Recognized for its dedication to employee development and workplace satisfaction, US FOODS offers competitive compensation and benefits packages that respect and reward the hard work and commitment of its team members. This company prides itself on a collaborative spirit and a strong work ethic that drives its success in the highly competitive food distribution industry.

US FOODS is currently looking to hire Delivery Drivers who will play a critical role in supporting the company’s operations and customer satisfaction goals. This role involves delivering a variety of products including meats, produce, frozen goods, groceries, dry goods, equipment, and supplies to various customer locations. Delivery Drivers serve as one of the important faces of the organization, representing the company through their professionalism, reliability, and customer service excellence.

The position offers a base hourly rate between $27.02 and $31.79, depending on relevant experience, education, skills, and location. Overtime compensation is also provided as applicable.

US FOODS supports its drivers with paid training, paid overtime, service recognition, employee rewards, and excellent leadership guidance, ensuring a supportive and motivating work environment.

This opportunity is ideal for candidates who are at least 21 years old, hold a valid CDL Class A license with appropriate endorsements and DOT qualifications, and have prior commercial driving experience, preferably in the food and beverage delivery sector.

Joining US FOODS as a Delivery Driver means becoming part of a company built on the principles that employees matter, and their contributions are essential to the organization's success. Candidates will benefit from a stable work schedule, competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and the chance for career advancement within a respected industry leader devoted to supporting its workforce and customers alike.
