Route Trainee

Overview

Route Trainee is a customer-focused role supporting the Sales Department by helping Route Sales Representatives with loading and unloading trucks, delivering and picking up products, maintaining vehicle safety, and covering assigned routes when needed. When covering routes, the individual will drive a company vehicle to and from customer stops along an assigned route. Routes are serviced early morning and daytime hours Monday through Friday, because in the Inderbitzin culture, we believe nights and weekends should be reserved for personal and family time.
