About Store & Haul
Store & Haul is a second-generation, family-owned food-grade bulk liquid transportation and tank-wash company based in Van Wert, OH.

We operate a fleet of tractors and stainless steel tankers with our own wash bays and depot facilities, and we are known for a serious commitment to safety, quality, and compliance.
Schedule & After-Hours
This is a full-time salaried role averaging about 45 hours per week. It also requires taking some calls after hours and on weekends to catch inbound driver leads so we do not lose strong candidates to faster carriers. Apply only if you are comfortable with this expectation.
