- In today’s video I’m sharing the truth about the money you can make as a new cdl class A truck driver. You don’t have to go OTR to make this type of money! You don’t need any college degrees! Food service driver’s across the country are making good money with ZERO experience! Check out today’s video to hear my thoughts about this topic. Remember to LIKE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBE!!! Thanks for watching!!! #trucking #delivery #truckdriver #foodservice #cdl
I started my Truckin career 12 years ago with Gordon food service. I was working out of Aberdeen when it was just a domicile yard. These were the wild West days of GFS when we were still doing paper logs lol. When those zebra handhelds started, and we could log with those, that change the game. My accuracy went up, my cases per hour, went up, all of that. my truck averaged 1600 to 1800 cases per load and it wore me out lol. I did it for almost 5 years before my body started feeling the effects of it. I will say this, it is a young man’s game. You’re dead on about being a new driver, and making great money; it changed my life when I started with them. But, if you’re starting in your 30s, or dare I say 40s, you really have to take care of your body.
One more perk with GFS when you have an overnight route, is finding a good hotel, and racking up the loyalty points on the company dime. Because when you go on that much deserved vacation, you can treat your family to a nice room anywhere in the country that’s within that hotel net work for free. I was still using Hyatt points two years after I left.
While I’m not in the restaurant food service industry anymore, I’m glad I started my Truckin career in it. it made me a better driver, because I had to drive in precarious situation‘s often. But I made good money, I was in great shape, I had fun because I was always in competition with my coworkers, and it gave me a great base to begin my trucking career
Good luck to all those who see this video and give it a shot. Take it from me, you could do a lot worse than this. This is a great start.
Your spot on with this comment in all aspects. I’m a regional driver so I have 2 hotel layovers a week. I’ve accumulated so many rewards points where I never pay for hotel stays during my personal travel time. I love that perk!
I'm getting my cdls out of tacoma WA , an I've seen Aberdeen it's bare out there
I didn’t know food service involves travel tho. Thought it’s local?
@realistically9091 No, food service consists of more than just local routes. Most food service companies have layover (2day) routes where the driver(s) are out a minimum of 2 days a week.
@@imanthonytv oh that makes sense, will they pay for hotel? What company are you working for id like to apply for the company you work for one day. I’m currently trying to get 1 year or so of beverage before I go for food so I can build the stamina and strength to handle food
Thankyou for your hard work everyday! You make a positive difference in bringing food to people in need!
Thank you!
The person that said 2k a week ain’t good money prolly making like $600 a week lol
Bruh the average person won’t ever make more than 100k in their life, (2k a week) . Don’t worry the immagrants crossing the borders would gladly take their jobs in a heart beat.
I got 3 months experience at CR england and went to J.B. hunt on my 99 cent account delivering food and I'll make 85-95k my first year so not bad

Been watching your videos and it’s been inspiring me to get my CDL. I’m in my late 40’s but I’m in good shape and am extremely athletic. I enjoy hard work. If I decide to go to trucking school and get my CDL, I’m definitely going into food service! It’s the perfect fit for me.

That comment must have took you all night to write
$2000 a week would pay my bills off faster, but the company I signed on with that's paying for my CDL school said I'll be making $70,000 my first year. I'm stoked. GFS was on my list too, figured if I survived 4 years in the armored trucking space, I can survive food service. Thank you for all that y'all do!
Nice!
Which food service company paid u for CDL?
It’s not about the money, learn to drive because money isn’t worth your life and truck driving is dangerous
@@SycaShow so much fear pron.
What company?
I’m working for US foods and you’re absolutely correct. Home daily , bringing home $1300-$1500 after taxes every Friday. In the Fredericksburg Virginia area. If you’re fit/athletic and know how to organize heavy boxes quickly , navigate a hand truck swiftly then this is definitely the move if you just got your CDL.

