The CDL-A Driver position with Performance Foodservice is critical to sustaining the smooth operation of food distribution across local, intrastate, and interstate routes. The role involves driving tractor trailers or straight trucks during night dispatch shifts from 10 pm to 4 am, Sunday through Thursday, to deliver and unload food and food-related products. Drivers not only ensure timely and safe deliveries but also represent the face of the company, establishing lasting relationships with customers by providing professional and courteous service.

Key responsibilities include conducting thorough safety inspections of vehicles and trailers before and after trips, reporting safety concerns or required repairs, managing accurate and legible paperwork for freight, ensuring freight is loaded, secured, and unloaded correctly, and verifying deliveries with customers, collecting payments when necessary. Drivers are expected to collaborate effectively as part of a team, supporting the company’s broader mission to reliably supply food products while maintaining operational excellence and regulatory compliance.

In addition to driving, the CDL-A Driver performs physical tasks such as hand-lifting products often weighing between 10 to 35 pounds, with some freight possibly reaching up to 60 to 90 pounds, and using equipment like two-wheelers and lift gates to move items safely. The role also includes maintaining cleanliness and orderliness in trailers, trucks, and loading dock areas, securing all equipment and paperwork at the end of shifts, and continually supporting other duties as assigned.
