- An example of food delivery. I encourage you to try it. #fooddelivery #localtrucking #usfoods #bluecollar #foodservice
@TayTheLocalTrucker has really good and inspiring videos!
If you worked at a distribution center like Walmart distribution. (Where we have to load 3600 cases a day by hand) This is the same type of work. People who say they can’t or won’t do this just don’t like being physically active. I love this type of work.
@@Demi.1133 agreed!!
takes a special person to keep up with a job like this. Not everyone can do it, that's for sure
You make some very smart sound decisions on your route bro especially with your parking. And your top reasons for staying are ones that everyone should consider when deciding if they want to do food service. Great content bro
Yes sir. You have to want more than just a paycheck. Thanks 👊🏾
The Dolly is my best friend as well🤣 I move household goods 💯💪🏻
I heard that was hard 👀
@@kickbackkris392 haha yeah , it’s definitely hard work and a lot of responsibility, but I have been moving for some years so I already had a lot of experience with that. I also hire help on the jobs 💯
This is awesome! Y’all both making US Foods videos and work out the same drop yard.
Yeah! It’s a vibe out here 😎 Thank you!
I work at mclane been driving 13 years been doing food service for the last year. And yeah food service is literally the best money Ive made.
Yes sir! Welcome to the brotherhood 😤
Kickback Kris, You're so talented! I had to hit the like button!
I'm getting ready to go to the food service industry myself. Been out over the road for a year and a half now, I'm done with that. I want to thank you for these incredibly awesome informative and helpful videos. I look forward to seeing more of them. I know it's going to be a huge help for me preparing to get into this area of trucking.
I’m glad it was helpful. Best of luck to you!
I thought I recognized you!!!!!! Representing Charlotte Division. I met you at the truck rodeo a couple years back. I ended up placing 5th in the Nation up in Tennessee
@@tylertinsley3268 what’s up bro!! 🫡 I remember you champ!! Still with USF?
@@kickbackkris392I left back in the beginning of 23 and I actually go for my road test and interview with PFG tomorrow.
@@tylertinsley3268 oh wow! Just came to take the rodeo championship trophy and now on to the next company to conquer huh 😂😂 jkjk. Why’d you leave man???
@@kickbackkris392 So I got talked into the roofing industry and the home time was insane and I sold in 10 months 1.1 million! This year everything changed and insurance isn’t paying out like they were. So I decided to start looking at driving again. My interview and road test is today so if everything goes well they will offer me the job.
@@tylertinsley3268 wow!! Congrats on that sales man!!! Welcome back to the foodservice game. If PFG doesn’t work out you know what USF is all about 💪🏾💪🏾 Best wishes on your future endeavors partner. 👊🏾
I do grocery. We unload our own trailers. But we don’t touch cases unless a pallet tips over. We use an electric jack to put the pallets in their respective coolers/freezer and head to the next stop. It’s basically food service on easy mode. Pays great and a 4 day work week at my company. Not a bad gig to look into if you ever get tired of touching all them cases.
That sounds like a good pre-retirement job! I used to do something like that for Lidl Grocery Store. It sucks because it was night shift. We loaded our trailers, head out to 2-3 stores, unload and done. My 2-3 days off were on the weekdays. I left because of the schedule. Are you working night shift? And who do you work for?
@@kickbackkris392 oh nice! I work for hyvee Out of ankeny, Iowa. We have 3 shift you can work. Everyone likes different ones but I do the early pm shift. They call me at noon and I look on a website and tell them what route I want for the day. It’s all based on seniority so as long as nobody above me took the route, it’s all mine. It’s a cool system. But usually I start my route at 2pm and I’m usually off around 1am or 2am. I love it because I can actually sleep at night time right when I go home. I used to be on the opposite schedule where I’d start at 2am and get home at like 2pm but I could never fall asleep when the sun was still out.
@@kickbackkris392 and yes the days off suck until you’ve been here for a hot minute. I’ve been here 6 years and the best I can get right now is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday as my days off lmao. The old heads who never seem retire are getting Thursday Friday Saturday off…
@@jordan2735 oh man I’d be happy with your schedule too! Especially the 2pm dispatch. I don’t know of anything like that here in North Carolina. Heck I’d be happy working 4 days a week with us foods lol. My body could use a break.
I’ll pass. 24 years in trucking and food service never appealed to me. Night work. Tight ass parking lots. Hand trucks and ramps. Fingerprinting and rotating product. Nope not me
Depending on the company it can be strictly night work. I only rotate stock for one customer in my entire week and that’s just milk. Thank you sir for keeping our country moving for 24 years!
I work for Sysco. We scan, hand truck and kick it. (Liftgate some stops are pallet drops. Yes it’s hard work but as long as you’re physically fit have a good attitude you’ll be fine.
