Core-Mark is a leading distributor focused on providing fresh and broadline solutions to the convenience retail industry across North America. Recognized for its commitment to empowering customers, employees, and the communities it serves, Core-Mark has established itself as the largest and most comprehensive marketer of consumer goods throughout the United States and Canada.

Core-Mark values safety, inclusion, and respect in its workplace culture, promoting a supportive environment where employees are rewarded and recognized for their contributions.

The role offered by Core-Mark centers on joining their dedicated team as a commercial truck driver, essential to supporting America’s food distribution system. This position involves performing critical safety checks, adhering to Department of Transportation regulations, and delivering products along predefined routes. The job offers competitive compensation starting at $25 per hour during training, with a unique pay structure post-training that compensates per stop, load, and mile. Most first-year drivers earn up to $85,000 annually. The schedule is primarily Monday through Friday, beginning at 2:00 AM, with shifts typically lasting 10 to 12 hours. Drivers have the opportunity for professional growth and comprehensive benefits, including health and wellness coverage from day one, a 401K employer match, employee stock purchase plans, paid time off, and educational assistance.

As a commercial truck driver at Core-Mark, you are entrusted with conducting thorough tractor and trailer inspections before and after trips, maintaining vehicle safety and compliance with DOT standards, and reporting any safety issues promptly to ensure a secure working environment.
