US Foods drivers named to hall of fame

ROSEMONT - US Foods Holding Corp. Monday said 18 of its drivers were named to the 2021 class of the International Foodservice Distributors Association Truck Driver Hall of Fame.

The IFDA Truck Driver Hall of Fame honors drivers with at least 25 years of employment with an IFDA member company with no chargeable accidents and may not have any moving violations within the last five years.

"Our drivers are the heart of the food service distribution industry, enabling our member companies to safely and efficiently deliver food and supplies to professional kitchens across the country, even during times of crisis."

Rosemont-based US Foods said most of its drivers named to the hall live on the East Coast. Two are from the Midwest: Dreux Culbertson of Indianapolis and Joseph Lynch of Plymouth, Minnesota.

"These 18 exceptional drivers have clearly demonstrated a dedication to our safety culture, and we're proud to have them on the US Foods team," said Mary Zmuda, vice president of safety for US Foods.
