This company prides itself on building strong relationships with its customers through a collaborative team of sales representatives, chefs, consultants, and other industry experts. Performance Foodservice not only delivers high-quality food products but also extends valuable support in improving operational efficiency, menu development, product selection, and strategic business growth. The company's commitment to its clients embodies a mission to help independent restaurant owners and food service operators achieve their culinary and business dreams, ensuring they stay competitive and successful in their respective markets.

The CDL-B Driver position at Performance Foodservice is integral to the company's food supply chain operations. This role is responsible for driving tractor trailers or straight trucks on various routes that include intrastate, interstate, local, over-the-road (OTR), shuttle, overnight, and drive and drop assignments. The Driver’s primary focus is ensuring that food and food-related products are delivered safely, punctually, and in excellent condition to customers. Drivers also represent the face of the company to customers and vendors, playing a crucial role in fostering positive relationships and providing professional customer service. The position involves compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and requires meticulous attention to safety checks, proper handling of freight, and accurate record keeping.

This is a full-time employment opportunity offering competitive daily pay starting at $210 or more depending on route components, supplemented by a $4000 sign-on bonus.

These include health and wellness benefits, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 401K employer matching, education assistance, paid time off, and more. The company fosters a safe and inclusive work culture that emphasizes rewards, recognition, and respect for its employees.

Drivers will perform essential duties such as pre-trip and post-trip inspections of their vehicles, ensuring adherence to DOT regulations and company safety policies, loading and unloading products, verifying delivery accuracy, collecting payments when required, and performing general housekeeping tasks related to their equipment and cargo areas. This position demands physical capability to handle product cases typically weighing between 10 to 35 pounds and occasionally up to 90 pounds. Applicants will need to have a clean Motor Vehicle Report for the past three years and must pass drug tests, background checks, and road tests.

Joining Performance Foodservice means becoming part of an organization that values its employees and customers alike, providing pathways for growth and development within the foodservice distribution industry. The CDL-B Driver role is not just about transportation but is vital to supporting America’s food distribution system, ensuring that communities have reliable access to food products. This role requires professionalism, dedication to safety, and a commitment to upholding the company’s high standards of customer service and operational excellence.
