If the load is heavy or there are a lot of deliveries, drivers may have a helper. When delivering the merchandise, drivers may receive money and have customers sign for the goods. At the end of the day, they turn in the delivery forms, cash, and a report of mechanical problems. The work of local truck drivers varies. They may drive one load to many different places during the day or they may take several loads to the same location.
Some drivers have sales and customer relations responsibilities.
In addition to delivering goods, they respond to complaints and requests for service. Drivers who stock shelves pay attention to which goods have sold and which have not. They may suggest changes in the store's order in order to have fewer goods sitting on the shelves. Drivers who fill vending machines replace stock in the machine and remove the money. They also make sure that the machines are working properly, make minor repairs, and clean the machines.
