The CDL-A Driver role at Performance Foodservice is a critical position within the company’s operations and plays a vital part in America’s food supply chain. In this role, drivers are responsible for the safe and timely transportation of food and food-related products across intrastate and interstate routes, including local, shuttle, overnight, and over-the-road (OTR) operations. The position involves driving a tractor-trailer or straight truck and requires adherence to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and company policies. Drivers are not only tasked with delivering products but also serve as the company’s frontline representatives, fostering strong, positive relationships with customers through professional communication and reliable service. The CDL-A Driver’s responsibilities extend beyond driving to include performing all necessary safety inspections, ensuring freight is carefully loaded and secured, completing accurate paperwork, and maintaining a clean and organized work environment. This role offers growth opportunities and plays a key part in supporting the national food distribution infrastructure. Drivers benefit from a stable Monday to Friday schedule with dispatch times between 2 am and 6 am, contributing to a predictable work routine. This position is ideal for candidates who are committed to safety, customer service, and operational excellence in a dynamic and supportive environment. As part of the Performance Foodservice team, CDL-A Drivers help deliver more than just food — they deliver reliability, trust, and exceptional service to the customers they serve.