Agree food service is back breaking physical indeed. Probably better off looking for a cryogenics companies to work for , drivers make 100k plus and no touch freight or heavy lifting, the heaviest thing you might lift is a 5lb mallet work tool, when hauling air products , nitrogen, etc. Look for companies like Praxair, Linde, etc

I started at Gordon on this past Monday and went on my first 2 day route Wed night and got back this morning. I’m a little sore and I definitely got a nice work out while working. I’m ready to keep learning and I can’t wait to get used to everything. The mind definitely wants me to stop but I’m going to keep going until my body is adjusted to everything.

Are those 2-day routes with a day cab or sleeper?
@elyl78 we run day cabs and stay in a hotel during layover on the 2 day routes.
I work for sysco pretty much straight from cdl school. Started a month ago. It's a pretty tough job. One thing you didn't mention is that you are home every day.
True👌🏾
is the bread worth it?
With 0 experience if u wanna work hard but be home daily with no 2 day routes UsFoods for the win going on 3 years
Anyone who says 2k a week isn’t good gotta be either slow or just a hater. That’s phenomenal to make that much a week. I make that from trucking local which is rare unless you deliver food & trust & believe my family is living comfortably. I tip my hat to you bro delivering food is HARD work!!!
I do NOT miss this kind of work, was ok in my 20s but now in my 30s with my experience I make more by just driving, it’s a good job to build driving experience tho
Hey there J! Do you mind pointing me in the right direction to earn the most driving? Thanks my friend!

$2000 power week is 104k per year... That person was on bs.
Got hired hauling crude regional work with zero driving expierence
I personally think it's not a bad gig especially when you're paying for your CDL schooling and it's only 10 grand you'll make that money back your first year working in food service compared to other professions where you go several years for schooling and not make that when u graduate
You’ll make that back in the first 2-3 months lol

Im a cna now making trash. 17 to 20 dollars a hour. Cleaning ass working with dementia patients of schizophrenia. Having nine to 12 patients a day. Walking Non-Stop. Cleaning ass urine. Dealing with crazy female coworkers with attitudes. Been in the medical profession for a 20 years. And get paid less for doing more work. Honestly this world does not care about sickly people. Old people or the mentally ill. We act like it but we don't. But then when somebody Falls or gets hurt by another person in the medical profession they want to come down on you hard. But don't want to pay the person that's taking care of your grandmother grandfather mom or dad. Can someone tell me a CNA work harder than Trucking work or is it just different? Because I have two months to go in my trucking school. I've been looking at dots Foods PFG CRST and Trans Am A Snyder

Welcome to the channel buddy. 👌🏾
You can make that too in good union food service warehouses (not driving) Got guys in the warehouse working 6-8 hrs a week in OT and taking home 1300/1400 + a week. We also have a high pay rate too. You can be a really good order selector with no mispicks and do over 100k a year with weekly bonuses and OT
I needs that
That's surprising, didn't know that.
@@jamespenny9482yeah really depends on the market your in and if its union with a high pay scale. Plus we get double time on sundays after 8 hrs
The problem with that is, if for whatever reason you get fired, laid off, or quit ( God forbid it ameen ) then you won’t be making that same money again ! I worked in a tire production spot a few years back and I was pushing 100k but I couldn’t take any knowledge to a new job so I had to start back at ground 0
@@PylotGuy i hear you bro, i also have a side vending businesses im scaling monthly, so if anything does happen i have something to fall back on, plus i want to be 100 % self employed anyway, if you have a good job meaning anyone. save up and invest
How hard is this job really? Everyone seems to say it's difficult. What makes it hard? The long hours and work-life balance? Or the physical labor itself? Or a mix of both?
For some people it could be both. I personally think it’s more so the physical aspect of the job. Some of the cases can be 50lb-75lb per case so imagine loading a dolly with several of those cases at a time. Obviously, you should only lift what you’re physically capable of handling safely but going up & down a ramp all day can be tiresome. It’s a little less intensive if you have a lift gate but you still have to run the cases inside the customer with a dolly. It’s tougher for some more than others.
@@imanthonytv I imagine a lot of it is your mindset and if you have a greater goal in mind than simply making money. I also imagine it's a lot easier if you're fit physically and try to eat healthy. I recently got my CDL and debating between being paid to travel the country for a year doing OTR or staying local and working at Sysco Chicago. The food service industry is appealing to me since I'm big into fitness. So it's either be paid to travel or be paid to workout lol
Win Win 👏🏾
@@Jsteelies I say it’s all of what you mentioned that makes it difficult. It’s also very mentally exhausting and challenging. And then you have to deal with BS from Customers and at the distribution center. That also runs people away. It’s not just about being in shape. I’ve seen bodybuilders literally quit on the first day out. It’s just if you can endure
@@eurostep2530 I’ve been in this Food Service for 5 years now. What I’m saying is once you get in.. you’ll see that it’s not just a “workout”.. for there are those who are bodybuilders who can’t hang and there are those who don’t lift weights who have longevity in the Food Service industry.

