Job Description
The Delivery Driver position uses a Dunn Lumber vehicle to make safe, accurate, and on time deliveries to job sites in the greater Seattle area. Drivers work closely with Load Builders, Delivery Coordinators, and Dispatch as they load, transport, and unload deliveries from their home yard to local job sites.
