Types of Delivery Drivers
If you’ve considered a job in the delivery driver industry, there are multiple options to choose from. We employ several types of delivery drivers, including:
- Pickup and Delivery Drivers: These individuals travel from business to business, picking up items for customers and taking them back to the main office, where they’ll be sorted for delivery. These drivers also do a bit of sales, discovering ways they can better serve their clients.
- Delivery Drivers: Heavy lifting is part of the job for delivery drivers, who also may need to do some assembly. Delivery drivers spend most of their time working with the public, so effective communication skills are essential. Other duties of delivery drivers include picking up freight from a distribution center and bringing it to businesses in the area for resale.
- Grocery Drivers: While you may think of grocery driving as a long-haul job, many local grocery delivery jobs are available. Trucking companies in BC hire local drivers to deliver fresh items that may perish quickly. In addition to delivering the item, the grocery driver may be tasked with arranging the item on shelves and determining how the item is selling.
