I am responsible for picking up my route paperwork, handheld and printer every morning. I then preform my pre trip inspection, pick up my trailer, top off with fuel, check in at the dock and check and secure my load.

I then deliver each order to the appropriate location. While at the location I am responsible for checking the order to confirm it’s all accounted for. It then has to be taken into the store and each shelf has to be sufficiently stocked. Any left over product has to be properly back stocked.

Any load errors or damages has to be noted and invoice adjustments has to be made.

I normally have 8 to 13 stops per day and worked 10-15 hour days.

At the end of the day I return to the plant and check back in at the dock to report any variances to my load. I then park the empty trailer and preform a post check of my truck.
