Distribution Truck Driver
Trade & Transport · Helsinki, Finland
JB-978 · Functional (B1) · 5 openings
A transport company based in the Vuosaari harbour area of Helsinki is hiring drivers for grocery distribution across the capital region. The fleet is temperature controlled and the routes are fixed, so the same driver serves the same shops every week. The contract is permanent.
About role
You load the roll cages at the terminal against the loading list, check the temperature record of the load space and secure the cages with bars before you leave. On the route you deliver to eight to fourteen shops, take back returnable crates and empty cages, and get the delivery note signed at each stop. Loading times are booked, so the route is driven to a timetable rather than a target. You run the daily check of the vehicle, keep the driver card in the tachograph and report any damage to the dispatcher before the end of the shift. Shifts start between 04:00 and 06:00.

A refrigerated terminal at one end and shop loading bays at the other, with several hours of the shift spent at the wheel. A high visibility vest, safety shoes and winter clothing for the cold store are mandatory and provided.
