Job Description

Core-Mark is a prominent foodservice and convenience retail industry distributor, operating as a part of Performance Food Group, a Fortune 150 company. With over $23 billion in revenue, Core-Mark has established itself as a trusted leader in providing fresh and comprehensive product solutions to convenience stores across the United States and Canada. The company prides itself on empowering its customers, employees, and communities, cultivating an environment that fosters stability and growth through continuous innovation and exceptional service. Core-Mark’s extensive distribution network ensures efficient delivery of thousands of product lines to meet the diverse needs of its customers. The organization is dedicated to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and motivating workplace that values recognition, respect, and employee well-being, making it an ideal place for personal and professional development. The company supports career advancement by promoting internally where possible and offering ongoing training opportunities designed to enhance the skills and growth prospects of every associate. The strong culture at Core-Mark emphasizes teamwork, integrity, and excellence in every aspect of its operations.

The Delivery Driver role at Core-Mark is a critical position within the company's food supply chain operations. This role requires professional individuals who act as the backbone of the food distribution system by ensuring timely, safe, and accurate delivery of food and related products to customers across local routes. The driver begins their shift at 6am from their assigned HUB and typically manages routes Monday through Friday, allowing them to return home daily. The annual salary for this position is competitively set at $85,000, with additional incentives such as a $10,000 sign-on bonus and a monthly performance bonus of up to $500. This role is ideal for individuals who value stability, growth, and making an essential contribution to the community’s food availability.

Delivery Drivers are responsible for handling and transporting between 10,000 to 12,000 pounds of freight per day, using equipment such as hand trucks and dollies to efficiently offload products safely. Freight consists of items packed in plastic totes or boxes, which the driver must deliver intact and on schedule to various customer locations. Responsibilities include comprehensive pre- and post-trip inspections of the tractor and trailer to ensure compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) standards and company safety policies. The drivers maintain excellent customer relations by acting as the company’s representatives during deliveries and promptly addressing questions or concerns. Other key duties involve verifying invoices, picking up empty totes, securing loads, completing all required paperwork accurately, and adhering strictly to DOT regulations. Drivers also uphold cleanliness and operational standards at all loading docks and trailers and report any safety or equipment issues immediately. Safety and professionalism are paramount, making this role essential for maintaining the high service standards Core-Mark is known for.

Beyond the operational responsibilities, Core-Mark fosters an encouraging and rewarding environment for its delivery drivers. In addition to the competitive pay and bonuses, employees receive immediate health and wellness benefits from day one, access to a 401K employer match program, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, education assistance, and paid time off. Core-Mark is committed to equal employment opportunities and embraces diversity and inclusion in its workforce. The company ensures compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations. This commitment, combined with Core-Mark’s proven leadership in the food distribution industry, presents an outstanding opportunity for dedicated individuals to build a rewarding career while contributing meaningfully to the sustenance and convenience of communities across North America.
