Ben E. Keith Company places a high priority on driver safety, utilizing AI-powered dash cameras to monitor safe driving practices, record safety incidents, and support accident investigations to ensure accountability and protection for drivers.

This position requires a Texas Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), the ability to operate single-axle trucks with 27-foot trailers, and a commitment to upholding the company's customer service excellence and safety standards. The role is ideal for motivated, detail-oriented individuals who thrive in dynamic environments and take pride in delivering quality service.

In summary, the Delivery Driver DOT position at Ben E. Keith Company offers an opportunity to be part of a respected, family-oriented organization with strong values, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and comprehensive employee benefits. Candidates will contribute to the ongoing success and growth of a leading distributor while enjoying robust support and career development opportunities.
