Help NAPA Tools and Equipment Get the Show on the Road

When you hear “NAPA tool truck,” the first thing you might think of is a small, white pickup with a NAPA hat atop its cab. That’s what immediately came to my mind when I heard NAPA is looking to hire a commercial truck driver. I quickly learned, though, that this is no ordinary NAPA truck. It’s a 53-foot race hauler converted into a mobile tool store that travels to NAPA stores and events.

The commercial truck driver position is responsible for driving the tractor/trailer over-the-road – mostly on the East Coast – to Rock & Roll Sales Event sites. He or she will also help set up and take down the events, and may help in staffing events, too. Because this position will include interacting with NAPA customers, sponsors and business partners, the chosen candidate must be friendly, approachable and professional.

This position is certainly a unique one, and it supports a unique and exciting series of events. If you or someone you know may be qualified and interested, you can read the full job description below. Apply by sending a resume to Kim Brown at Bill McAnally Racing: [email protected].

I recently had a chance to browse a similar rig at NAPA EXPO. The variety of tools and equipment on hand was both staggering and endlessly fascinating. The Rock & Roll Sales Event will continue to bring the same buzz to more venues soon. Rather as its truck driver or otherwise, I urge you to stop and check it out.