@@nicholass281 I definitely have a good attitude 😅. Hello my fellow foodservice brethren 👋🏾
@@kickbackkris392 what’s up brotha! I be watching your vids as I’m working🤣 interesting seeing different food services! Keep up the great work!
@@nicholass281 thanks for the support! 👊🏾
I tried it and that shit wasn’t for me at allll more power to ya.
What was it about food delivery that you didn’t like?
Love the title of the video. Let’s get this mula.
I'm not ready to get off the road, but im always keeping my eyes out for options. Im currently working for a company that is 100% floor loaded touch freight (floral products up to 40lb boxes) delivering to the same couple dozen customers with many being in very tight lots not meant for a 53ft reefer with sleeper in Chicago, philly, NJ and NY, and have no problem with it. I just don't have to scan products, so that would be new to me. I run strictly nights by choice as I choose my own schedule. I deal with some of our customers but often get in and out when the business is closed. I'm definitely thinking food service could be a good option for me as it seems very similar to what I do now, just local. I enjoy doing types of trucking that most hate doing.
You’ll fit right in! Depending on who you work for it could be strictly nights. Other companies also go by seniority and with that, you can choose the route you want based off of dispatch time if that’s what’s important to you.
@kickbackkris392 Are the times at each stop strict? Allotted time at each stop fairly reasonable? Micromanaging? I currently run on my own fairly strict schedule, arriving at customers about the same time and day and ending my 7200ish mile run in 12 nights consistently outside of anything happening or if my control with out hearing from my company.
@@thehomeless_trucker the delivery window is pretty reasonable. For example customer X delivery window is 5am-11am. As long as you arrive within that time, you’re good. Early morning night drops could be 12am-6am. Your performance is judge by your delivery time and scan rate. As long as you do the job correctly, you’ll maintain the minimum % which is around 98% for the week. Missing time windows will lower your % and not scanning every product will also lower your %. Management can be strict about the %. My management team are very good at figuring out a solution. For example, every Tuesday I get to this one customer at 5:30am and a rough morning. 5am on a good morning. Their time window is 6am-9am. If I’m consistently getting there before 6am, management will rearrange the route or contact the customer and stretch that time window. I made a short video on actual delivery time vs planned delivery time. I think it’s reasonable. My computer says I’m suppose to take 50min at this stop, but I actually took 45min. It really depends on load quality, but the time isn’t far off. I’m always ahead of schedule everyday and I don’t run during delivery.
@@thehomeless_trucker if you wanted to be OTR in food service, McLane has a division where you go to 7-11. Sygma delivers to Wendy’s. Gordon Foods has a regional division too. Sysco, US Foods, and Performance Food Group have home daily routes. Chik-fil-A and Dunkin are strictly nights. Some work weekends, but my US Foods division doesn’t work weekends at all. Those are just the big name companies.
that lower back pain/soreness aint no joke
Still sore to this day! 😅
@@kickbackkris392 i believe it 🤣
Is that a pretty average day for you guys? Or do you guys generally do more stops and cases? Im just curious, I work at sygma, its been a while since Ive done less than 1k cases. I have 1100 tonight for 470 miles. Its a layover but Ill finish it by 9am.
Average days are ~800 cases, 9 stops, 9 hours. Wednesday is my longest day with 1,500 cases but I get it done under 12 hours. Make the switch if you want to be local home daily!
Damn my g seeing a guy of your caliber doing food service gives me hope lol. Dont get at me we just eat good my boy
Good food is why I can’t drop below 285 😅 but for real though, this type of work keeps me active and pushes me to lose more weight! Give it a try and it gets easier as you lose more lbs.
@@kickbackkris392 On some real shit though I know you be busting ass. Love the content fam just found you, I've been watching Imanthonytv and some other FS workers and you definitely earned a sub fam.
@@fatdarrentill487 I appreciate your support big dawg!! 👊🏾
I started as a helper for deliveries to starbucks and nah fam that job is hard and will work you !!! Doing 14-15 hr shifts for 4-5 days ... picking up those heave pallets and boxes with your dolly is a workout. And a lot of times you cant park right in front of the business so you have to walk with your dolly full of boxes ..... This job kills you graveyard aint it.
@@pabloramos420 😅 you’re right about that. But some companies got route setup for under 12 hours. Even on my rough days I don’t work any more than 12 unless there’s a breakdown.
collagen bro... buy the big jugs and take it as directed. i get mine from walmart... joints and back feel much better. i work for Performance food group
I’ll look into that. Thanks for the recommendation!
Do you feel like you have to rush while unloading ? How much time do you have left at the end of your shift ?
