As a Route Service Representative with a coveted 4-day workweek, you become the trusted face of Cintas for businesses across the region. This isn't just a delivery job; it's a dynamic sales and service role where you manage and grow customer accounts in the Rental Division.

It's a physical, fast-paced role blending indoor and outdoor work, perfect for those who thrive on variety, customer interaction, and uncapped earning potential through commissions and bonuses. With a comprehensive 10-week training program, you'll hit the ground running, learning everything from DOT regulations to advanced sales techniques tailored to the uniform rental industry.

Day in the Life

Your alarm buzzes early in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but excitement fuels you as you head to the Cintas location in the 53223 zip code area. After a quick safety check and loading your truck with prepped orders, you're on the road by 6:30 AM. First stop: a bustling auto repair shop on the south side. You greet the owner by name, inspect their uniform inventory, and suggest upsell options like anti-slip mats for the shop floor. A quick exchange, signatures on the digital tablet, and you're off—leaving them Ready™ for another productive day.

Next, navigate to a nearby manufacturing facility where you swap out soiled shop towels for clean ones, discuss inventory levels, and negotiate a renewal on their chemical cleaning products. Lunch is grabbed on the go—a Milwaukee staple like a bratwurst from a food truck—before tackling healthcare accounts. Here, precision matters: ensuring compliance-grade uniforms are delivered flawlessly. Afternoon brings growth opportunities; you spot potential for first aid kits and safety training services, pitching seamlessly to expand the account.

By 3 PM, routes wrap up. Back at base, you log metrics via our mobile app, review performance data, and join a quick team huddle for tips and motivation. Clock out by 4 PM, with Fridays often free. Evenings? Catch a Brewers game at American Family Field or stroll the Milwaukee RiverWalk. This rhythm repeats four days a week, blending physical activity, sales wins, and work-life balance in one of America's most livable cities.
