Job Description

Performance Food Group (PFG) is a leading broadline foodservice distributor that plays a pivotal role in America's food supply chain. Known for its comprehensive distribution network, the company services a diversified customer base including independent restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, schools, and quick-service eateries. The organization takes pride not only in delivering top-quality food products but also in fostering strong collaborative partnerships through a dedicated team of sales representatives, chefs, consultants, and operational experts. This team guides customers on improving overall operations, menu innovation, product selection, and strategic development, making PFG an essential partner in their success and growth.

At Performance Food Group, there is a dedicated focus on developing a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace environment. The company promotes a culture grounded in rewards, recognition, and respect, ensuring that employees are valued and supported in their career journeys. Offering competitive compensation and an extensive benefits package from day one, including health and wellness benefits, employee stock purchase plans, 401K employer matching, education assistance, and paid time off, PFG supports its employees in both their personal and professional growth. The company’s operational excellence is underpinned by safety and compliance, emphasizing adherence to Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines, which is crucial for all roles involving transportation and logistics.

The Shuttle Driver position offers a unique and vital opportunity within PFG’s operations team. This role involves key responsibilities related to the movement of trailers and freight, essential for efficient food distribution across the network. Shuttle Drivers are entrusted with the safe handling and transportation of both empty and fully loaded trailers to and from various warehouse and shuttle yard locations. The job requires driving tandem trailers, tractor-trailers, or straight trucks over intrastate and interstate routes, strictly adhering to DOT regulations and company safety standards.

Performance Food Group values candidates who bring a commitment to safety, professionalism, and teamwork. As a Shuttle Driver, individuals will engage in pre- and post-trip safety inspections, ensuring that both vehicles and freight are secure and compliant with safety standards. Drivers will also perform critical operational duties such as securement of freight, documentation management, vehicle parking, and the handling of damaged goods or customer returns. In addition, thorough record-keeping aligned with federal and state requirements is an essential part of the role.

The position is scheduled for the night shift, from Sunday through Thursday, with an expectation for variability in start times. Compensation begins at $300 per night, reflecting the importance and skill required for this role. Work in this role also includes the physical handling of freight, necessitating the ability to lift and maneuver products weighing approximately 60 to 90 pounds using equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates.

This is more than a driving job; it is an opportunity to contribute directly to the success of a prominent foodservice distributor that supports countless foodservice providers across the country. Joining PFG as a Shuttle Driver means becoming part of a mission that ensures America’s food reaches its destination safely and on time, while also benefiting from a rewarding work environment and robust employee benefits. The company also proudly upholds an equal employment opportunity policy, fostering diversity and inclusion across all aspects of employment. This role is suited for committed, safety-conscious professionals ready to grow in a dynamic and supportive environment.
