IFDA reveals 2021 Hall of Fame class
The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) recently revealed the 71 inductees in the 2021 class of the IFDA Truck Driver Hall of Fame.
The program shines a light on the industry’s top drivers for their outstanding service and safety records. Since its inception, IFDA has worked with its member companies to promote a culture of safety.
The 2021 class is the largest in IFDA’s history.
“Given how challenging the past year has been,
More than 130,000 foodservice distribution drivers are currently on the road, but only those with the best safety records and longevity of service qualify for the IFDA Truck Driver Hall of Fame. To be eligible, the driver must have 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.
This year’s list includes 18 drivers from US Foods.
“At US Foods, we take great pride in developing a team of highly skilled and trained drivers who are committed to our ‘Get Home Safe’ mindset, a guiding belief that safe driving supports not only our drivers but also those we share the roads with every day,” said Mary Zmuda, vice president of safety for US Foods.
“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.”
