Much love Brother, amazing inspiration and motivation. 5 years in with P.F.G, my annual gross is $120k a year out of Georgia. I work our chain accounts at nights, key drops and lockboxes. Average 1000 to 1300 cases a night solo. As long as your mental motivation is grounded, the physical part is easy. I was able to become a home owner from the income I make in Food Service. Make money not excuses!!!
@@matthewhall9189 that’s crazy I just had a interview up there today with Dave Ramsey but he told me he would put me at the Atlanta location because it’s closer to my house so out of training you think I can make decent money what’s the off and home time like any advice starting out I’m coming from off the road I haven’t done physical labor in a while
Man your video’s really help put things into perspective when I was debating on a food service career. I studied video on all the food carriers and took tips from everyone on stacking, scanning and mental preparation. I start with US Foods out of North Little Rock Arkansas on the 5th. Thanks to you for all of the insight.
You’re videos are so helpful & positive. I can’t decide which local company do go with once I’m done with CDL school. Applying to Sysco & McLane because they have tuition reimbursement.
Good video king I’m In my second day training at Michigan GFS. I agree your videos definitely gave me an advantage mentally hopefully after 3 weeks I can get my skills up💪🏾 keep it up💯
I always appreciate your content, brother. By the way, I'm with Saia LTL freight, and we use Zebra handheld devices, too. It's good to know. If I ever switch over, I'll be a pro with the handhelds as well.
Blessings to you bruh keep doing your thing. All that manual labor is for the birds but I guess I’m just spoiled being a fuel hauler. One thing I will say bout y’all’s trucks PFG Sysco Gordon US foods they be turnt. Every night I get one of y’all blowing past me like I’m standing still and I’m going 70 mph.
I wish someone had given me advice on getting all endorsement 25 years ago. Was looking for a change, and I liked the idea to go to Estes, LTL. Can't because I don't have tankers endorsement. Just limited myself and didn't see it 25 years ago. Love your videos. Keep on trucking.
@Glock I liked only Estes on some RUclips videos. The line hauling. Drop and hooks and other reasons. Was looking at food service also. I drive for walgreens for 18 years. Getting old. It's just something different. May stay where I'm at don't know. Happy Holidays. 😊
@@gooberuso ok I can definitely feel that. I do P&D for R+L Carriers. I use to really enjoy it but not so much as of late. The terminal manager and dispatcher/AGM aren’t the best people to work with as of late. I’m just gonna stick it out until i find something better I guess.
Been trying to work here for a min now. I got an offer from gfs but I didn’t have my CDL jus yet was still in school so they pulled my application and I reapplied and still haven’t heard nun so now I’m workin for Werner🙃 at least until they start hiring again.
I’m a New CDL Holder . Got hired with PFG Boston but will be working out a Drop Yard in Springfield,MA have my Orientation Monday. Your videos definitely made me understand Food Service better and to mentally prepare for the Job. Many Blessings Brother 💯!!!
@@Xxcris949Xx I had two interviews, one with HR, the other with Transportation Manager and one Road Test with the Supervisor/Manager. In the interview they just explain the job, the benefits, potential salary, your experience as a CDL Holder, any restrictions, and they also ask if you feel able to perform the job. Which PFG are you trying to apply too?
Atmosphere is a huge deal where you work. Makes it kinda not feel like work as much. I've actually met a couple of GFS people (non drivers). They really liked how they were treated.
At ben e keith here in fort worth texas for almost a year turned 21 in August and got into our cdl program and almost done im already driving but I have all the experience already from being here almost a year working night routes averaging 1,600 to 2,000 a day and should be the youngest night driver here 💪🏽
I use to do the same thing with my hand truck lol Bought some foam and duct tape from Home Depot and wrapped it tight at the top of my hand truck for comfort and better grip. Way better👌🏾
Hey brother been watching your videos lately an must say you give great tips for us new drivers, I’m a new graduate from BISHOP STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE in Mobile Alabama an I also have my Tanker, Hazmat and TWIC card. Before I got my CLASS A CDL I was a FedEx delivery driver for a year an a half so I wanted to continue doing that similar to what you’re doing but with food, can you help???
I’m trying to get on with a company to drive local like a GFS or any other food company here in mobile alabama or closer, do you have any plugs in those jobs that can help me get on without having to do 6months to a year OTR?
@@juemusick_90 We’re fully staffed at the moment. I don’t have any connections in Mobile. If we get any openings I’ll let you know. I can always filter my comments and find what I’m looking for. I would still encourage you to apply to companies hiring new cdl holders. Beverage companies like Pepsi & Coke can be a good starter company. Remember to think about the big picture and that’s getting driving experience.
I’m a big fan Anthony I got hired as a van driver for gordan foods for now while going to school for my CDL A I start my job January 5th get my foot in the door early so I can learn the job that way when I get my CDL A I just have to learn how to drive
So I’m currently in cdl school taking weekend classes to still provide at home and pretty set on us foods driving as I’m already in the door as a warehouse worker. Biggest thing I notice gfs does that we don’t is zone stacking. Does a messed up stacked pallet change your route that much??
