As a Delivery Driver with APEX Drive Logistics, you will play an important role in providing safe, reliable, and timely delivery service to our customers. Safety is our top priority, and every driver is expected to make safe decisions at all times on the road, at delivery locations, and while handling packages.

Drivers are responsible for safely operating a company provided delivery vehicle, following an assigned route, and delivering packages to homes and businesses. We believe that no delivery is more important than the safety of our drivers, customers, and communities.

This is an active, fast paced position that involves driving, walking, lifting packages, climbing stairs, and frequently entering and exiting the delivery vehicle throughout the day. Drivers must remain alert, follow safe work practices, and adjust appropriately to traffic, road, and weather conditions.

• Complete vehicle safety inspections and promptly report hazards, damage, or safety concerns
• Load, organize, transport, and deliver packages safely and efficiently along assigned routes

• Use navigation and delivery technology responsibly and only when safe to do so
• Remain alert to pedestrians, traffic, weather, and changing road or delivery conditions
• Communicate with dispatch regarding route issues, vehicle concerns, or unsafe conditions
• Provide professional and courteous service to customers and the community

At APEX Drive Logistics, safety comes first, every route, every stop, every day. We expect our drivers to prioritize safe decision making for themselves, their teammates, our customers, and the communities we serve. We are looking for dependable, safety minded individuals who take pride in doing the job the right way.
