Class A CDL Driver - Local Route (Home Daily)
Crown Distributors is Kansas's family-owned beverage distributor, hiring a Class A CDL Delivery Driver for our Topeka facility. Local route, no overnights, home every afternoon. Full-time 4 or 5 day work week depending on route assignment, with a fixed early-morning start (typically 5:00 to 6:00 a.m.); home daily with evenings off. Don't have a CDL yet? We have a paid in-house CDL training program. Apply for our Delivery Trainee role instead.
Responsibilities:
- Operate the Route: Operate a Class A CDL tractor-trailer or straight truck on an assigned local route, safely delivering beer, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages from the warehouse to retail customers on schedule.
- Serve the Customer: Deliver on the scheduled window with the right product in the right quantity. Rotate the retailer's stock, stock any out-of-stocks at the account, and partner with the sales rep on account needs.
- Operate Safely: Follow all safety policies and procedures, including pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections.
- Steward Equipment: Treat the tractor, trailer, wheeler, and any assigned electric pallet jack like the team, business, and company image depend on it. Keep trucks and trailer clean inside and out.
- Team Dependability: The team depends on each other. Reliable attendance and efficient route execution keep team resources and support available for everyone.
Rewards:
- Pay: $53,000 to $66,000 annually depending on experience and route assignment, with guaranteed 40 hours plus 5 hours of overtime every week. Routes are built to about 40 hours, so you finish your route and still get paid for the full 45; any hours beyond 45 earn additional overtime.
- Bi-weekly pay, plus on-demand pay available through Paylocity.
- Up to 20 days of paid time off in your first year.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus 401(k) with company match.
