The Food and Food Service Delivery Driver role at Performance Foodservice is essential in ensuring the seamless delivery of products that support America's food supply chain. Drivers are more than just transporters of goods; they are vital representatives of the company interacting daily with customers and suppliers alike. Their role requires driving tractor trailers or straight trucks over local, intrastate, interstate, and over-the-road routes. This may include shuttle, overnight, and drive-and-drop deliveries.
Delivery drivers are responsible for maintaining the quality and timeliness of food and related products while adhering strictly to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and company safety policies. The position involves working shifts averaging 10 to 12 hours, typically 4 to 5 days per week with split days off and no Sunday work, accommodating business needs. Drivers dispatch between 12 AM and 5 AM based on their assigned routes.
The daily responsibilities encompass conducting thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections, securing freight properly, ensuring accurate paperwork, and maintaining safety reporting. Drivers also unload goods, communicate professionally with customers, collect payment when necessary, and manage customer returns. Their attention to detail and commitment to safety safeguards the reputation and operational success of Performance Foodservice.
This role is ideal for candidates with a valid CDL Class A license, a clean driving record, and the physical capability to handle freight that can range from lighter cases to heavier products requiring lift gate and two-wheeler equipment. It presents opportunities for career growth within a company that values essential workers who play a critical role in fueling America’s food industry.
