4d•$1,700 - $3,000•Onsite

About The Position

Food and food service delivery drivers support the country’s food supply chain by delivering customers’ products on time and in good condition while building relationships with customers. The driver operates a tractor-trailer or straight truck on local, over-the-road, shuttle, overnight, and drive-and-drop routes, both intrastate and interstate. The role includes delivering and unloading food and food-related products safely and in compliance with Department of Transportation regulations. This position has a four-day work week, with routes scheduled on a rotating basis from Sunday through Saturday. Dispatch times range from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.; end times vary by route assignment. Depending on business needs and route structure, drivers may work with a partner or independently. Nearly half of the fleet has lift gates to help make deliveries more efficient and reduce the physical demands of unloading. Average weekly earnings after training are $1,700–$1,800, with potential to earn more than $3,000 per week. A $7,500 sign-on bonus is offered subject to terms; people who have worked for a Performance Food Group-owned company within the prior six months are ineligible for this incentive. The company also advertises competitive pay and benefits, growth opportunities, and a safe and inclusive working environment.
