Tire & Lubricant Distribution Route Driver

Ready to own your route?

Picture this: It’s 4:55am at U.S. AutoForce, the distribution arm of U.S. Venture, Inc. You’ve completed your pre‑trip, reviewed your handheld, and you’re rolling out in a well‑maintained box truck packed with tires, undercar parts, and lubricants your customers are counting on. By 5:00am, your Monday–Friday shift is in motion. You’ll typically wrap around 1:30pm—unless your last delivery takes you a little longer. Saturdays rotate, and overtime can come into play when business surges.

Your mission

• Make 10–20 precise, on‑time deliveries per day in a box truck under 26,001 lbs—no matter the weather
• Keep meticulous driver and fuel logs and follow all company and legal requirements
• Use a handheld device to confirm every item is delivered; collect payments when required
• Perform pre‑ and post‑trip inspections to keep equipment safe and compliant
• Jump in to load/unload and, when needed, run forklifts, pallet jacks, or order pickers
• Lift 50 lbs routinely and up to 80 lbs occasionally; use team lifts or mechanical aids for commercial tires
• When working with barrels or industrial/ag tires, apply up to 40 lbs of pushing force
• Expect 8–12 hour days and be flexible for changing needs
• Pitch in on other reasonable tasks as directed by your supervisor
