- Obtain proof of delivery and document shortages, refusals, concealed damage, delays, and customer concerns.
- Protect fragile products from impact, tipping, vibration, weather, contamination, and unauthorized handling.
- Communicate route progress, delays, equipment concerns, delivery exceptions, safety issues, and return-material status.
- Support warehouse and production activities such as loading, picking, receiving, staging, cycle counting, housekeeping, and material movement when not assigned to a route.
- Maintain the vehicle cab, cargo area, dock, and assigned work areas in a clean and orderly condition.
