Fuel the Modern Workplace

Corporate breakrooms and university lounges require constant replenishment. As a Vending Route Step Van Driver, you are responsible for executing the daily restock of snack machines, beverage coolers, and automated self-checkout "micro-markets." You will pilot a specialized commercial step van—often equipped with custom shelving and refrigeration units—to deliver fresh food, snacks, and drinks. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want a driving job that keeps you physically moving, this is your perfect fit.

Merchandising & Step Van Operations

• Walk-In Ergonomics: Utilize the step van's walk-in cargo bay to quickly pull highly organized totes of snacks and beverages, completely avoiding the back strain associated with crawling into standard cargo vans.
• Route Fulfillment: Execute a pre-planned daily route, navigating the step van to 15 to 25 commercial and educational locations to service their breakroom equipment.
• Physical Merchandising: Unload heavy cases of beverages utilizing hand trucks. You will utilize handheld technology to audit inventory, restock machines using strict "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) rotation, and ensure displays are visually appealing.
• Cash Handling: Collect cash boxes from traditional vending machines and perform basic, on-site mechanical troubleshooting.

The Route Advantage

Enjoy early morning dispatch times (often starting at 4:00 AM or 5:00 AM), which allows you to beat the morning rush hour and finish your workday by the early afternoon. You work completely independently once you leave the warehouse, managing your own pace and enjoying steady, predictable pay.

Requirements

Must be at least 21 years of age. You must possess a valid driver's license, a clean motor vehicle record, and the ability to pass a DOT physical to operate commercial step vans. Extreme physical fitness is required; you must be capable of repetitively lifting heavy cases of water and soda (up to 50 lbs). A clean background check is mandatory due to frequent cash handling.
