Role Overview

Imagine starting your day in the vibrant community of Abbotsford, British Columbia, stepping into a Cintas truck loaded with crisp uniforms, fresh shop towels, and essential cleaning products. As a Route Service Representative (4-Day Workweek) at Cintas, you become the trusted face of one of Canada's leading facility services providers. This isn't just a delivery job—it's a dynamic role where you manage and grow customer accounts along an established route. Picture yourself building lasting relationships with local businesses, from bustling restaurants to manufacturing plants in the Fraser Valley, while enjoying the flexibility of a 4-day workweek that leaves you with three days to recharge amidst Abbotsford's stunning natural beauty.

Cintas, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, but with a strong presence across Canada, empowers you to service an existing customer base while driving revenue growth. You'll deliver and pick up uniforms, chemical cleaning products, mats, and other facility essentials.

Our Route Service Representatives thrive on the commission potential that rewards your hustle, turning every route into an opportunity for personal financial growth.

In Abbotsford, this role taps into the region's booming agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors.

Day in the Life

Your alarm goes off early in Abbotsford—around 5:30 AM on one of your four workdays. After a quick breakfast overlooking the Fraser River, you head to the Cintas depot in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Here, you join your team for a brief huddle: route updates, safety reminders, and sales targets for the day. Your truck is pre-loaded with fresh inventory, and you perform a quick vehicle check before hitting the road by 6:30 AM.

First stop: a local automotive shop in Abbotsford. You unload clean uniforms, inspect their soiled ones, and chat with the owner about adding shop towels. Spotting an opportunity, you upsell a new mat service, securing an add-on sale. Next, a manufacturing facility in nearby Mission—you resolve a minor sizing issue proactively, strengthening loyalty and negotiating a renewal on the spot.

By mid-morning, you're weaving through Abbotsford's industrial parks, handling deliveries with efficiency. Lunch is grabbed on the go—perhaps a quick stop at a local eatery you've serviced. Afternoon brings collections, inventory audits, and more relationship-building. Back at the depot by 3-4 PM, you log sales, clean your truck, and debrief with your manager. Home by evening, you've earned commission on new sales, with weekends and an extra day off to hike Sumas Mountain or explore Cultus Lake.

This rhythm repeats four days a week, no nights or weekends for most, blending physical work, sales savvy, and customer interaction in a supportive team environment.
