In San Diego, CA, Sysco is currently hiring local CDL-A Drivers to join their dynamic team. This position offers an exciting career path with competitive compensation and benefits that demonstrate the company’s dedication to its employees' well-being and growth.

The Local CDL-A Driver role is pivotal in ensuring that Sysco’s diverse range of products — including meats, produce, frozen foods, groceries, dry goods, and supplies — reaches customer locations efficiently and safely.

Employees benefit from a fully company-paid family medical insurance plan, an employer-funded pension plan with contributions of $8.87 per hour, and additional perks including a $20 monthly phone stipend. Drivers enjoy the advantage of being home daily, eliminating the long stretches away that often come with truck driving. The company also provides paid vacation and holidays, comprehensive healthcare benefits, and ongoing job skills and leadership development training. Sysco emphasizes career growth, promoting from within and creating clear pathways for professional advancement. New hires become eligible for benefits quickly, generally by the first day of the month following or coinciding with 31 days from their date of hire.

Working at Sysco means being part of a community that values safety, employee recognition, and continuous learning. The company supports its team members with various employee discount programs, referral incentives, safety initiatives, tuition reimbursement, and uniforms. Sysco is committed to diversity and inclusion, offering equal employment opportunities to all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or other protected characteristics.
