Operational Excellence

  • Troubleshoot issues quickly to minimize route delays
  • Document daily performance metrics and contribute to operational improvement plans

  • Serve as an example of safe driving, customer obsession, and delivery standards

Leadership Track Responsibilities

  • Help implement a culture of safety, accountability, and excellence
  • Take on increased responsibilities as the company grows (DA Manager, Ops Manager, etc.)

Required Qualifications

  • Must be at least 21 years old
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
  • Open availability - mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays
  • Comfortable working 40+ hours per week
