I’ve been at us foods in Phoenix for 6 months now. It’s my first cdl job straight out of trucking school. You have to like what you do. The job is very simple but can be rough if your not a organized person. We are also union down here they just brought in some brand new tractors too.

@Bone Thug happy for you bro! Drivers here in Phoenix average 85k to 95k a year easy. But for me it’s never about the money you have to love what you do and to top it off I choose a industry with job security.

Great videos! I’m considering working for US foods. You should do a time lapse in the videos while your unloading at each stop that would be cool. Thanks for the video.
I did this for a few years the money is very good. But you work for every penny. Hardest part was learning product and knowing where stuff goes. Keep good sources of energy food and hydrate. You are definitely an industrial athlete

I got an interview withUS Foods next week and I was wanting to know if you had any videos going down a ramp with a loaded dolly I haven't seen any videos out there.
Rock on, dude! I miss the food service side of trucking. It was the most fun I ever had and most money ever made. Unfortunately my back and knees can no longer handle that type of work. If that wasn't the case and the company I worked for was still as awesome as when I started in 2009, I'd still be there. That company was UNFI.
@@Duh_wettest95 As long as you're in shape and embrace the suck, you'll be fine. Trucking schools often teach students to refuse to back in gnarly situations. In food service, you're going to HAVE to back in gnarly situations on a regular basis. Once you get over the anxiety of it and manage to do it without banging into things other than the dock, you're going to go into new places with a load of confidence. Stay calm, don't panic, and kill rude clerks with kindness. To answer your question. It's just as demanding since the freight is batch picked. Batch picking the volume UNFI deals with was the start of their turnover troubles. When I started, pallets were all one customer. It made stops 15mins tops rather than 45mins or longer. Whole Foods always took a little time due to the amount any given store receives.
Best career choice ive ever made. Im a night selector in the freezer and love it. My ass cant stay still so i fit right in. Great pay, awesome beenfits and gotta love the free food and energy drinks lol and wings
Wait, I dont get it. Why is everything not just pallatized, with trucks with liftgates so you guys can just take the pallet to the store/restaurant and unload from there if need be? This makes no sense and gives you guys extra work for no reason.
I notice most the food and beverages company application requirements say you need commercial or food and beverage delivery experience… my question is for when the say food and beverage can it be experience or any kind like a “straight truck”??
@@yoboy407 I spoke to some other experience drivers Bcuz i was curious if I went and drove for a food & beverage company for like 3-6 month but it was in a straight truck would these semi food & beverages places take that experience…and has like yeah they most care about the food & beverage experience and Bcuz I got my class a I should be good
Hi buddy I have a question I’m supposed to be moving to palm coast Florida beginning of March is there a terminal there in that town or port orange is the closest if it is do u have a contact person I can call or get in contact with to see how to go about the application cuz I looked on line but it’s not showing no driver position available for port orange maybe I don’t know how to look for it?
I know at my center McLane will send help your way if you get low on hours so you don’t run to zero I thought other food service company’s was like that guess not
Yea for sure they send help but sometimes it's not available so they will lay you over in a hotel if you can't make it in but that's last resort and they mainly watch the newer drivers who mostly need help
My out of shape a** would be hurting for weeks if I ever did this gig. I do OTR, but always like physical work. Plus I like to move fast and not waiting to get unloaded lol
Are y’all hourly or salary? I work for a miller coors distributor in MO. But I would eventually like to switch over to food service at some point when a position becomes available.
Hey, I been a delivery driver for Budweiser for 2 years, I got my hazmat 6 months ago and been delivering fuel. I’m in Charlotte now. I always want to get on with us foods. Any advice. I have filled multiple applications everytime there hiring. Thanks guys.
I came from Sysco they're not telling you the whole truth. 14 hour days one 16 hrs in a week. Extremely hard work, most people do not last. Pallets always tipping over having to dig through a pallet for a few cases is warehouse type work. SMH Yes, the money is good, but it depends. How long you think your last doing it.

They are labeled by stop and the labels are usually color coded so you know the difference between frozen, refrigerated and dry product. But to maximize the cube space in the trailer 1 pallet has multiple stops. The worst part is you get to a customer and they order 6 frozen pieces and it's all the way on the bottom of the pallet that touching the ceiling and has stops 1-8 on it. Trust me, you'll be cussing everybody when you get into a situation like that 😂
The 2 hour exemption is for getting back to the yard only! you can't still have stops left and go into a 16 and you can’t get rescued once you declare a 16 so sometimes it's better not to use it..and you only get a 16 once a week

Drive from Jax FL to Portland Oregon , has to be delivered in 75 hours in December and I-80 is shutdown in Wyoming from snow. Through black ice and chaining up 3 separate times and be the only truck on the road at 2am except for another ups driver or a Russian.

@@yoboy407 yes
😂😂 sometimes you just gotta let people talk because why would you wish failure on another man
Have you ever heard of people getting in trouble or fired at US Foods for not completing routes due to Hours of Service?
Depends if your in a union shop or not
@@dabbadoo2226 yes, it’s union where I’m at. Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing?
@@Antda1. yes I’m at a union shop also which means it’s much harder to fire you believe me we have a few turds that just can’t handle this job but their job is secure, only guys I’ve seen fired are ones who fail a drug test but we recently had a newer guy fail a drug test and now he just had to go to a 2 week program and work in the warehouse hit a year and than he can come back on the road
We’re not union in FL and they won’t fire you for that
Is us foods Union ?
I can't speak for other states but FL no
in california it is idk about other states
USF in New Hampshire is, teamsters if I’m not mistaken
@@kullen3919 almost any trucking jobs in the union will be teamsters.
@@leoam8709 not all DCs in California are union. SF DC and the Sacramento DC are not.
Do they need experience to hire?
No they are hiring guy right out of school now the training is just alot longer though
Wake up at 4:30am. 14 hours a day of hard labor. Go home. Make food. Climb into bed. Set alarm. Repeat every day of your life... just to make the same as the guy holding a steering wheel on open roads
It’s not worth it?
Holding a steering wheel bored as fck, lonely asf, are u getting paid while u sleep an rest on side of road ? Don’t think so u living in that mf that sounds like prison all over to me can’t judge what works for u with what works for others pop..
It’s all preference. Sysco here and I enjoy it. Over the road is boring just sitting for hours and doing absolutely nothing, it wasn’t for me.
@@oldshoe1 ABSOLUTELY NOTHING🤣
Drive from Jax FL to Portland Oregon , has to be delivered in 75 hours in December and I-80 is shutdown in Wyoming from snow. Through black ice and chaining up 3 separate times and be the only truck on the road at 2am except for another ups driver or a Russian. Just to gross $6700 and can never find a safe place to park for 5 hours sleep. Being home every night would be great !
I worked at Pepsi driving trucks hardest job I ever had
I heard that's some hard work
hay guys i ben with us food 32 years i no just how it go
❤❤
Same work Coca Cola but it doesn’t seem to be as bad.
Anyone else noticed how the camera would move right before he picks it up? Is that some ghost or something?
10 stops 600 cases is a cupcake route
Long as the money coming in it doesn’t matter
@@TherapyKutz that’s not enough money for me so it does matter to me
@@dabbadoo2226paid by the hour I believe so you can take your time lol
@@dabbadoo2226yet you’re on here commenting. Get a life
