Job Description

Sysco St. Louis, LLC, part of the global leader in foodservice distribution, is seeking dependable local CDL A Delivery Truck Drivers to join their team. Sysco operates approximately 333 distribution facilities worldwide and serves more than 700,000 customer locations, employing over 71,000 colleagues. With a fleet of over 13,000 vehicles, the company is dedicated to delivering high-quality food products and supplies to a diverse customer base including restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, hotels, and other food service locations. Sysco is known for its commitment to growth, both for the company as well as for its employees, emphasizing personal and professional development, excellent customer service, and operational excellence.

This role is based in the 63301 zip code area with no sales territory, requiring zero percent travel. The compensation range for this position is $26.99 to $33.49 per hour, dependent on factors such as skills, experience, work location, and other individualized considerations. Sysco offers a performance-based incentive program that rewards productivity and dedication.

The primary responsibility of the CDL A Delivery Truck Driver is to operate tractor-trailer vehicles safely and efficiently while manually unloading and delivering various products such as meats, produce, frozen foods, groceries, dry goods, and supplies directly to customer locations following an assigned route and schedule. Drivers develop and maintain strong, positive relationships with customers through a friendly demeanor and by understanding their operational needs to provide exceptional service and meet expectations consistently.

This position demands physical strength, as it requires handling freight that may weigh between 40 to 60 pounds on average, with the ability to lift up to 100 pounds repeatedly. Flexibility is key, as overtime, weekends, and holiday work may be necessary based on business needs. The role requires candidates who possess a valid Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL) and meet the company’s insurability standards. Drivers must be proficient in English to communicate effectively with customers, understand traffic signs and signals, respond to inquiries, and complete necessary documentation accurately.

Sysco values experience related to customer delivery, handling equipment such as hand carts or hand trucks, and the food and beverage industry, along with a consistent work history. The company fosters career growth through promoting internally and provides extensive training programs aimed at enhancing job skills and leadership capabilities.

Alongside competitive pay and robust incentive plans, employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including paid vacation and holidays, health and retirement benefits, employee discounts, service recognition, referral programs, safety programs, tuition reimbursement, and uniforms. Sysco’s dynamic work environment is designed to support and reward its employees while making a significant impact on the foodservice industry globally. Joining Sysco means becoming part of an organization that values dedication, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence in service delivery, providing opportunities that go beyond just a job to build a sustainable and rewarding career.
