Job Description
Job Position for Driver
Company drivers are responsible for the safe and efficient delivery of goods or
materials. They spend their days on the road, hauling everything from furniture to
food to auto parts. Their job is physically demanding but they also have to be
attentive to details such as traffic patterns, weather conditions, and other factors that
could impact their safety while driving.
Company Driver Job Duties
A company driver typically has a wide range of responsibilities, which can include:
Delivering freight to specified locations within a set timeframe
Inspecting vehicles for damage, noting any mechanical problems, or loading
and securing cargo
Driving trucks that are equipped with specialized equipment such as tractors,
trailers, or tankers
Following company rules regarding hours of service and rest periods
Working with dispatchers to determine the best route to take based on traffic
conditions or any other factors that may impact safety or delivery time
Maintaining accurate records of mileage, fuel usage, and other data related to
a shipment’s progress
Loading and unloading cargo onto trucks using forklifts, cranes, or other heavy
equipment
Enforcing company policies regarding the safe operation of trucks and
equipment
Following rules regarding vehicle inspections and maintenance, such as
checking tire pressure and oil levels regularly
Company Driver Skills
Company drivers need the following skills in order to be successful:
Time management: Time management is the ability to plan and execute tasks in a
timely manner. Company drivers often have a set schedule of stops and deliveries that
they must adhere to. This requires them to plan their routes and drive at a safe speed
to ensure they arrive at their destinations on time.
Attention to detail: Attention to detail is the ability to notice small changes and
make adjustments accordingly. Company drivers often have to follow strict schedules
and routes, so it’s important to pay close attention to the details of your job. This can
help you complete your tasks on time and ensure you don’t miss any important
information. It can also help you avoid accidents and keep your vehicle in good
condition.
Customer service: Customer service skills can help you interact with customers and
clients. As a company driver, you may be responsible for delivering products or
services to customers. Customer service skills can help you communicate with
customers and ensure they are satisfied with your service. You can also use customer
service skills to answer questions about your company’s products or services.
Mechanical aptitude: A company driver’s mechanical aptitude is the ability to
understand and perform basic vehicle maintenance. This includes knowing how to
check the oil, change a tire and perform other routine tasks. Having a strong aptitude
for mechanical skills can help you save money by performing your own maintenance
and prevent costly breakdowns.
Communication: Communication is the act of exchanging information. Company
drivers must be able to communicate with their dispatcher, other drivers and other
members of their team. They must also be able to communicate with customers and
suppliers. Effective communication can help you build strong relationships with others
and improve your overall job performance.
