Non CDL Local Delivery Truck Driver

Sysco

About The Position

The Non CDL Local Delivery Truck Driver operates daily delivery routes with frequent stops. The driver loads packages onto hand trucks and unloads products at each stop in the order designated by the Transportation Department Manager. The role follows a cross-dock model: picking up a loaded truck from a nightly delivery at the assigned loading dock and returning the empty truck to the assigned lot at the end of the route. The driver may also occasionally assist with truck loading, palletizing product, and other duties assigned by a supervisor or manager. Drivers are expected to operate routes efficiently, deliver products to customer storage areas, verify deliveries and obtain signatures, and communicate discrepancies, shortages, errors, returns, and customer complaints to the appropriate parties. They must handle company equipment properly and complete required vehicle inspections and other pre-trip and post-trip responsibilities under DOT regulations and Sysco policies. The job involves frequent physical activity, including lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, squatting, reaching, and climbing on and off the truck. Work may involve transporting product down ramps, stairs, or docks and working in varying weather conditions and confined spaces.