Congrats bro! Just apply and use my name as a reference. Another sub actually just got hired on at the Tampa location.

It’s going to take time to lean the business to build your skills before you can earn that kind of money. You’re not walking in and getting that pay of the top.

Hey Anthony I got a question? When you say MCLANE will train you with no CDL, does that mean all I need is my permit? I appreciate you dude. My I misunderstood? But thanks IF you can clarify.
McLane has a 6 month complete driver trainee program which essentially trains drivers on obtaining their Class A CDL to become a driver. It doesn’t state anything about needing a permit in the job requirements. Also, I’m not sure if the program is available at all locations so you would need to reach out to them to clarify.

I keep applying for Gordon here in Indiana and they reached out saying they don’t hire Cdl holders with auto trans Restriction but I always see Gordon automatic trucks
You are absolutely correct they don't hire with automatic restrictions and yes they have a mixture of both automatic and manual transmission in my area we have more automatics then manual
It depends on the location. I've seen a driver with auto restriction working for GFS.
Usually only the veterans and shuttle drivers get the automatics. Most the trucks are 10 speed manual.

Just apply bro
Do you have to be 21 or could you be 18. I’m 19 and plan to get my class A cdl but I’ve seen a lot of jobs that you need to be 21
Well I guess it would depend on the position you’re applying for. To drive a tractor trailer you must be a minimum of 21. However, if you’re applying for van delivery driver the minimum age is 18. I think becoming a van delivery driver if you’re 18 may not be a bad idea if your goal is to eventually drive the semi. You could easily move to a semi driver position once you become 21 and you’ll already have experience doing the job. All locations may not have van delivery driver’s so check with the location nearest you. I know the Key West, FL location has van drivers. Good luck. 👍🏾
I had the same issue, I got my Cdl when I was 20. Maverick Transportation hires yard jockey “you will only be moving trailers and backing up” but at least it’s a good start. I’m working for them right now and I’m getting paid 26/hr home daily. Good luck!
I work for Miller Coors and make 70k-80k a year
Does your company hire drivers fresh out of school?
I wish they hired in Jacksonville
Definitely a rare case for GFS to hire in Jacksonville.
So no showin how the unload happen??? are u unloadin by hand or pallet jack
Unloading cases using a hand truck, going down a ramp. There are some locations who have lift gates and electric jack but the majority of GFS drivers only have the ramp. I have hundreds of videos on my channel showing what this job entails.
Does Gordon have 4 day work week or is it just 5?

Does Gordon help you get your CDL
Personally I don’t like that gfs pays someone with a fresh license the same as someone with several years the same, specially when they have delivery experience
It’s not necessarily due to the company itself. There are new driver’s fresh out of school working for other companies like Sysco for example who are making more than some experienced drivers. Experience driver’s who have seniority typically get the best routes. However, that doesn’t mean new driver’s can’t still make 80+ yr. It’s really going to come down to the amount of cases, miles, & hrs, that person works.
