As part of Performance Food Group, the company operates across the United States and in more than 40 countries, providing comprehensive customized attention, centralized product line coordination, menu changes, and account management for its diverse client base. PFG Customized Distribution is deeply committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace while delivering exceptional service to its customers through its dedicated workforce. The company offers competitive compensation packages, robust benefits including day one health and wellness coverage, employee stock purchase plans, 401K employer matching, education assistance, paid time off, and numerous opportunities for career growth within the essential food supply chain industry.
This position as a CDL-A Delivery Driver plays a pivotal role within the company and the country’s food supply chain. As a driver, you will serve as the face of PFG Customized Distribution, building lasting relationships with customers by ensuring timely and safe delivery of food and food service products. The role involves operating tractor trailers or straight trucks on various routes such as intrastate, interstate, local, over-the-road (OTR), shuttle, overnight, and drive and drop routes. Drivers will be responsible for the careful handling and unloading of goods at customer locations and must adhere strictly to all Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and company safety standards.
The position comes with a guaranteed minimum weekly pay of $1,350 and an average annual salary ranging from $70,000 to $80,000. Work schedules vary with a minimum commitment of 4 days per week, and dispatch times between 7 pm and 3 am, offering a sign-on bonus of $7,500 (terms apply) for qualifying candidates. Team driving opportunities are also available, promoting collaboration and increased efficiency on the road.
In addition to delivery duties, drivers are responsible for performing all required safety inspections of their vehicles, ensuring compliance with both DOT and company safety standards. This includes pre-trip and post-trip checks, reporting any safety issues, verifying proper loading and securing of freight, and maintaining accurate paperwork for deliveries. Responsibilities also extend to customer interactions where professionalism and clear communication are essential. Drivers verify deliveries, obtain signatures, and handle payment collection if necessary.
Physical capability is important in this role as it involves hand-lifting product cases that range between 10 to 35 pounds and may occasionally weigh between 60 and 90 pounds. Drivers must be capable of utilizing equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates to manage freight effectively throughout the shift. Beyond driving and delivery tasks, drivers keep their work areas clean and orderly by performing housekeeping duties in their vehicles and loading docks.
Overall, the CDL-A Driver position at PFG Customized Distribution is ideal for individuals seeking a rewarding career in logistics with a reputable company that emphasizes safety, inclusivity, and professional growth. This role combines the thrill of driving with the responsibility of supporting a vital segment of America’s food distribution system, ensuring that customers receive their goods promptly and in excellent condition.