Almost two months here with McLane, I got hit bit that weather this week, in the southeast, and my little ol raincoat didnt cut it, my shirt was literally the only article of clothing that wasn't soaked through... I had a froggtogg poncho when I was with the beverage company but it got tore up after a couple uses. What recommendations do you guys have for ponchos stay dry in inclement weather?
I have a heavy duty poncho that my wife purchased from Dicks Sporting Goods. It’s lightweight and it works for me. I’ve purchased rain pants & jacket in the past but I burn up in it lol. You get hot quick. I can just pull the poncho off & keep it moving.
@@imanthonytv thanks for the reply brother. Your videos helped me to make the move over to food service from beverage distribution and so far it's been a good one.
Working on getting my cdl they dont even have a gfs by me so when i get my cdl i have to see what options i have for a new driver most likely sysco tho
Hey shout out to you thank you!! You have inspired me to apply I’m working for a mega carrier now otr and I need something local with better pay! Is there any way I can use you as a reference or you gotta referral code I can put down?
GFS..from a U.S. foodservice employee. We pull up to a hospital together. My 1st stop is pre separated for me. GFS couldn't fit a tennis ball in his trailer. It literally looked like he lost a tetris game. Not 1 pallet for him. No way I'd ever deal with that silliness. And at $35 a hour & time/half after 8....& dbl time n a half the day b4 a holiday & the holiday.....
My trailer is palletized so I personally don’t have a floor loaded trailer. I also have a hospital that’s a key drop so I just pull pallets off & go! Easy peasy..
@@imanthonytv I can't tell you how many times gfs trailers were a nightmare. From us being @ mutual stops. Not throwing shade. But I'd laugh at my driver manager & tell him to deliver it. A 38' trailer with a 675 case count & they are packed so tight you need a crowbar to get em out.
@@imanthonytv cool thanks for the reply! Do you know if any of the food service companies hire fresh out of school if I were to go to an independent school?
What’s up bro how much would you say a average check is every two weeks and what does your off days look like I’m thinking about mc lane or pfg in my area I live in Georgia I’m coming from off the road
What up bro.. Just depends on your route. I’m a chain delivery driver so I’m on a 4 day work schedule with an option to work 5 days. My off days are Wed,Sat, & Sun. At GFS, chain delivery driver’s typically make more than local sales service drivers. We get paid weekly at GFS. We get component pay. So pay is determined by the total cases, total stops, total miles, & hours worked. Could be anywhere from $1,500-2k weekly gross. I can’t really speak on Mclane or PFG but they seem to do pretty well. You should be good with either one.
I work for McLane grocery division. I'm not sure how we run in Georgia, but in OH and MI we have a $3000 biweekly guarantee on a 4 day work week. We can run extra routes pretty much whenever we want. So income is anywhere from $78000 to over $100000 per year.
I’ve been at McLane for 8 years but I’ve only been a driver for 6 months. We bid soon and I think I’m gonna get bumped backed to extra board 😵💫 Thinking of jumping ship to GFS I would like a home every day position.
I’ll say this.. I’m all for getting money the easy way. Whether you’re getting it passively through investing, social media, marketing, etc. Some people would probably call it working smarter and not harder. I can also appreciate the blue collar workers getting money. There are so many ways to create wealth these days and going the traditional route and working a job for 30yrs isn’t the only option anymore so I’m not mad at the people getting the easy LEGIT money! I see a plethora of young entrepreneurs who have managed to create a substantial amount of wealth through social media and ad revenue. It’s awesome! I respect anybody getting money the legal legit way.
@@imanthonytv yes sir!! You’re definitely right about that. It is a better feeling knowing you did it the legit way. My brother you’re leaving a hell of a footprint in the earth and I respect you for that.
Bro I make food money this is my first year at Sygma I make 27/hr bro...but is an automatic restriction really that bad? I mean I did have any problems
You can definitely still get jobs with an automatic restriction so in that regard I would say “No” it’s not that bad. However, having the restriction will decrease your job opportunities because many employers don’t want to see any restrictions on your CDL for obvious reasons.
@@imanthonytv bruh these companies need to get over these restrictions bro because my school hardly even taught me manual bro I only went shifting one time
I agree 100%. Many companies are transitioning to an all automatic fleet. I know here at GFS, all of our new tractors going forward will be automatics. Several months ago I had the opportunity of interviewing Kara Gordon Warren who was recently named our President of US Distribution. During our conversation she stated the company was transitioning to automatics because it gives the company the opportunity to cast a wider net for more candidates. So CDL holder’s with restrictions will still have an opportunity to get a job with GFS. She also stated that auto’s typically have less wear and tear which equates to less dollars being spent on maintenance.
