Fuel the Local Repair Industry

As a NAPA Auto Parts Commercial Route Driver, you step away from the retail counter and dive directly into B2B (Business-to-Business) logistics.

This role offers highly structured, predictable daytime hours and eliminates the stress of unpredictable gig-economy routing.

- Professional Handoff: You will bypass residential porches entirely, delivering directly to commercial service desks or chaotic garage bays, requiring excellent situational awareness.
- Core & Warranty Returns: Accurately process and transport dirty "core" parts (like old starters and brake calipers) from the repair shops back to the NAPA warehouse for remanufacturing.
- Cash & Invoice Handling: Manage commercial accounts on the road, occasionally handling COD (Cash on Delivery) transactions and ensuring invoice accuracy.
The NAPA Advantage
Enjoy a rock-solid daytime schedule, typically 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This role provides a calm, professional working environment, competitive hourly pay, and a full suite of corporate benefits including health insurance, 401(k), and paid holidays.
Requirements
Must be 18+ years old with a valid driver's license and an excellent driving record. Previous courier or commercial driving experience is highly preferred.
