No regular service is scheduled for Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Routes are serviced 16 days per month; the remaining days are not scheduled workdays.

Applicants must maintain a neat, professional appearance. Hair must be worn to prevent it from becoming caught in cabinet doors or equipment. Excessive jewelry and strong colognes are prohibited.

COMPANY VEHICLE

The company furnishes a company vehicle for business use to run your route. The vehicle may be taken home each night after you pass the state registration exam. The vehicle is NOT for personal use.

COMPENSATION

An hourly wage will be discussed during the interview. In addition, a commission is paid on all work performed and any new accounts sold. The more work is performed, the greater the earnings.
