You take pride in a clean delivery, an accurate load, and a customer who sees you coming and knows the job is handled. That is exactly who we are looking for.

Full-Time | Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM | Tampa, FL | Tropic Supply, Inc.

This Is a Local Driving Position

You will spend the majority of your time behind the wheel, running established local routes and delivering HVAC and refrigeration supplies to the contractors and technicians who depend on us every day. You know your customers by name, you know your routes, and you are home every night. This is a role built on consistency, reliability, and showing up the same way every single day, for the company, for the customer, and for yourself.

On days when your route is complete or volume is lighter, you will contribute in the warehouse. That is not the core of this job, but it is part of it, and we want to be upfront about that. When you are on the floor, you bring the same professionalism and work ethic you bring on the road.

Why Tropic Supply

We have been family‑owned and operated for more than 53 years. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident. It happens because we take care of the people who take care of us, our customers and our team alike, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of a team that stays.

What You Will Own

On the road, where you will spend most of your time:

• Operate Tropic Supply vehicles on established local routes, delivering HVAC and refrigeration supplies efficiently and professionally
• Perform thorough pre‑trip and post‑trip inspections
• Maintain accurate delivery documentation and receipt handling
• Load and unload cargo safely using forklifts, pallet jacks, and hand trucks
• Inspect all items for damage before and after transport
• Take ownership of your route, your vehicle, and the impression you leave at every stop

This position requires a Hazmat endorsement. You will transport hazardous materials and are expected to follow all applicable DOT and company safety regulations without exception.

In the warehouse, when you are not on the road:

• Pull and fill orders
• Receive and stock inventory
• Operate warehouse equipment
• Support the team on the floor

QualificationsWho Fits This Role

• Treats DOT compliance as non‑negotiable, not a formality
• Represents the company well at every stop and owns the route without needing to be managed
• Brings the same work ethic to the warehouse floor as to the road
• Dependable and ready to build something long‑term

What You Must Bring

Driving Requirements

• Must be 25 years of age or older
• Valid CDL Class B license with Hazmat endorsement
• Valid DOT medical certificate and active FMCSA Clearinghouse registration, with consent to a full pre‑employment query
• Minimum one year of verifiable CDL driving experience within the last three years, or two years within the last five years
• Motor vehicle record subject to review and approval per Tropic Supply driving standards
• Ability to read, write, and communicate in English for safety compliance, documentation, and customer interaction

Additional Requirements

• Hands‑on experience operating a sit‑down forklift, required. Loading and unloading cargo is part of this role, not an occasional task
• Ability to lift up to 75 lbs consistently and sustain physical activity throughout a full shift
• Comfort contributing in a warehouse and distribution environment on non‑driving days
• Strong attention to detail with a track record of delivery and documentation accuracy

Physical Requirements

This role combines active driving with hands‑on warehouse and delivery work. Candidates must be able to:

• Operate a commercial vehicle for extended periods throughout a shift
• Enter and exit the cab and cargo areas of trucks, including stepping up and down repeatedly
• Lift, carry, and position materials weighing up to 75 lbs unassisted
• Load and unload cargo, secure freight, and operate lift gates where applicable
• Push and pull loaded hand trucks, pallet jacks, and carts on various surfaces
• Bend, stoop, reach, and kneel as required by loading, unloading, and stocking tasks
• Work in outdoor and warehouse environments subject to Florida heat and ambient noise
• Stand and remain physically active during warehouse shifts
• Wear required personal protective equipment, including any applicable safety gear at delivery sites

What Tropic Supply Offers

• Company‑paid 100% employee medical and life insurance
• Optional dental and vision coverage
• Voluntary short‑term and long‑term disability
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid holidays and paid time off
• Employee discount programs
• Local routes with a consistent schedule and a familiar customer base
• A stable, family‑owned company where tenure is respected, performance is recognized, and you are part of something that has been built to last
