Job Description

Performance Foodservice, a broadline distributor under Performance Food Group (PFG), is a pivotal player in the food distribution industry renowned for its commitment to serving a diverse range of customers, including independent restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, schools, and quick-service eateries. The company boasts a specialized team comprising sales representatives, chefs, consultants, and other experts who work collaboratively to build strong, enduring relationships with their customers. This team not only delivers high-quality food products but also offers invaluable advice on improving operations, menu development, product selection, and operational strategies. Performance Foodservice stands out in the market by going beyond the mere delivery of food; it strives to empower independent restaurant owners to realize their culinary and business dreams by providing tailored support and exceptional service.

This particular opportunity is for the role of a CDL-B Driver, a critical position within the company’s logistics and distribution operations. The CDL-B Driver is entrusted with the responsibility of operating a tractor trailer or straight truck on various routes including intrastate and interstate journeys, local runs, over-the-road (OTR) assignments, shuttle routes, and overnight drive and drop routes. This role is fundamental to ensuring the seamless delivery of food and food-related products to customers, maintaining the integrity and quality of products during transit. It demands adherence to strict safety and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, professionalism in customer interactions, and proficiency in handling all associated logistics tasks.

Employment for this position is on a full-time basis with a five-day workweek, involving dispatching duties primarily between midnight and 6am. The compensation starts at $210 per day or more, depending on route components, and includes a substantial sign-on bonus of $4,000. Performance Foodservice offers competitive pay and an array of benefits that include day one health and wellness benefits, an employee stock purchase plan, 401K employer matching, education assistance, paid time off, and more. The company's culture emphasizes safety, inclusiveness, rewards, recognition, and respect, making it an encouraging environment for career growth and advancement.

The CDL-B Driver serves not only as a logistics operator but also as the face of Performance Foodservice to its clients. This role involves comprehensive tasks such as performing thorough pre and post-trip safety inspections, ensuring compliance with DOT laws, managing delivery paperwork, securing freight, and effectively communicating with customers, vendors, and team members. Drivers are expected to perform damage control checks, manage customer returns, handle various payment collections where required, and uphold the cleanliness and security of their equipment and trailers. The role demands physical capability to handle products ranging from 10 to 90 pounds using equipment such as hand-lifts, two-wheelers, and lift gates. It is a dynamic role that requires a responsible, safety-minded professional committed to excellence in service and delivery.

Overall, Performance Foodservice is looking for dedicated CDL-B Drivers to join their team and contribute to their mission of supporting America’s food supply chain with reliable, safe, and customer-focused delivery services. This opportunity offers a stable work environment with excellent benefits and substantial potential for professional growth within the food distribution sector.
