HOUSTON, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sysco Corporation (SYY) is proud to announce that 25 delivery partners have been named to the International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) 2026 Truck Driver Hall of Fame, one of the highest honors in foodservice distribution.
Sysco’s inductees are part of a record-breaking Hall of Fame class of 108 drivers recognized by IFDA this year. Nearly doubling Sysco's representation from last year, the recognition reflects the strength of the company’s transportation teams and its ongoing commitment to safety and operational excellence.
Hall of Fame drivers must meet rigorous standards:
- At least 25 years of continuous service with an IFDA member company.
- 25 years without a chargeable accident.
- No moving violations within the past five years.
Induction into the Hall of Fame represents a lifetime achievement and a testament to a decades-long career of safe driving, customer service and professional excellence.
“Our delivery partners are the face of our business, and we are incredibly proud of their great work, reliability and commitment to safety. They earned this well-deserved recognition from IFDA because of this dedication to our communities and customers,” said Bryce White, Vice President for U.S. Operations and Global Center of Excellence at Sysco.
Sysco delivery partners play a vital role in helping the company's customers succeed every day. Beyond safely operating specialized equipment and navigating complex delivery routes, they serve as trusted frontline representatives, building relationships with customers and helping restaurants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and other food-away-from-home operators receive the quality products and service they expect.
The 2026 Sysco inductees will be recognized on Sept. 14, 2026 at the IFDA Truck Driver Hall of Fame ceremony in San Antonio.