I don’t feel like I have to rush. My steady pace actually meets the time expectation for each stop. Our route delivery time ranges like 9-12 hours per day. So unless I was stuck in heavy traffic or I have plans to be somewhere after work, I don’t bother picking up the pace. We’re not hourly pay so it’s totally up to you if you want to run every chance you get so you can get off earlier.
Depends on the day, I can have 7 hours or 2 hours left on my 14hr clock.
What type of drug test is food required? Urine or hair follicles?
@@danieldeshommes4167 I only did the urine test.
Do you have any older guys working there? Lol. I've been otr for 10 months and would love to do food service but I'm but I'm near 60 and I'm thinking even if i think I'm in good shape for my age I'm not in food service shape...lol. Great video
Yes sir. We have guys in their 50s and 60s working here. But understand that they’ve been doing this for over 20 years. There body is accustomed to the labor involved. You’re right on target with not being in food service shape. I’ve trained guys who are gym rats and they’re in shape for the gym. They’re not in shape for food service. It’s a different workout. I’ve trained multiple guys in their 50s who eventually quit either their first day or first month. Same with 20 year olds. 😂 I still encourage you to try it if the pros outweigh the cons. Thanks for your comment!
Food service shape is a blown out back and busted knees
@@kickbackkris392 totally agree. One of our fastest drivers is 62 years old. but so is one of our slowest. People who grow to be 60 doing the job can do it. A 60 year old wanting to take it on as a new career, I would advise not to.
Look like u got a lot of dock stops easy money
Yeah that day I had 2 dock stops. Still had to break down pallets and roll it into 3-5 different areas either way.. Got to appreciate that!!!
Ok yeah that’s the killer the different spots but u made it work 💪🏾
I work in food service cause I’m in America with bills dammit 😢
Hey man this money can bring you far. Pay off your house early. Live below your means. Invest in retirements and then assets. Don’t get into more debt. Eventually you’ll make money from your assets without having to work. 💪🏾
What’s the scheduling is like
Monday-Friday early AM until done. Usually 9-12 hr days
1/6 am dispatch until like 4 to 5 pm everything touch long days 30 /80 pound boxes crash trailer everything just throwing in there 😅 about 600/1300 case to delivery or not to mention the 400 pd ramp you have to move around 😅 back breaking work look forward to knee surgery soon 😅
@@bobbyblue1865 pretty much sums it up in the most discouraging way possible 🤣.
@@kickbackkris392 keep pushing I respect your movement bro not built for everyone but you represent hard working people big respect
I'll break my back for 100,000. Its important to stretch good though just a pro rip.
I’ll stick to LTL 😅
What’s that life like?
Do they have company paid CDL?
@@StrappedUpShawty none that I’m aware of. Some divisions will hire new and inexperienced drivers.
What car is that at the end
2016 Toyota Tacoma
100k yearly
I work there on paper 100k after horrible benefits and taxes 13/1400 and turn around rate super high and management treat to fire you lol
Oh not to mention the surgery on your knee you going to need
@@bobbyblue1865lol
whaaa whaaa ..the recording is a big mf and he gettin it done. matterfact truthfully he makin it look easy if im being honest real…its prolly ninjas like you he dont associate wit cuz i wouldnt. you sound like a baby.life is hard , financial freedom is hard.what you goin do bout it? ninjas like me and this guy recording understand to win in life snd get far ahead…theres a mf price you gotta pay.💯💰
@@bobbyblue1865im tryna go to sysco myself rn, im 23 100k yearly for no more than 10 years…😂😂😂ill be financially free by the time im 34.. live below my means for 10 years and still enjoy life but save plan invest and budget 100k for ten years?!??? yell il be straight in my early 30s fasho💪🏾💰
What time are you usually done by?
Depends on the day and workload. Avg time 4 days out the week is 2pm. That one long day I’m done by 4. I work avg 9.5-11.5hrs a day.
It’s definitely not money 😂
Yeah you gotta want more than just money out of a job.
@@kickbackkris392 huh 🤔 then you want to work for free to make someone else rich 😂
to much work
Keeps me fit-ish
Fuck this job bro , it only good for a year after that fucking run . Your body will tell you
My body did in fact tell me to chill. Like I said in the video, I was hurting everyday. If it wasn’t my feet it was my knee. If it wasn’t my knee it was my back. My shoulders. My fingers. After 6 months I finally stopped hurting 😂 what really helped was stretching and mobility exercises. I’m used to this job to the point that I need to hit the gym after work
@@kickbackkris392 do food service but also tried to do something else on the side . The goal is trying to quit food service one day .
I’ll pass more money
To be made in specaialsed
Give us the deets 👀
That’s my hubby @TayTheLocalTrucker
