Coming from a family of bread route owners for the past 30+ years I can tell you I’ve never met a bread route owner that has a college degree, about 80% of them don’t even have a high school degree. My Dad doesn’t and he used to make $1,800-$2,000 a week but that’s really the only positive out of all the negatives. If you tear an ACL or break a leg you might as well turn your handheld in and look for another job…. The company you own a route from will charge you for a Ryder truck rental and to pay them to work your route, which will end up being around $1,800 a week… oh yeah and to top it off not only do you not have medical or health insurance or a 401K, if you want a day off you’ll have to pay someone out of pocket to do it for you. Now ask yourself, do you know a lot of people who’d only be willing to work a couple hours for you like twice a week? The answer is hell no. That’s not even part time. No person can live off that. You’re going to be in those same grocery stores 7 days a week for the rest of your life unless you find someone else to sign their life away and buy the route. Also no retirement. Average bread route unless it’s a Pepperidge Farm route goes for $140,000-$150,000. Which is not even HALF of a regular persons 401K. Don’t do it, the cons far outweigh the pros. You’re literally buying yourself a job with no benefits or insurance, and you have to buy your own $35,000 box truck to do so. Not to mention merchandising all those bread trays everyday can be hard on your body after so many years, while an OTR truck driver has people unload their loads for them when they get to their destination. As a bread route owner when you get to your grocery store you get an earful as to why you had 3 out of stocks out of 150 different items you carry….
