Job Description

Performance Foodservice is a leading broadline food distributor operating under the umbrella of Performance Food Group (PFG). The company maintains a unique and vital relationship with a diverse customer base ranging from independent restaurants and hotels to healthcare facilities, schools, and quick-service eateries. Performance Foodservice prides itself on not just delivering high-quality food products but also offering expert guidance through a team of dedicated sales representatives, chefs, consultants, and operational specialists. These professionals work closely with customers to enhance their operations, develop menus, select products, and optimize strategies to help independent restaurant owners and foodservice providers succeed and achieve their dreams. This customer-centric approach combined with a commitment to delivering fresh and delicious food positions Performance Foodservice as a trusted leader in the food distribution industry.

Performance Foodservice is currently seeking dedicated and responsible Food and Food Service Delivery Drivers. This position is essential in the country’s food supply chain, playing a critical role in ensuring that food and related products reach customers safely, timely, and in excellent condition. Delivery drivers are not only responsible for the transportation and delivery of food but also serve as the face of the company, building strong and lasting relationships with customers through professionalism and reliability. The role involves driving tractor trailers or straight trucks on various routes including intrastate and interstate, local, over-the-road (OTR), shuttle, overnight, and drive-and-drop deliveries. Drivers must comply with all Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations to maintain safety and operational standards.

This is a 5-day workweek position requiring availability from Monday through Saturday, with dispatch times that may vary depending on operational needs. The role offers a competitive compensation package with earning potential exceeding $90,000 annually, supplemented by a sign-on bonus of $2,000 for eligible candidates. Performance Foodservice values its employees by providing comprehensive benefits from the very first day, including health and wellness coverage, an employee stock purchase plan, 401K with employer matching, education assistance programs, paid time off, and many more perks. The company fosters a safe and inclusive work environment where employees are recognized and rewarded for their contributions, and where teamwork and respect are foundational pillars.

Delivery drivers at Performance Foodservice are expected to conduct thorough safety checks before and after trips, including inspections of trucks and trailers, ensuring all freight is properly loaded and secured. They are also responsible for handling paperwork accurately, maintaining communication with customers and supervisors, and performing duties that support the overall delivery and product quality. This role requires physical dexterity, including the ability to hand-lift and operate equipment like two-wheelers and lift gates, as product cases can weigh anywhere between 10 to 90 pounds depending on location. Drivers contribute meaningfully to the logistics that keep America’s food distribution system moving efficiently and safely.

Besides the operational responsibilities, this position offers rich opportunities for career growth within the logistics and supply chain sector. Performance Foodservice supports its employees with further training and development, recognizing the essential nature of the work performed and its broader impact on the foodservice industry.

Joining Performance Foodservice as a delivery driver means becoming part of a team that is dedicated, caring, and committed to excellence. Drivers benefit not only from competitive pay and excellent benefits but also from a respectful and rewarding workplace culture, inclusive of diverse voices and strong ethical standards. A safe, supportive, and engaging work environment awaits dedicated individuals seeking to make a difference every day in America’s food distribution system.
