About the role

  • A Route Sales Representative (RSR) is responsible for ordering, sales, and delivery of fresh baked products.
  • The successful candidate must come to work with a neat, professional appearance (sometimes in a uniform) and be able to build and maintain strong relationships with customers.
  • Drivers will check their delivery vehicle daily, keeping accurate records, quickly reporting maintenance issues, and filling out daily driver’s logs, time logs, and hours of service.
  • This position will require flexibility to work varying workdays and early morning start times, generally around 3:00am with days off on Wednesday and Sunday.
