WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Support drivers and daily overnight delivery operations

• Train new drivers on safe driving, delivery procedures, and route expectations
• Help drivers resolve route and delivery issues
• Support the Distribution Supervisor with daily operational needs
• Monitor truck readiness, cleanliness, and maintenance concerns
• Review manifests, DOT logs, and required driver documentation
• Report attendance, performance, safety, and operational concerns to leadership
• Help unload inbound product, stage product, load trucks, and organize empty crates
• Drive a 26-ft non-CDL straight truck
• Complete 12–16 King Soopers deliveries when covering routes
• Make front-door deliveries using a liftgate
• Move most store deliveries using shopping carts
• Collect empty crates for return

WHAT YOU NEED

• At least 3 years of verifiable 26-ft box-truck driving experience
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable MVR
• Must be at least 21 years old
• Strong communication, dependability, and problem-solving skills
• Willingness to actively drive and cover routes when needed
• Comfortable training and supporting other drivers
• Ability to pass required DOT physical, drug screen, lifting assessment, criminal background check, and MVR review
• Ability to repeatedly lift up to 75 lbs. and push/pull up to 250 lbs.
• Comfortable working overnight, weekends, holidays, and additional hours when needed

Previous lead, trainer, or supervisory experience is preferred but not required.

If you are an experienced box-truck driver ready to take on more responsibility while remaining hands-on, apply today.
