Wholesale Driver

Show of hands, who is tired of AI screeners during the application process? Same. Andy's Produce Market is proud to run on human-power and guess what? An actual human is going to review your application so make sure you read the rest of this closely...

Our Wholesale division is in the market (get it?) to hire a Wholesale Driver. This position is a full-time, 40 hour per week commitment during the hours of 4:00am - 12:30pm. We get it, some people are not early risers. If you're a night owl, you can probably stop reading. But if you love having an early start to your day, enjoy having your afternoons free, and are most productive as the sun is rising, read on.

Our Wholesale Drivers are an important part of our Wholesale Department and overall company mission to provide the community with the best produce and natural products. The Wholesale Drivers are responsible for ensuring timely deliveries to our community partners on specific routes.

WORKING FOR ANDY’S PRODUCE MARKET
As a Wholesale Driver, you will have the opportunity to:

• Pack and load products onto company provided trucks according to our standards
• Maintain and organize delivery paperwork and route to the appropriate staff
• Deliver orders to customers on assigned routes while maintaining the delivery schedule
• Interact with customers by making timely deliveries, receiving feedback on products, and reviewing delivery items to ensure their needs are met
• Join other Wholesale professionals in a team environment that works cooperatively with Wholesale Clerks, route dispatch, and the Wholesale Manager

WHAT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE
This position is right for you if you have:

• A willingness to work during morning hours - Wholesale is open Monday through Saturday from 4:00am - 12:30pm
• The time commitment of 40 hours per week - we will not be looking at part-time candidates
• A Valid California Driver's License, acceptable driving record, and ability to pass Non-DOT screening
• A customer-focused personality who is confident engaging with the public in-person, by phone, or in writing
• A personality that likes variety. The nature of the work adapts to our business needs and orders coming in and out and flexibility is essential
• The ability to follow written and verbal instructions

Brownie points and gold stars if you:

• Have previous experience in warehouse, driving, or grocery industries
• Are certified to operate a fork-lift (spoiler alert: if you don't have this certification at hire...you're going to need to get it within 6 months. We'll help you, don't worry)
• Have the charisma to sell an oil change to an electric car owner - you never know what sales opportunities might arise

THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Wholesale Drivers will need to possess the ability to:

• Sit and drive for prolonged periods of time
• Frequently walk, talk, hear, stand, climb, bend, lift, twist, push, pull, carry, grasp, reach, and stoop as needed
