Description

Delivery Driver

We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and proactive Delivery Driver to support the daily distribution of meals and snacks to local schools in the Bakersfield area. This is not a traditional driving role—this is a mission-driven position where every delivery directly impacts students and ensures they receive high-quality nutrition on time, every day. You will operate as a key partner in daily operations, executing routes, maintaining inventory accuracy, and safely operating a company delivery van on public roadways while representing the organization at each school site.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, route-based environment, takes pride in precision, and enjoys being on the move while making a real impact every day.

What You'll Do

  • Deliver meals and snacks to assigned school sites on a daily route
  • Load, verify, and accurately count all orders before departure
  • Safely operate a company delivery van on public roads
  • Follow assigned routes and coordinate with dispatch as needed
  • Ensure food quality and temperature standards are maintained
  • Verify deliveries, obtain signatures, and complete basic documentation
  • Communicate professionally with school staff during deliveries
  • Report delays, issues, or discrepancies to dispatch or management
  • Follow all food safety and vehicle safety procedures
  • Maintain cleanliness and organization of delivery vehicle
  • Support loading, unloading, and occasional additional operational tasks

What You Bring

  • Minimum 1 year of delivery driving experience (vans preferred)
  • Valid Class C driver's license with a clean driving record
  • Ability to pass background check, drug screen, and driving assessment
  • Basic understanding of food safety and handling procedures
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to work early morning shifts and occasional overtime
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional attitude
  • Ability to work independently and follow structured routes

Work Environment

  • Fast-paced, route-based delivery environment
  • Work performed in a delivery van and at school sites
  • Exposure to refrigerated and temperature-controlled food products
  • Early morning start times required
  • Physical work including lifting, walking, loading, and unloading
