Job Description

Core-Mark, a Performance Food Group Company, is a leading Fortune 150 company specializing in fresh and broad-line distribution solutions tailored to the convenience retail industry across the United States and Canada. With over $23 billion in revenue, Core-Mark has established itself as an industry leader by providing customers with a comprehensive range of products, programs, and services that meet their dynamic needs. The company boasts a strong reputation for empowering its customers, employees, and communities, underpinned by its commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and excellence. As part of this esteemed organization, employees benefit from a culture that values respect, recognition, and rewards, fostering a safe and inclusive work environment conducive to career growth and fulfillment.

The Delivery Driver role at Core-Mark is a crucial position within the company’s operations, serving as the vital link in America’s food supply chain. This role requires dedicated professionals who deliver food and food service products efficiently and safely, ensuring that orders arrive on time and in excellent condition. Delivery Drivers represent Core-Mark at the customer level—building lasting relationships, maintaining high service standards, and acting as ambassadors of the company’s values and commitment to quality. The position features competitive compensation, starting with a training wage of $23.50 per hour and offers the opportunity to earn approximately $75,000 in the first year. Employees enjoy working a Tuesday through Saturday schedule with daily return home, and dispatch times between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.

This role demands operation of tractor-trailers or straight trucks across intrastate and interstate routes, including local deliveries, over-the-road (OTR), shuttle, and drive and drop activities. Drivers must adhere strictly to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, pass safety audits, and execute thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, ensuring compliance and safety at all times. Responsibilities also include professional interaction with customers, vendors, and team members; accurate verification and documentation of deliveries; and skillful loading and unloading of freight using appropriate equipment such as hand trucks and lift gates. The ability to perform physical tasks—lifting items ranging between 10 and 90 pounds—is required to efficiently complete delivery assignments.

Core-Mark values safety, professionalism, and teamwork, expecting drivers to maintain company equipment, uphold cleanliness standards, and complete all required paperwork with meticulous attention to detail. Continuous training and development opportunities are embedded in the role, supporting employee growth within a rewarding, stable career path. The company fosters an environment of respect and recognition, with inclusive policies ensuring equal employment opportunity across diverse candidate backgrounds. Additional benefits include day-one health and wellness coverage, an employee stock purchase plan, 401K employer matching, education assistance, paid time off, and much more, making this role an excellent opportunity for dedicated individuals seeking a long-term position in the logistics and food distribution sector.
