Job Description

Sysco is the global leader in foodservice distribution, operating an extensive network with over 67,000 associates and a fleet exceeding 13,000 vehicles to serve more than 600,000 customer locations worldwide. The company manages approximately 330 distribution facilities and has built a reputation centered around quality service and dependable delivery. With a commitment to innovation and community impact, Sysco continually seeks dedicated professionals who want to be part of their dynamic team and experience the Heart of Food and Service. Known for its leadership in the industry, Sysco provides opportunities for career growth and advancement in the food distribution field. The company fosters an inclusive work environment that values safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction at all levels.

The position of a CDLA Backhaul Delivery Truck Driver at Sysco is a critical role in ensuring timely and efficient transportation of food products using tractor-trailers, often hauling doubles and potentially triples between Sysco facilities and shuttle yards. This role requires not only dependable driving skills but also a commitment to building strong customer relationships through positive and friendly communication. CDLA drivers serve as ambassadors of the Sysco brand, interacting with various customers and understanding their operational needs to satisfy expectations consistently. Drivers are generally home daily, which emphasizes a work-life balance rarely found in similar roles.

CDLA Backhaul Delivery Truck Drivers at Sysco benefit from competitive pay structures that include productivity incentives, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and paid vacation and holidays. Beyond the standard benefits, drivers enjoy a generous retirement plan, employee discounts, stock purchase options with discounts on Sysco stock (SYY), and ongoing training opportunities to support career development. The company also provides uniforms and maintains a workplace that prioritizes safety and physical fitness due to the physical demands of handling freight weighing from 40 to 100 pounds. This role demands a high level of professionalism, a valid Class A Commercial Driver’s License, and compliance with company insurability standards, as well as the ability to communicate clearly in English. For motivated individuals wanting to join a company with a proven record of leadership and a passion for foodservice, this position offers a rewarding and stable career path with Sysco.
