Job Description
PFG Customized Distribution is a leading foodservice distribution company that specializes in meeting the customized needs of some of America’s most recognized national chain restaurants, including Cracker Barrel, TGI Friday’s, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, and Ruby Tuesday. With a vast network extending across the United States and into more than 40 countries worldwide, PFG Customized Distribution plays a vital role in the food supply chain by providing tailored distribution solutions that help restaurants efficiently manage product lines, menu changes, and account coordination. This company is known for its commitment to quality, customer service, and operational excellence, ensuring their clients receive timely deliveries and consistent support for their foodservice needs.
The role of a CDL-A Delivery Driver at PFG Customized Distribution is a critical position underlying the company’s success in supporting America’s food distribution system. This full-time role offers competitive compensation with pay up to $90,000 yearly, distributed bi-weekly, along with flexible scheduling options to promote work-life balance. Drivers typically operate on 3 to 4-day over-the-road (OTR) runs, returning home weekly with overnight shifts required. These drivers ensure that food and related products are delivered safely, securely, and punctually to various customers, upholding the company’s standards and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations at all times.
As a face of the company, CDL-A Drivers are responsible not only for the physical delivery of goods but also for fostering positive relationships with customers, vendors, and colleagues. Their duties extend from performing pre-trip and post-trip inspections of tractor trailers or straight trucks to verifying shipments, completing accurate documentation, and handling any necessary issue resolution including damaged goods or customer returns. Safety is paramount in this role, with drivers required to strictly follow all DOT rules, perform thorough equipment and cargo inspections, and report any safety hazards or maintenance needs immediately.
In addition to the operational responsibilities, drivers contribute to a team-oriented culture that values respect, recognition, and employee well-being. PFG Customized Distribution supports their drivers with comprehensive benefits starting from day one, such as health and wellness benefits, an employee stock purchase plan, 401K employer matching, education assistance, and paid time off. This position offers ample growth opportunities for those who are passionate about essential work that sustains the nation’s food distribution infrastructure.
Candidates must be at least 21 years old with a valid CDL-A license, a clean motor vehicle record for the past three years, and the ability to pass drug, background, and road tests.

This combination of qualifications and support ensures that CDL-A Delivery Drivers at PFG Customized are well equipped to meet the demands of the job while contributing significantly to the company’s mission and reputation in the foodservice industry.
