This is a fully local delivery position operating between the Cowichan Valley and Campbell River, typically involving multi-stop routes (approximately 8-15 stops per day). You’ll be responsible not just for driving, but for completing deliveries end-to-end—ensuring freight is handled safely, efficiently, and professionally at every stop. 

Your day will typically involve a mix of

• Palletized deliveries using proper unloading techniques 
• Hand-cart deliveries directly into customer locations 
• Regular interaction with customers at delivery points 

This is not a drop-and-go position—you’ll be bringing product into customer locations, not leaving it at the curb.

• A phased fleet replacement plan, with ongoing upgrades to newer equipment over time 
• Well-maintained trailers to minimize downtime and mechanical issues 
• Modern technology such as digital signature capture, electronic DVIRs, and route optimization tools to reduce paperwork and support efficient, well-planned routes 

The goal is simple: keep you moving efficiently and focused on the job—not troubleshooting equipment. 

What You Can Expect

• Competitive compensation — hourly pay, benefits, safe driving bonuses, and overtime opportunities 
• Consistent, local work — no long-haul or overnight trips 
• Structured schedules — primarily weekday, daytime operations 
• Route consistency — build familiarity and strong customer relationships 
• Active workdays — a mix of driving and physical delivery tasks 
• Team-oriented environment — drivers are supported, not left on their own
