CDL A Truck Driver

Delivery Driver

This isn't a job for someone who just wants to drive a truck. It's a job for someone who takes pride in every lift, every load, and every last impression at the customer's door.

Mackey's has been Connecticut's trusted, family-owned farm and home supply store for over 55 years. Our mission is to be the most TRUSTED and RELIABLE retail service and for many of our customers, the Delivery Driver is the only Mackey's employee they'll ever meet face-to-face.

We'll be direct: this is physical work behind the wheel lifting feed bags, hay bales, soil, and bulky goods, stop after stop, in all kinds of weather. What separates a great Mackey's driver isn't just the ability to lift and drive. It's showing up on time, treating every customer's property with care, and representing our name well when no manager is riding along. Those qualities are rarer than a clean driving record.

If you are someone who takes genuine pride in physical work, drives with discipline, and treats every doorstep like it's the only delivery that matters we want to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Safely deliver Mackey's products to customers on time, in proper condition, and with genuine care
• Load, secure, and transport agricultural supplies, pet products, soil, bales of hay, and bulky goods
• Lift and carry heavy and awkward items at every stop, all shift, every shift
• Represent Mackey's professionally at every stop dependable, kind, and solutions-oriented
• Communicate proactively with the team about delivery status and any customer needs
• Handle and store merchandise to protect product integrity and customer safety
• Support warehouse and store operations as needed between deliveries

Who Thrives Here

Before applying, be honest with yourself about whether this description fits you:

• You don't just tolerate lifting and loading all day you'd rather be moving than sitting behind a desk
• You take as much pride in how a delivery looks and feels to the customer as in getting it there on time
• You show up on time and ready to drive, without needing to be reminded
• When something goes wrong on a route, you say so you don't cover it up or pass the blame
• You treat every customer even the ones you'll only meet once with the same respect as a lifelong regular
• You understand that a family-owned business depends on your reliability in a way that a large corporation does not
