• Confident, self‑directed problem solver who is comfortable making good decisions independently when situations on the road don’t go as planned
• A collaborative communicator who keeps the team informed and works well with yard staff, dispatch, and customers alikeExcellent customer‑facing communication skills, as you will be the face of our company at every delivery
• Detail oriented with a strong commitment to safe work practices
• Ability to work a flexible schedule including early mornings, weekends, and occasional overtime
• Ability to perform physical tasks including lifting up to 70 pounds, and working in all types of weather conditions
• Previous experience delivering lumber, building materials, or construction supplies is a strong asset
