Delivery Route Driver

Job Summary

We currently have routes in Nashville and Memphis requiring 2-3 days a week. We will provide you with a phone that has a fully-featured route navigation software (Circuit for Teams) and Paperwork detailing the items you are delivering. Often, these stops will also have you pick up tooling in need of sharpening, which you will bring back to the shop once the day is complete. Routes are run bi-weekly, so expect to see the same faces quite regularly.

Since pickup and delivery is the entire position, it is important that we find someone who is personable, swift, respectful, and enthusiastic as they are the face of our business. Some of our products are sharp and some are heavy so keep that in mind. You will have between 20-35 stops per day and can work between 2-3 days with possibility of increase. Biggest concern for us is longevity, we want you to come and stay on.
