About the Role

Great drivers are crucial to the US Foods team and serve as one of the important faces of our organization. On and off the road, our drivers strive for integrity and reliability while building trusting relationships with customers. This role is designed for those who want to be part of a collaborative spirit defined by our cultural beliefs and work ethic.

As a Delivery Driver, you will safely drive trucks to customers, ensuring scheduled delivery times are met. You will carefully unload products using a two-wheeler, pallet jack, or by hand, placing them in designated storage areas. Your responsibilities include verifying delivery accuracy, obtaining proper signatures, and handling collections when applicable. You will also perform professional customer service to enhance the client experience and conduct all necessary pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections.

This position requires the ability to lift, carry, push, and pull 20 to 80+ lbs. of product repetitively. Drivers must be comfortable working in inclement weather conditions with frequent stops (10+ per shift).

The ability to operate a manual transmission is preferred, though it may be required in specific locations.

All drivers must be able to read and communicate in English, including understanding highway traffic signs and signals. A critical requirement is registering to the FMCSA Clearinghouse, a secure online database mandated by the Department of Transportation that provides real-time information regarding drug and alcohol program violations for CDL and CLP holders. Registration is required before starting; please visit the FMCSA website to complete this step.
