Pac Rim Distribution is hiring experienced Class 1 Drivers for local delivery work across on Vancouver Island. This role is best suited for professionals who take pride in their work, value consistency, and prefer staying active throughout the day rather than spending hours behind the wheel alone.
If you’re looking for a hands-on driving role where you’re part of a strong team and build real relationships with customers, this is the opportunity.
About the Role
This is a fully local delivery position operating between the Cowichan Valley and Campbell River, typically involving multi-stop routes (approximately 8-15 stops per day). You’ll be responsible not just for driving, but for completing deliveries end-to-end—ensuring freight is handled safely, efficiently, and professionally at every stop.
Your day will typically involve a mix of:
- Palletized deliveries using proper unloading techniques
- Hand-cart deliveries directly into customer locations
- Regular interaction with customers at delivery points
This is not a drop-and-go position—you’ll be bringing product into customer locations, not leaving it at the curb. It’s a physically active role that requires effort, attention, and professionalism—but in return offers steady work, predictable routes, and a strong sense of ownership over your day.
Equipment & Operations
We invest in our drivers by providing:
- A reliable, well-maintained fleet supported by a comprehensive maintenance program
- A phased fleet replacement plan, with ongoing upgrades to newer equipment over time
- Well-maintained trailers to minimize downtime and mechanical issues
- Modern technology such as digital signature capture, electronic DVIRs, and route optimization tools to reduce paperwork and support efficient, well-planned routes
The goal is simple: keep you moving efficiently and focused on the job—not troubleshooting equipment.
What You Can Expect
- Competitive compensation — hourly pay, benefits, safe driving bonuses, and overtime opportunities
- Consistent, local work — no long-haul or overnight trips
- Structured schedules — primarily weekday, daytime operations
- Route consistency — build familiarity and strong customer relationships
- Active workdays — a mix of driving and physical delivery tasks
- Team-oriented environment — drivers are supported, not left on their own
Who This Role Is For
You’ll succeed here if you:
- Take pride in being a professional driver, not just a seat-holder
- Prefer a physically active role over long idle driving hours
- Are comfortable interacting with customers daily
- Value routine, structure, and consistency in your work
- Understand that efficiency, safety, and service all matter
Requirements
- Valid Class 1 Driver’s License with a clean driving record
- Minimum 6 months of Class 1 driving experience
- Ability to regularly lift up to 45 lbs
- Bondable (able to pass a background check)
- Strong communication skills and customer service mindset
