The Role

That means you're doing pre- and post trip inspections every day, securing the load, checking invoices, and handling the delivery paperwork with signatures. You'll unload product into their storage area; sometimes with a two wheeler or lift gate; and handle any returns or damaged goods. At the end of your shift, you secure the truck and finish your logs.
