Job Description

Sysco Central Florida, Inc. is a prominent subsidiary of Sysco Corporation, the global leader in foodservice distribution. Sysco operates across approximately 333 distribution facilities worldwide, supporting over 700,000 customer locations with a fleet of more than 13,000 vehicles.

The company prides itself on fostering a culture of growth, professionalism, and customer satisfaction, making it an attractive employer for individuals seeking a dynamic and rewarding career in logistics and delivery services.

Sysco Central Florida offers a dependable and rewarding position for Class C Special Delivery Truck Drivers.

The position emphasizes safety, customer interaction, and operational efficiency, making it ideal for individuals who take pride in their driving skills and their role in the foodservice supply chain.

Flexibility and reliability are key, as drivers must adhere to delivery schedules and manage the physical demands of the job. These demands include manually unloading and delivering various products, some of which can weigh up to 100 pounds. Drivers must maintain the ability to effectively communicate in English to interact with customers, understand traffic signals, and complete required reports and records accurately.

The employment type is full-time with a competitive pay structure that reflects the candidate's skills, work experience, and location. Sysco Central Florida also offers an attractive benefits package, including comprehensive healthcare coverage, paid vacation and holidays, retirement benefits, employee discount programs, ongoing training, and uniform provisions. These benefits, combined with regular daily routes and opportunities for career growth, make this position a viable career path for motivated individuals seeking stability and advancement in the transportation and logistics sector.
