Delivery Van Driver
CurrentMy responsibilities as a Gordon Food Service van driver are centered around providing a service to customers. Small restaurant owners do not have the time or labor to spend on going to buy ingredients from a store. These customers rely on the GFS vans as the last step in the supply chain before they get the resources they need to keep their restaurants running. In the morning, I unload semi-truck loads of grocery goods and sort them. I sort the goods by the following categories: frozen, cooler, or dry goods. I then make sure that the goods are stored in the proper environment so that the goods do not spoil. After this, I sort the goods according to their respective delivery locations and by which route we would be able to fit each location in. I have to load each van and be aware not to damage the goods and stack them so that they will be sturdy enough to not topple over. Ultimately, I have to deliver the goods to each customer which takes, on average, about four hours of drive time each shift.
