This entry-level role is designed for individuals who either hold a Class A CDL or permit and are eager to build a long-term driving career in foodservice distribution. As a Driver Trainee, you will work in a team-oriented environment where innovation, safety, and exceptional customer service are highly valued.

Throughout your training, you will be introduced to DOT regulations, hours-of-service rules, and company policies, and you will use electronic logging devices and handheld scanners to document deliveries and maintain accurate records. You will coordinate with dispatch and supervisors to report route status, delays, or concerns, and you will be expected to uphold our commitment to safety in every aspect of the job, including safe lifting, situational awareness, and defensive driving principles. Performance Foodservice offers a collaborative culture where you can grow from trainee to independent route driver, with access to ongoing training and development. In addition to competitive pay, you can expect a comprehensive benefits package that typically includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, and a 401k retirement plan.
