Reports directly to ownership

Store & Haul is a second-generation, family‑owned food‑grade bulk liquid transportation and tank‑wash company based in Van Wert, OH. Since 1991 we've grown from a small regional carrier into a trusted logistics partner for major food manufacturers, hauling food‑grade bulk liquids across the Midwest and East. We run a fleet of tractors and stainless steel tankers with our own wash bays and depot facilities, and we're known for a serious commitment to safety, quality, and compliance.

This is a recruiting‑first role with a safety and compliance side. You'll own driver recruiting end to end and keep our DOT and safety files audit‑ready. You will report directly to ownership and have real ownership of how we fill our trucks.
