The company prides itself on fostering an environment where employees are valued and their contributions recognized, offering a workplace that promotes growth, collaboration, and leadership. As one of the largest food distributors across the nation, US FOODS® supports a wide array of foodservice operators, ranging from independent restaurants to healthcare facilities, ensuring they receive quality products and reliable delivery services.

The role of a CDL A Delivery Truck Driver at US FOODS® is a vital position within the company's transportation team. The driver plays a central role in delivering a variety of food products, such as meats, produce, frozen goods, groceries, dry goods, as well as kitchen equipment and supplies directly to customer locations. This position requires a dedicated individual who values reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction. Drivers are entrusted with managing local delivery routes Monday through Saturday, starting the early morning hours between 12am and 6am, and ensuring that orders are delivered on time, maintaining productivity and high standards of service.

This full-time position offers a competitive hourly wage of $33.62, with opportunities for paid overtime, that truly reflects the demanding nature of the job and the professionalism expected. US FOODS® understands the importance of work-life balance and therefore emphasizes home every night with local routes, allowing drivers to maintain their personal time and responsibilities.

These benefits demonstrate US FOODS® commitment to supporting the health and well-being of its employees.

As part of the US FOODS® family, delivery drivers are welcomed into a culture that respects and rewards dedication and hard work. The company invests substantially in its workforce through paid training programs, ongoing job skills and leadership development, service recognition, and employee rewards programs. The leadership team is committed to fostering a positive working environment where every employee is encouraged to succeed and grow their career. The role demands physical endurance, as drivers must perform repeated heavy lifting of items up to 80 pounds and navigate challenging weather conditions to ensure that products reach their customers safely and timely.

In summary, the CDL A Delivery Truck Driver position at US FOODS® is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a stable and rewarding career in food distribution logistics. The company offers competitive pay, a robust benefits package, supportive leadership, and the chance to be part of a respected organization that values its employees.
