Sure, you could drive a truck for lots of companies, but how much more fun would it be to deliver beer, wine and spirits between our warehouses and have a feeling of family as your truck rolls into both locations every day?
Eat. Sleep. Shuttle Beer. Repeat: Our drivers are home daily after hauling our beverages across Michigan to ensure each of our warehouses have the product they need for our customers. We take great pride in choosing drivers who drive safely, and are willing to jump in and help co-workers and suppliers when needed. This position requires a CDL-A, and will leave from our Kalamazoo warehouse Monday-Thursday evenings (That's right...a 3-day weekend!) at 2:30am with a return early in the afternoon.
Like a fine wine, Imperial Beverage has been getting better with age since 1933. We are a Michigan family-owned beverage distributor and we are passionate about helping others succeed at work and in the community. We only hire those with passion, integrity, customer focus and the desire for hard work. Once all the work is done at our fast-paced company, we also like to have fun and lots of it!
Will work for beer? Great! Working for a beverage distributor has its perks. Not only will you get to learn about and sample our products, but we also include health, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) match, a generous PTO policy, and free uniforms.
