This role offers a unique opportunity to join the team as a US Foods driver, a position key to ensuring timely delivery and customer satisfaction. The position is full-time with shift schedules of either 5/8 or 4/10, meaning drivers are home every night and have the chance to earn daily overtime after completing 8 or 10 hours of work. Shift options are Monday to Friday or Tuesday to Saturday, with early morning start times from 3am to 6am. The expected base pay for this role is $34.04 per hour, with additional overtime compensation.

In this driver position, you will be responsible for safely operating trucks to deliver food products to customers while adhering to scheduled delivery times.

Drivers are also required to perform pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections to ensure vehicle safety and operational reliability.

Physical requirements include the ability to lift, carry, push, or pull 20 to over 80 pounds repeatedly throughout each shift.
