Then, the driver will receive one half of their regular rate as thus determined multiplied by the number of hours in excess of forty that the driver worked in that week. Thus, for example, if a driver has a daily rate of $220 and works 45 hours in a work week over the course of five days, then the driver's total compensation will be ($220)(5) = $1,100. Dividing that total compensation by hours results in ($1,100) / (45 hrs.) = $24.44/hr. One half of $24.44 is $12.22. The driver worked 5 hours in excess of forty hours and therefore receives the following additional pay for overtime: (5) ($12.44) = $61.11 **Essential Duties and Responsibilities** The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following: ### Driving & Delivery - Operate a **24-foot straight truck** over assigned delivery routes - Safely deliver a wide variety of cold dairy products to multiple customer locations and collect empty cases. - Load, secure, and unload products using proper handling techniques - Manually unload cases using carts, dollies, and other tools - Use GPS and route information to ensure efficient deliveries - Verify delivery counts, inventory accuracy, and product condition - Collect payments from customers and issue receipts when required ### Safety & Compliance - Follow all **DOT, FMCSA, and traffic regulations** - Perform **pre-trip and post-trip inspections** - Complete driver logs and/or inspection reports - Report accidents, safety issues, or vehicle defects immediately - Maintain vehicle cleanliness and basic equipment care ### Documentation and Communication - Complete delivery paperwork and handheld entries - Submit daily customer paperwork including invoices, load orders, and handheld reports - Communicate effectively with dispatch, supervisors, and customers - Resolve delivery discrepancies and report issues to management ### Training and Development - Participate in annual driver safety training - Maintain knowledge of DOT regulations, accident reporting, and customer service standards ### **Qualifications** **Required** - **Valid Class A or Class B CDL** - Minimum**6 months of commercial driving and delivery experience** - Ability to lift up to **75 pounds** - Must pass pre-employment drug screening - Valid DOT medical certificate - Clean or solid driving record - Ability to operate a commercial vehicle in various weather and traffic conditions **Preferred** - 2+ years of delivery driving experience - Experience with straight trucks and route delivery ### **Skills & Competencies** - Strong customer service and communication skills - Dependable and punctual - Good organizational and time-management abilities - Proficient in maneuvering, parking, and operating large vehicles ### **Physical Demands & Work Environment** - Regularly required to sit for extended periods while driving - Frequently required to lift and move up to **75** **pounds**, occasionally mor…
