Job Summary

Help us deliver the beverages Kansas celebrates with. Crown Distributors, a family-owned distributor, keeps Northeast Kansas supplied with the beer, beverage, and non-alcoholic brands retail accounts depend on. We're hiring a Delivery Supervisor to lead a team of Delivery Drivers and Delivery Trainees out of our Topeka facility. This is a leadership role that runs from the dock and the cab, not a desk. You run daily dispatch, ride with your drivers, adjust the day when weather or absences hit, and step onto a route yourself when the team needs it. You're the one making sure every truck rolls out ready and every account gets the right product, on time, safely.

Responsibilities

• Leading the Team: Run daily dispatch and lead your team of Delivery Drivers and Delivery Trainees to on-time, accurate, safe deliveries.
• Ride-Alongs and Coaching: Ride with your drivers regularly, review safety events with them, and coach to the standard.
• Adjusting the Day: Work with Routing on daily route assignments and reroute for weather, absences, and last-minute customer requests.
• Stepping In: Run a route yourself when the team needs coverage.
• Road-Ready Fleet: Work with Fleet & Facilities on maintenance and inspection follow-up so every truck rolls out ready.
• Closing the Day: Close out route issues and customer escalations with each driver, and report results to the Delivery Manager.
• People Management: Partner with the Delivery Manager and HR on hiring, coaching, and corrective action for your team.
• Customer Relationships: Own same-day customer escalations and work with the sales team on account needs.

Rewards

• Pay: $61,000-$70,000 per year
• Bi-weekly pay, plus on-demand pay available through Paylocity.
• 10 days of paid vacation to start, accrued as you work, plus paid holidays.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus 401(k) with company match.
• Room to grow into delivery management.

Requirements
