Driver, Delivery, Transportation

Hello, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for clicking on our job opportunity to learn more!

Let’s start with an introduction. We are Boston Battery Wholesale, a franchise of Interstate Batteries. Have you heard of us before? It’s ok if you haven’t, we don’t take it personal. To keep it simple, we sell batteries, but not just any batteries, we sell only the Interstate Battery brand which just so happens to be considered the most reliable battery on the market and is the preferred brand among automotive professionals.

Not familiar with batteries? That’s ok, most of us weren’t either before we started working here, but now, we know more about batteries than we ever thought possible….or even wanted to know!

Come on, you know you want to be a battery expert like us. You can learn more about us at  but for now, keep reading to learn about a career opportunity.
