Local drivers typically start a route by conducting an inspection of the vehicle they’ve been assigned for the day, speaking with maintenance workers if necessary, and assist with loading procedures. Once loaded, they safely navigate local roads to their destinations. Drivers must communicate to management about faults that develop with their vehicle during the day and fill out the appropriate maintenance or repair requests. Some local drivers may be required to carry hazmat or other special certifications, along with a heavy vehicle endorsement from the DMV.
