Job Description

Sysco Corporation is a global leader in selling, marketing, and distributing food products to restaurants, healthcare, and educational facilities. Established with a commitment to delivering quality products and exceptional customer service, Sysco has grown to become the largest foodservice distributor in North America. The company prides itself on fostering a dynamic work environment that values integrity, diversity, and growth opportunities for its employees. Located across numerous regions, Sysco supports a vast network of clients with timely deliveries and efficient logistics management, solidifying its reputation as a key player in the foodservice distribution industry.

The CDL A Local Delivery Truck Driver role at Sysco is a critical position dedicated to ensuring the smooth and timely delivery of products to customers. This position offers a competitive compensation package, including a notable $10,000 sign-on bonus, reflecting the importance of experienced and reliable drivers within the company. As a local delivery driver, the successful candidate will operate daily routes with frequent stops, requiring organization and physical endurance to load and unload packages efficiently and safely.

The role involves working within a cross-dock model, where the driver picks up a loaded truck from a nightly delivery at an assigned loading dock and returns the empty truck to the designated lot at the end of the route. This position requires attention to detail, excellent customer service skills, and adherence to safety standards, including Department of Transportation regulations. Drivers may occasionally assist with loading trucks, palletizing products, and performing other duties as assigned by supervisors or managers. The work environment demands flexibility, with potential overtime, weekend, and holiday shifts as business needs require.

Sysco values drivers who can consistently meet or exceed designated route times while maintaining professional interactions with customers. Responsibilities extend beyond driving and delivery to include verifying deliveries through obtaining proper signatures, addressing any discrepancies or customer complaints, and ensuring that company equipment is properly handled. The physical aspect of the job is demanding, with frequent lifting, pushing, or moving products weighing up to 100 pounds, bending, twisting, and navigating ramps, stairs, or docks in various weather conditions.

This opportunity is ideal for individuals who enjoy active, hands-on roles and take pride in delivering quality service. With the emphasis on safety, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, this role offers significant career growth potential within Sysco's expansive logistics and delivery network. Candidates must demonstrate a clean driving record, a valid Class A CDL, and the ability to communicate proficiently in English. With added benefits, including the substantial sign-on bonus, this position is an attractive choice for those seeking stable employment in the transportation and logistics industry.
