Describe Duties: As per job description, other preference includes:

This is a fully local delivery position operating in the Greater Victoria Region and Southern Vancouver Island (including Sooke, the Saanich Peninsula and occasional runs into the Cowichan Valley), typically involving multi‑stop routes (approximately 8‑15 stops per day). You’ll be responsible not just for driving, but for completing deliveries end‑to‑end—ensuring freight is handled safely, efficiently, and professionally at every stop.

• Your day will typically involve a mix of:
• Palletized deliveries using proper unloading techniques
• Hand-cart deliveries directly into customer locations
• Regular interaction with customers at delivery points

This is not a drop‑and‑go position—you’ll be bringing product into customer locations, not leaving it at the curb. It’s a physically active role that requires effort, attention, and professionalism—but in return offers steady work, predictable routes, and a strong sense of ownership over your day.

Equipment & Operations

We invest in our drivers by providing:

• A reliable, well‑maintained fleet supported by a comprehensive maintenance program
• A phased fleet replacement plan, with ongoing upgrades to newer equipment over time
• Well‑maintained trailers to minimize downtime and mechanical issues
• Modern technology such as digital signature capture, electronic DVIRs, and route optimization tools to reduce paperwork and support efficient, well‑planned routes

The goal is simple: keep you moving efficiently and focused on the job—not troubleshooting equipment.

What You Can Expect

• Competitive compensation — hourly pay, benefits, safe driving bonuses, and overtime opportunities
• Consistent, local work — no long haul or overnight trips
• Structured schedules — primarily weekday, daytime operations
• Route consistency — build familiarity and strong customer relationships
• Active workdays — a mix of driving and physical delivery tasks
• Team-oriented environment — drivers are supported, not left on their own

Who This Role Is For

You’ll succeed here if you:

• Take pride in being a professional driver, not just a seat‑holder
• Prefer a physically active role over long idle driving hours
• Are comfortable interacting with customers daily
• Value routine, structure, and consistency in your work

• Positive atmosphere, excellent team environment

Most routes are primarily consistent week to week, allowing you to build relationships with customers
