In particular, you will:

Record deliveries and pick-ups on a load manifest and obtain signatures from customers for receipt purposes. Collect empty cylinders or rejected or unsold merchandise. Return empty cylinders to either a plant or branch location for refilling.
• Establish and maintain good customer relations. Listen to and help resolve service inquiries and complaints.
• Provide timely communication back to the manager or to the customer's assigned Airgas sales associate regarding any changes or issues experienced by the customer.
• Maintain load manifests and all required vehicle documents by ensuring they are properly completed and reconciled with truck counts and shipping documents before and after deliveries.
