The drivers will be honored during the IFDA Solutions Conference, scheduled for Sept. 13-15 in San Antonio.

To qualify, each inductee must have worked at least 25 consecutive years for an IFDA member company, gone 25 years without a chargeable accident and remained free of moving violations during the past five years.

The Hall of Fame recognizes drivers whose careers have been marked by long-term safety and service. According to IFDA, the record-sized 2026 class reflects the industry’s continued emphasis on rewarding safe driving and operational excellence.

Foodservice distribution drivers supply restaurants, schools, hospitals and other commercial kitchens, often completing multiple deliveries each day while working in congested urban areas and on tight delivery schedules.

The 108 inductees will officially join previous Hall of Fame members during the September conference.

A complete list of the 2026 inductees is available from the International Foodservice Distributors Association.
