Location: Toronto, Ontario M6M 2Y2

How about driving a truck filled with Ontario’s most delicious,
farm-fresh food, as part of a team that’s trying to make the world a
more fair and more delicio

us place?

If the idea of good food, good people, and independence on the road
sound good to you, we’d love to meet you.

We’re 100km Foods and we’re looking to add a commercial truck driver
to our team.

Why Work @ 100km Foods

100km Foods started to connect local farmers with urban markets.
Through us, farmers get access to large, urban markets and urban
people get access to delicious, farm-fresh food. It’s a win-win for
all involved.

We deal fairly with farmers, allowing them to set their own prices,
and we seek to treat all of our employees, suppliers, clients, and
community with a high standard of fairness and cooperation. That led
us to become a certified B Corp (ever heard of that?).

Working with us, you’ll get to be a part of that purpose. You’ll work
with great people who care about what they do, who bring a positive
attitude to work, and who like to have fun.

You’ll also have freedom to do your job and solve problems
independently. In fact, the best drivers are the ones who can
creatively resolve day-to-day problems – a crop that’s been delayed or
an item that was left behind – keeping both farmers and clients happy.

You’ll also get lots of variety – half your days are spent driving
through southern Ontario farmland (approx. 100 km radius from
Toronto), collecting items from our many farm partners, and then
delivering them to the warehouse. The other half of your days, you’re
loading up your truck and making deliveries to some of Toronto’s best
chefs and restaurants.

If that sounds good, we’re looking for a driver for approximately 40
hours per week, with a typical week covering Monday to Thursday.
You’ll have lots of Fridays and every weekend off. Wages are $15/hour
with eligibility for increases and benefits after a year.

Absolutely essential:
• You are at least 25 years of age (for insurance reasons)
• You have a valid Ontario driver’s license with a clean abstract
• You can lift and carry up to 50 pounds
• You are fluent in English

• Commercial driving experience, ex. a cube van or larger
