Job Description & Requirements
Drivers must be avid-expert cyclists who demonstrate an ability to safely drive a vehicle ranging in size from a cargo-foot van with a loading ramp, to a 26-foot straight truck with a lift gate. Kitzuma Drivers are not required to have a Commercial Driver’s License, but must comply with all USDOT regulations. All hires will be trained regardless of experience in both DOT regulations and internal policies and procedures.
Kitzuma Drivers are responsible for pickups and deliveries in a designated geographic area. In most cases, drivers will be on the road for 1-4 days at a time.
