Job Description

US Foods is one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States, known for its commitment to providing excellent service and quality products to a wide range of customers, including restaurants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and hospitality providers. The company boasts a rich history of promoting from within, exceptional training programs, and a culture focused on continuous improvement and employee development. As a leader in the food distribution industry, US Foods offers a supportive work environment where employees are valued, and their hard work is recognized and rewarded. The organization emphasizes core values such as cultural beliefs, work ethic, collaborative spirit, and outstanding service, which are integral to its success and customer satisfaction.

The role of a US Foods Delivery Driver is pivotal to the company’s operations and reputation. Drivers are essential team members who directly impact customer satisfaction by delivering a variety of products such as meats, produce, frozen goods, groceries, dry goods, equipment, and supplies to customers' drop-off sites. These deliveries must be timely and accurate, helping to maintain the high standards expected of US Foods. This position requires individuals who take pride in providing best-in-class customer service while adhering to the safety and regulatory standards associated with commercial driving. Drivers operate local routes primarily starting early in the morning and may include weekend schedules with an average of four to five working days per week.

US Foods Delivery Drivers must be capable of performing physical tasks such as repeated heavy manual lifting (up to 80 pounds), unloading products with a hand truck, making frequent stops, and delivering products even in inclement weather conditions. A key part of the role is to verify deliveries with customers and handle transactions where required, including collecting cash or checks. The company values integrity, reliability, and the ability to build trusting relationships with customers, which are qualities that US Foods looks for in its drivers.

The compensation for this role is competitive, ranging between $31.44 and $34.93 per hour, dependent on experience, education, skills, and geographic location. Drivers also earn overtime pay as applicable. US Foods supports its employees with a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, pre-tax spending accounts, retirement savings plans, paid time off, disability coverage, an employee stock purchase plan, and life insurance. The company promotes a positive work culture with paid training and overtime, recognition programs, and strong leadership. This role is an excellent opportunity for individuals who want to join a growing team where their dedication and hard work are rewarded and where career growth is encouraged.

Working as a US Foods Delivery Driver means joining a transportation team that is committed to safety, professionalism, and excellence. Drivers are required to comply with Department of Transportation regulations, including registering with the FMCSA Clearinghouse, a secure online database that tracks CDL holders’ drug and alcohol program violations. By joining US Foods, individuals become part of a dynamic company that not only values its drivers but also provides the tools and support to succeed both personally and professionally.
