brakes, lights, tires, and load securement.
• Route driving with precision to meet delivery schedules while adhering to all traffic laws and safety protocols.
• Maintain accurate logs of driving hours, deliveries, load details, and inspection reports in compliance with DOT regulations.
• Communicate effectively with dispatch teams to coordinate pickups, deliveries, and any route adjustments or issues that arise during the shift.

Experience:

• Proven experience as a commercial truck driver with a valid CDL A license; proficiency with manual transmissions is mandatory.
• Prior delivery driver experience involving freight handling and route driving in various truck types.
• Familiarity with operating forklifts.
• Knowledge of safety standards related to trucking operations including load securement and vehicle inspections.
• Ability to navigate using GPS or route maps efficiently during night hours while maintaining focus on safety.
