The role of Driver at Performance Food Group involves the safe and efficient operation of straight trucks or vans either on intrastate or interstate local routes. Drivers play a critical part in ensuring that food and food-related products reach customers promptly and in optimal condition. The position requires handling urgent deliveries that may arise due to issues like mispicks or customer service concerns, which highlights the importance of flexibility, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to superior customer service.

Drivers are expected to adhere strictly to all Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and company policies, ensuring safety on all fronts — from vehicle inspections before and after trips to securely loading and unloading products. Responsibilities include conducting thorough safety checks on the truck or van, verifying and documenting deliveries accurately, communicating professionally with customers and co-workers, and managing paperwork associated with freight and deliveries. Drivers must also maintain cleanliness and orderliness in their vehicles and surrounding work areas, exhibiting a proactive approach to equipment care and workspace hygiene.

This position requires physical stamina as drivers must manage lifting and handling of freight weighing generally between 60 and 90 pounds while utilizing equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates to move and stack products safely.
