Drive the Professional Image of Your Community

Local businesses, factories, and healthcare facilities rely on pristine, clean uniforms to operate safely and professionally. As a Uniform Route Step Van Driver (often called a Route Sales Representative), you are the cornerstone of this service. You will pilot a custom-racked commercial step van through a dedicated geographical territory, picking up soiled garments and delivering freshly laundered uniforms on hangers. This is one of the most stable, relationship-driven route driving positions available.

Uniform Routing Operations

• Step Van Inventory Management: The step van is designed as a mobile closet. You will walk into the cargo bay to accurately locate, load, and unload clean garments, ensuring each employee at the client's business receives their specific uniform order.
• Dedicated Route Execution: Navigate your commercial step van along a highly structured, repetitive daily route, servicing 30 to 50 commercial customers per day.
• Customer Relationship Management: Act as the primary face of the company. You will build strong rapport with business owners, addressing service concerns and executing digital invoicing on the spot.
• Route Growth & Sales: Proactively identify opportunities to upsell additional facility services (like restroom supplies or floor mats) to earn commission bonuses.

The B2B Route Advantage

This role offers incredible stability. You will work a standard Monday-to-Friday schedule with early morning starts and no weekend requirements. Because you visit the same customers weekly, the stress of unpredictable routing is eliminated, and the step van design makes loading and unloading highly ergonomic.

Requirements

Must be at least 21 years old. You need a valid U.S. driver's license with a safe driving record (DOT card often required). Exceptional customer service skills and a highly professional appearance are mandatory. You must be physically capable of lifting and carrying heavy bags of soiled laundry (up to 50 lbs) continuously.
