About the Job:

Please note, this position included direct-store delivery, counting and loading product, and issuing credits.

TNT Fireworks is currently hiring seasonal returns drivers to deliver consumer fireworks orders beginning June 20th and pick up unsold product from our FL and GA grocery and retail stores over a 2 week period beginning July 7th .

During returns, drivers will be assigned a territory and route of stores to pick up the unsold products from. As a back door (DSD) vendor, they are responsible to count, sort, and box returns, to be transported in compliance with DOT hazmat requirements, and upload the return counts to an iPad. Accurate return quantities are vital to ensure proper credit to each store.

Expectations are to work 10+ hour days M-F and partial day Saturday, with 34 continuous hours off duty over the weekend.

Top workers may earn the opportunity to travel to other states once our territory is complete. Most of our drivers are provided the opportunity to return to us each New Year’s and July seasons.

Key responsibilities:

• Properly count or verify with DSD Receiver, Claims associates, or store management quantities of each item for credit, and enter them into a iPad. Understanding of basic computer skills and Bluetooth are a must .
• Once counts are complete, sorting products based on three categories in separate pallets in the truck, properly packaged and blocked/braced in accordance to D.O.T. hazmat/company requirements.
• Communicate daily with office support staff to ensure the product is available and ready for pickup when you arrive at the stores.
• Must be professional as a company representative under pressure.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Class B CDL w/ hazmat will be required, but any Class B drivers are encouraged to apply and obtain hazmat endorsement by mid-October. Up to $150 in training/fees for obtaining hazmat may be reimbursed upon successful completion of the season. Hazmat background checks may take as long as 6-7 weeks to complete, so hazmat testing and fingerprints must be submitted to DMV by April 30th.
• Must be able to lift up to 40+ lb and able to reach above head to properly stack and secure the load.

Benefits:

• Pay for deliveries vary by route/mileage, but returns average $1000 - $1,500 per week during the two to three period. Returns are paid on a per-store basis, so motivated drivers have additional opportunities.
• A company credit card is provided for fuel and hotels. Upon completion of the season, up to $40 daily per diem is reimbursed to cover meals and personal expenses.

Overnight truck parking must be available at your residence or any off-site parking must be approved. Secure paid parking options may otherwise be discussed for reimbursement.
