Delivery Driver Jobs in Ohio

Copia Farm is looking for a dependable, physically capable full-time Delivery Driver & Warehouse Operator to join our team long-term.

This is a hands-on position combining delivery driving, warehouse organization, loading and unloading, inventory movement, forklift work, and care of our delivery vehicles.

Our routes are not just easy highway driving. Much of the work involves rural and country roads, farms, gravel drives, tight delivery areas, city traffic, changing weather, and winter conditions. You need to be a confident, careful driver who is comfortable operating vans and box trucks in both the country and the city, including snow and difficult weather.

We are also looking for someone who is genuinely good-natured and pleasant to work with. This person will represent Copia with customers, wholesale accounts, farmers, vendors, and our internal team, so being steady, respectful, helpful, and professional matters.

When you are not on the road, you will help keep our warehouse organized and moving efficiently.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive vans and box trucks for farm deliveries and pickups
• Run regular routes throughout Central Ohio and surrounding areas
• Drive rural roads, country roads, farms, gravel drives, highways, and city routes
• Drive safely in rain, snow, ice, and changing winter conditions
• Make approximately 5–12 stops on delivery days
• Load and unload perishable farm products
• Verify product counts before leaving and at each stop
• Keep deliveries, returns, and pickups organized
• Communicate clearly and kindly with customers, farmers, vendors, and the Copia team
• Safely operate a forklift and pallet jack
• Move and organize pallets
• Receive incoming freight and deliveries
• Help organize warehouse inventory
• Keep freezer, cooler, and warehouse storage areas orderly
• Stage products for upcoming routes
• Maintain clean, organized loading and receiving areas
• Perform a daily vehicle inspection before leaving
• Check tires, tire pressure, fluids, lights, mirrors, and general vehicle condition
• Keep vans and box trucks clean inside and out
• Keep cargo areas clean and ready for food deliveries
• Stay aware of oil changes, tire wear, DEF, maintenance schedules, and other service needs
• Report maintenance needs, damage, warning lights, or driving issues immediately
• Take pride in caring for company vehicles and equipment
• Jump in wherever needed when the operation is busy

This Is Very Physical Work

This is not a sit-and-drive-only position.

You will regularly be moving:

• 25 lb egg boxes
• 40 lb milk crates
• Meat boxes and frozen products
• Cases of food and beverages
• Pallets and freight
• Repeated loads throughout the day

Expect regular lifting, carrying, bending, pushing, pulling, loading, unloading, walking, and working in coolers and freezers.

You should be comfortable working hard physically for a full shift.

Who We’re Looking For

A strong fit will be someone who is:

• Extremely reliable
• On time and ready to work
• Physically strong and capable
• Forklift certified
• Experienced with warehouse operations
• Comfortable driving vans and box trucks
• Confident driving both rural roads and city routes
• Comfortable driving in snow and winter weather
• A safe, careful, defensive driver
• Good-natured, respectful, and easy to work with
• Friendly and professional with customers
• Highly organized
• Detail-oriented with counts and paperwork
• Comfortable working independently
• Calm when schedules or routes change
• Careful with vehicles, equipment, and product
• Able to notice maintenance needs before they become larger problems
• Willing to keep vehicles clean and orderly
• Able to take ownership without constant reminders
• Low-drama, steady, and dependable
• Looking for a long-term position

Required Experience

• Valid driver’s license
• Clean driving record
• Experience operating a forklift and pallet jack
• Experience driving vans, box trucks, or similar commercial vehicles
• Warehouse, logistics, delivery, farm, construction, or other physical-work experience
• Ability to repeatedly lift and carry approximately 40–50 lbs
• Comfortable working in refrigerated and freezer environments
• Comfortable driving in rural areas and winter weather
• Strong references

Experience with refrigerated food delivery, farm products, wholesale routes, palletized freight, trailers, vehicle maintenance, or agricultural work is especially helpful.

Not a Good Fit If

This probably is not the right position if you:

• Only want to drive and do not want warehouse work
• Do not like heavy physical work
• Are uncomfortable driving rural roads or in snow
• Struggle with organization or product counts
• Need frequent reminders to finish tasks
• Are careless with vehicles or equipment
• Do not notice or report maintenance issues
• Are unwilling to keep vehicles clean
• Regularly run late
• Become easily overwhelmed when plans change
• Are unfriendly or impatient with customers or coworkers
• Are looking for a temporary job

What Success Looks Like

The right person will eventually be able to independently own:

• Safe and dependable route execution
• Accurate loading and delivery counts
• Daily vehicle inspections
• Van and box truck cleanliness
• Tire, fluid, and maintenance awareness
• Early communication about vehicle issues
• Safe winter and rural driving
• Customer communication
• Warehouse organization
• Forklift and pallet movement
• Receiving and staging freight
• Keeping products where they belong
• Recognizing problems early and communicating them

This is an important role in our growing farm business. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing physical work well, enjoys being on the road, cares for the equipment they use, likes an organized warehouse, treats people well, and wants to become a dependable long-term part of our team.
