The position of Driver, Formula CDL-A, is integral to Performance Foodservice’s operations. These drivers play a vital role in the national food supply chain, ensuring that food and food service products reach customers reliably, safely, and efficiently. As frontline representatives, drivers are not only responsible for transporting goods but also for creating and maintaining positive, professional relationships with customers through courteous interaction and dependable service. Drivers operate tractor trailers or straight trucks across intrastate and interstate routes, including local deliveries, over-the-road, shuttles, and overnight runs. The work schedule averages 10 to 12 hours per shift, typically over 4 to 5 days each week, excluding Sundays, with shifts starting between midnight and 5 AM depending on the assigned route.

In this role, drivers are expected to adhere strictly to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and company safety policies, reflecting the company’s commitment to protective workplace practices. Responsibilities include conducting thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections, ensuring the safe loading and unloading of freight, verifying accurate delivery documentation, and managing customer payments where necessary. Drivers must be prepared to handle freight with varying weights, often using equipment like two-wheelers and lift gates to move cases that can range from 10 pounds to upwards of 90 pounds depending on the location. The role demands a strong safety mindset, operational reliability, and excellent communication skills to coordinate effectively with customers, vendors, and internal teams. Drivers also contribute to maintaining cleanliness and orderliness of their vehicles and assigned work areas.

Performance Foodservice emphasizes a culture that rewards safety, teamwork, responsibility, and professionalism. The company values diversity and adheres to equal employment opportunity policies, ensuring a workplace inclusive for all employees regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
