About the position Every day, our drivers travel all over the Bay Area picking up donations that they bring back to our ReStores. As a truck driver's assistant you'll start at our Concord location in the morning and spend the day with the driver traveling around the bay in a commercial box truck, helping to load interesting (and sometimes large) donations like furniture and appliances, seeing parts of the Bay Area you never knew were there and enjoying good company and good conversation. No experience is necessary, and we provide all the necessary stuff to move items, like straps and dollies.
