@@rcwaynecounty7370 Good luck man. US foods just hired a gang of people. I don’t think all of them will make it. 12k sign on bonus. So look out for those job postings if that don’t happen to work out
Congratulations bro!! Welcome to the food service delivery driver ranks! It is definitely consistent work. You may not have a consistent route to start out but stick with it man and before you know it you’ll be running your own set route with consistent start times. Give your body time to adjust to the work and it’ll be second nature to after a while. Best of luck to you on your journey and thank you for checking out the content🙏🏾🫡

Worked there for two years. Hurt my back at 18 months. Never got the 5th day off. Routinely worked 6 days. Made a mountain of money. About 115k both years. But I make a little less now with no pain. That job is life consuming. US Foods is a pretty poorly run company as well. Between routing that doesn’t take suggestions to a warehouse that doesn’t see the big picture. F that job.
Which division did you work for? I don’t disagree with your thoughts on routing and the warehouse lol, there are times they make you sit back and just scratch your head. Appreciate you checking out the content
I’m with you 6 mons was enough for me literally exhausted after every shift , they make the routes look 10 hours when in reality there 12 , I’m a fuel hauler now and leaving is foods in the past
Appreciate you checking out the content my guy! 🫡🙏🏾…patience truly is a virtue in food service. You’ll either exercise it, learn it, or walk away from the job.
Well, saying its too physical is not the right word. Just started with GFS and I realized thst some of the things we do are necessary. I can definitely say that everyone is not built for food service, the long hours, the physicality of the job, and the customer's expectations can crack some people. I don't mind it because I came from a construction background so I can deal with it. The boxes won't move themselves and unfortunately sometimes you have to move down stairs and tight spaces. I have all the respect for the drivers out there, be healthy and stay safe!
You’re absolutely right, too physical isn’t the term but it is definitely the mindset that so many drivers have. The complaint is that it’s too much digging, cases are too heavy, too much ramp running but like you said the boxes won’t move themselves. We just need a mindset shift. Appreciate you checking out the channel 🙏🏾🫡…stay safe and stay blessed bro
@@TayTheLocalTrucker No problem, appreciate your content. You and Anthony helped me knowing what's to be expected. Keep it up, I'll continue checking for you! Stay strong and safe bro!
Thank you for checking out the content, I really appreciate it 🙏🏾🫡. Best of luck to you on your interview and your journey with Sysco, I know you’ll go murder it! Stay safe as well bro
100%…the consistent money is why the ones who do stay actually stay, but it’s the physicality that makes people say “this ain’t enough money for all that work”. You’re right most trucking companies you don’t have to do much physical labor and you’re not making that good consistent money.
Love the content! I start with McLane in two weeks. Truck Driver Trainee. I'll be on the retail side. Mainly gas stations, Walgreens, Walmart's, etc. No CDL yet, but they're teaching me the ways. I won't lie, I'm pretty nervous about maneuvering the 53 foot trailers in tight spots. Any advice for a rookie?
Appreciate you tuning in my guy. I think that’s awesome you’re getting on with McLane. I’ve seen them guys on the retail side quite often out here. It’s normal to be nervous, that’s a healthy level of fear. The best advice I think I can give you is be methodical, get out and look as many times as you need until you know you will clear whatever it is you are trying to clear or get around. Give yourself some grace. You’ll tweak and perfect how you do things and figure out what movements and hand speed works for you the more you drive. Last thing is to stay in the seat! Many new guys prefer to let the vet drive which only takes away from your ability to get better. Keep driving champ! Good luck to you
Wish I didn't have a partial tear in my rotator cuff, or I'd be interested in food service. I'm not scared of the hard work. Just scared it may make me go under the knife on my shoulder. Much respect to food service
Only the right side from the cooler to the dry. Stop 3 freezer pallet was still on the right hand side but after that, the entire right side is clear. That’s typically how it is on that day
@@TayTheLocalTrucker Wow that is perfect for organizing the rest of your day/route! I’m at Sysco, so our trailers are set up a little different. But seeing videos like this still really helps me feel better about digging. Just part of the job.
@Mrfame22 Yeah bro it really is just a part of the job. The digging is unnecessary for sure but it’s just how it goes. It’s great that you’ve accepted it because it makes the mental aspect of the job much easier to deal with. Thanks for checking out the content bro…stay tuned for more🙏🏾🫡
Where all the heavy stuff at? I had 14 stop 750+ Nashville! Show when things falling out the back of the trailer and you got to down stack on the ramp.
I’ve had loads like that and I promise you my guy when I get another only like that, I’ll show it too. I’m going to assume you were on a pup trailer with a load like that?
I understand that, it’s truly not for everybody but I believe anyone can do it if they really want to and if they allow their bodies time to adjust and get acclimated to it. Give it a try!
All is good when the weather is nice , but when you get that driving rain and snow and cold it really challenges your capacity for staying strong . Just keep putting one foot in from of the other " like my mom always said " I salute all food service drivers . In a world where so many people sit at a desk and enjoy good working hours .

@@TayTheLocalTrucker you can make the same amount hauling fuel without the hassle of delivering to restaurants and dealing with chefs. You could also make the same amount hauling containers. Most food service micromanage drivers and work you long hours and when you get home you are sore and only available to go to sleep.
I’ve been hearing and reading the same thing you just outlined here. Need to get my endorsements and expand my options. Definitely something to consider when I decide to step away from food service.
