This position is essential for maintaining the flow of critical energy resources, contributing directly to Marathon's mission of powering communities and industries while upholding the highest safety standards in a dynamic logistics environment. Daily responsibilities include conducting thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections of transport vehicles to ensure compliance with DOT regulations and company safety protocols. You will expertly load and unload hazardous materials, adhering to strict handling procedures to prevent spills or accidents, and navigate regional routes using GPS and route optimization tools for timely deliveries. Weekly tasks involve logging hours of service accurately in electronic systems, performing basic vehicle maintenance like checking fluid levels and tire pressure, and collaborating with dispatch teams and warehouse staff to coordinate schedules and resolve delivery issues. Monthly duties encompass participating in safety training sessions, reviewing performance metrics such as on-time delivery rates and fuel efficiency, and reporting any vehicle defects or incidents to supervisors. You will also interact with customers at delivery sites to confirm orders and ensure satisfaction, while mentoring newer drivers on best practices when applicable. These activities demand precision, as key metrics like zero safety incidents and 98% on-time performance directly impact operational success.
