Job Responsibilities
I start the day by loading my delivery truck with product that I ordered from
the previous week. This takes me approximately 20 minutes to complete. After I
fill my truck and leave the warehouse, I drive to my first account(retail store)
and sale in items that they need. I also pick up any out of date product and
count on-hands and place orders for next week. Each account varies on time
usually between 30 minutes to an hour and a half.
After completing sales on my handheld computer, I go to my truck and print an
invoice and pull my load to take in to the store. A store receiver checks me in
and I stock the products on the shelf.

The worst part about this job is the hours. You do work long days. Sometimes
10 hours and sometimes more. Don't be suprised working 14 hour days during
summer months when busy season hits. Come winter time, it slows down quite a
bit.
