The Delivery Driver role at US Foods is vital to the company’s ongoing success and reputation.

This position is designed for individuals who enjoy active roles that combine physical exertion with customer service.

US Foods drivers benefit from local routes that keep them close to home, guaranteed minimum 40 hours of work weekly, paid training, and paid overtime. The company also recognizes service and dedication through employee rewards and provides excellent leadership to support career growth within the organization. Benefits begin day one and include medical, dental, vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), life insurance, and paid parental leave. A unique aspect of this role is the requirement to register with the FMCSA Clearinghouse, a secure database monitoring commercial driver's license (CDL) holders for compliance with drug and alcohol policies, ensuring safety standards are met.
