New drivers begin by covering established local and regional routes based on business needs. Some routes return to New Albany the same day, while others require one overnight stay. As dedicated routes become available, route coverage drivers may have opportunities to move into a dedicated route assignment.

• Combination of local and regional route coverage
• Some routes return home the same day
• Some routes require one overnight stay
• Company-provided hotel accommodations for overnight routes
• Service territory includes North Mississippi, West Tennessee, East Arkansas, and West Alabama

What You'll Do

• Safely operate a Class A commercial vehicle on assigned delivery routes
• Deliver products directly to customer locations
• Unload freight at each stop using a hand truck
• Handle cases and products weighing up to approximately 50-75 pounds
• Verify deliveries and complete required documentation
• Provide professional service to customers
• Perform required vehicle inspections and follow Company and Department of Transportation safety requirements

Equipment

• At least 6 months of Class A driving experience

Eligible full-time employees have access to Company benefits that include:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
