The position available is for a CDL A Box Truck Delivery Driver who will be responsible for local deliveries of fresh produce and other perishable products. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a career in delivery driving within the foodservice distribution industry. The role demands a dependable and safety-conscious individual capable of managing daily routes with multiple stops and frequent customer interactions.

The employment type is full-time, offering a base pay with additional incentives to reward performance. Paid benefits are included, providing stability and support for employees beyond their paycheck.

In this role, drivers are expected to handle touch freight, which means using physical effort to lift, push, or move produce packages weighing from 40 to 100 pounds regularly. Beyond the physical demands, drivers will operate within a cross-dock model where they pick up loaded trucks from nightly deliveries at a designated loading dock and return the empty trucks at the conclusion of their assigned route. This job requires effective route management, timely deliveries, and the ability to interact professionally with customers to ensure satisfaction. Drivers will also be responsible for conducting vehicle inspections in compliance with Department of Transportation regulations and Sysco's safety policies.
