CDL-A Delivery Driver (Customer-Focused) – Columbus, OH

Location: 1111 Rarig Ave, Columbus, OH

More Than a Driving Job — Build Relationships While Delivering Exceptional Service

If you're looking for a CDL driving position where people are just as important as the miles you drive , Gordon Food Service has the opportunity for you.

This isn't your typical delivery driver role. While you'll safely operate a Class A commercial vehicle, approximately 80% of this position is focused on customer service and relationship building. You'll become the familiar face our customers count on every week—delivering products, providing outstanding service, and building lasting relationships with restaurants, schools, hospitals, universities, and other foodservice partners.

If you enjoy interacting with people, take pride in delivering excellent service, and want to be home every night, we'd love to meet you.
