The role of a US Foods Driver is pivotal in maintaining the high standards the company is known for. This position involves safely operating trucks to deliver products to customers, ensuring timely and accurate deliveries that meet customer expectations. Drivers play a crucial role in directly representing the company and are often the primary point of contact between US Foods and its clients. The role requires delivering products, unloading trailers using equipment such as two-wheelers and pallet jacks, verifying delivery accuracy with customer signatures, handling collections and payments when necessary, and performing pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections.

This position typically operates Monday through Saturday with early morning shifts starting between 3 AM and 6 AM.
