What It’s Like to Be an Auto Auction Driver in Phoenix

If you like driving and want steady, flexible work, an auto auction driver job might be a great fit. It’s one of the most popular roles we fill at FLAT Staffing.

What Auction Drivers Do

• Drive vehicles through the auction lanes and around the lot.

• Park vehicles in their assigned spots.

• Follow vehicle handling and safety procedures.

• Work with the team to keep the auction running on time.

On sale days, things move fast. Drivers help make sure every car is in the right place at the right time.

Who This Job Is Great For

Auction driving often works well for people who want part-time or flexible work, like retirees, students, stay-at-home parents or anyone looking for steady extra income.

You get to drive a wide variety of vehicles, and you don’t need prior experience to get started.

What You Need

• A valid driver’s license.

• The ability to safely operate a range of vehicles.

• To pass a background check and drug test.

• Reliable transportation and on-time attendance.

Tips for Doing Well

• Show up on time, every time. Auctions start on schedule.

• Drive carefully. Every vehicle is someone’s inventory.

• Listen to the lane and lot staff and follow directions.

• Stay alert. Lots are busy, and people are always moving.

Temp-to-Hire Opportunities

Many FLAT roles are temp-to-hire. When a worker gets hired on, they earn a FLAT advancement trophy and a spot on our Advancements wall.
