Job description

Does this sound like you?

• Do you prefer working independently - on the road with a clear route and a mission to complete - over working in a loud, crowded environment with constant interaction?
• Are you the kind of driver who treats a company vehicle like it's your own, keeps it clean, does your pre-trip checks without being reminded, and takes pride in a spotless driving record?
• Do you find satisfaction in a well-organized delivery run - every stop documented, every package accounted for, every pickup confirmed - with no loose ends at the end of the day?
• Are you professional and composed at customer docks and receiving doors, even when you're not a small-talk kind of person - because you know that how you show up reflects on the company?

About Us

TCH Industries has been a cornerstone in the industrial hose industry since 1983. We manufacture and distribute industrial, hydraulic, and metal hose assemblies and associated components serving customers across manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and beyond. We are a growing company - expanding through strategic acquisitions and adding capabilities at multiple locations in Northeast Ohio.

Koehler Rubber & Supply Co. (now operating as TCH Koehler LLC, dba Koehler Rubber) brings more than a century of expertise to our combined organization. Founded in 1917, Koehler Rubber has spent over 100 years supplying Ohio and the Midwest with specialty fluid application products. Their team includes certified specialists in hose and fitting assembly specification, lubrication system design, pumping and dispensing systems, spray finishing, and factory-authorized service and repair.

Together, TCH Industries and Koehler Rubber represent more than 140 combined years of industry expertise operating from a consolidated location in Cleveland. We take care of our customers - and that starts with reliable, professional delivery every time.

The Role

This is a local delivery route position based out of our Cleveland facility. You will operate our company box truck on daily same-day runs throughout Northeast Ohio, delivering industrial hose assemblies and components to our customers and picking up materials as needed. You are home every night.

This is a solo role built for someone who is self-directed, detail-oriented, and takes genuine ownership of their route and their vehicle. You will be the face of TCH Industries and Koehler Rubber at customer docks and receiving doors - a brief but important interaction that requires professionalism, not a sales pitch. We are not looking for a people person; we are looking for a dependable, trustworthy professional who represents us well without being prompted.

What You'll Do

• Operate our company box truck on local same-day delivery and pickup routes throughout Northeast Ohio
• Load and unload freight at our facility and at customer locations - safely and with care for the product
• Verify orders against delivery documentation before departure and confirm receipt at each stop
• Accurately complete delivery logs, BOLs, and any pickup or return paperwork
• Conduct pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections and report any maintenance needs promptly
• Maintain the cleanliness and condition of the company vehicle at all times
• Represent TCH Industries and Koehler Rubber professionally at all customer locations - courteous, efficient, and on time
• Communicate route updates, delays, or delivery exceptions to dispatch in a timely manner

Qualifications

• Valid Ohio driver's license with a clean driving record - this is non-negotiable
• Ability to operate a box truck (under 26,001 lbs GVWR) - no CDL required
• Delivery or route driving experience strongly preferred
• Ability to load, unload, and move freight up to 75 lbs; team lifts for heavier items
• Strong attention to detail - accurate documentation is as important as safe driving
• Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated; able to manage your own route and time without micromanagement
• Professional demeanor at customer sites - you don't need to be outgoing, but you do need to be courteous and composed
• Basic familiarity with NE Ohio geography and routes; GPS proficiency
• Forklift or pallet jack experience is a plus

Schedule & Compensation

• Full-time, Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm - local routes, home every night
• Early start times typical; routes are generally completed within standard business hours
• Competitive hourly wage commensurate with experience
• Overtime opportunities available
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health savings account (HSA)
• 401(k) with retirement plan
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Parental leave
• Career advancement and growth opportunities across our expanding branch network

If you are a dependable, safety-conscious driver who takes pride in doing the job right and representing a company well - without needing to be the center of attention - we want to hear from you.

We embrace diversity and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace environment for all employees.
