Throughout the day, you'll maintain communication with dispatch to report your progress and address any unexpected issues.

At the end of your route, you'll return to the distribution center, unload any remaining products, and perform a post-trip inspection of your vehicle. You'll also complete all necessary paperwork and documentation.
