TNT Fireworks is currently hiring seasonal CDL drivers to deliver consumer fireworks beginning mid-May, and pick up the unsold products from grocery and retail stores over a 2 to 4-week period beginning July 5th.
During returns, drivers will be assigned a route and visit stores to pick up the unsold products.

Key responsibilities :
- Safely operate a class B box truck (some class A driving may be available, but not required) for delivery and return of product.
- Properly count or verify with DSD Receiver, claims associates, or store management quantities of each item for credit, and enter them into a tablet.
- Load products into pallet packs in the truck, properly package and block / brace in accordance with D.O.T. hazmat / company requirements.
- Communicate daily with office support staff to ensure the product is available and ready for pickup when you arrive at the stores.
- A professional attitude is a must as a company representative.
- Handling of product is required. This is NOT a "no-touch" freight position. Drivers must be able to lift, bend, reach, pull, carry, stand, and walk while visiting stops.
