With an innovative supply chain and dedicated workforce, Sysco ensures that clients receive quality products promptly and efficiently. As a part of its operations, Sysco runs delivery services that serve varied market demands, emphasizing customer satisfaction, safety, and operational efficiency. Operating as an industry frontrunner, Sysco offers a dynamic work environment reflecting growth opportunities and a commitment to community well-being and sustainable practices.

The role available is for a Delivery Driver operating under a cross-dock model tasked with handling daily routes, frequent stops, and the loading and unloading of products. This is a customer-facing position where the driver operates away from the main operating company site, positioned closer to customer marketplaces to optimize delivery efficiency and service. The Delivery Driver is responsible not only for transporting goods but also for verifying deliveries, handling customer interactions professionally, performing safety checks, and assisting occasionally with loading and palletizing. This role requires diligence in route management to meet or exceed route schedule expectations and productivity standards, as well as proficiency in handling company equipment safely and adhering to Department of Transportation regulations. The compensation for this role is set at $21 per hour, reflecting the responsibility and expertise required for the position. This role provides an excellent opportunity for individuals with a commercial driving background seeking a role with direct customer engagement and operational responsibilities in logistics and delivery services.
