4th of July is usually very slow for the inside eating establishment. The outside places will do a greater business. That’s pretty universal in that business.
I work for pepsi i used google map every day for 9 years doing relief routes in ny and ct area .. lots of low bridges train tracks from the 1900's. Never had a problem . I use the satellite view so i can see that the road goes over the tracks and if doesn't go under i use the steetview and see the height signs ... now i have my own route finally 😅 and is just bulk i dont touch anything ..
Keep up the good content man, you helped me a lot. I just got on @PFG, starting to train on the truck in a couple hours 🙏🏾 You must have wanted to go home bc you could’ve made it back to your room lol. Wouldn’t be me parking a truck overnight ima hit the hotel PFG reserves for me lol. But to each their own.
I appreciate you watching! Good luck with the new job! Yeah I wanted to sleep on my own bed lol, especially being that close. You couldn't pay me to sleep in the hotel I parked the truck at lol
If anyone thinks that route is hard in anyway do not! DO NOT try to work for sysco. That is a baby route over here at sysco. Hahaha smallest route i have had in the last year is 600-700 cases. Normally 800 plus and 15-19 stops.
Good content here in Los Angeles they are hiring @ $33 n hour But I defended don’t wanna do layovers I don’t mind working 14 hours wich am allready doing with current company
I feel ya, I didn't really want to either but opened up to the idea, it's kinda enjoyable but sometimes does get old. Your location might have home daily options
If the hotel wants to nickel and dime you, I would just have your company use another hotel. If you were a guest of the hotel would they still charge you to stay? Some places charge for parking and some don’t. Now if you don’t have a room then it’s perfectly understandable that they want you to pay $$ for parking. If they can go without the $$ your company spends putting their drivers up then maybe you have more power than you think by using your spending power to go somewhere else...the greed of these places is totally out of control sometimes. I don’t know as much about this situation so I’m just giving my two cents.
Just found your channel the other day, love what you’re putting out. I’m otr now, 1 year under my belt in November. Do you know if pfg offers relocation assistance? Sysco does but I’ve heard bad things about them.
Thank ya! I think some OpCos do, depends on where they really need help. Sysco is pretty much like anyone else in Foodservice. Hit or miss depends on the OpCo and location
@Christopher Pape it'll depend on where you're based, but tbh now I think a lot of the problems I've heard about sysco are just prevalent in the food distribution industry in general. First stops being buried underneath later stops, questionable equipment. The pay seems to be legit though. I went with a small regional company and make $100k with a little bit of overtime. If you can handle the labor sysco does seem pretty good relative to the industry. Do your research on the terminal local to you though. Glassdoor and indeed are great
I work for m margaritas in Portland Maine and performance food service truck up here in Portland Maine and I l Know number he tell he works two weeks on and two weeks off and you guys work very hard
i start orientation on Monday I’m doing the roma division in the Dallas area . They say I have a co driver with me for training can’t wait to see how it goes
Nice congrats on the job! Yeah you'll be with someone for a few weeks before they cut you loose, they'll show you the ropes on stacking and using the dolly/paperwork, all that good stuff! Good luck!
I worked at the Dallas location. Start times vary. Anywhere from 1-5 am. You’ll be moved around with different drivers . You won’t have a set route right away. It’ll take a while. Hard work but you get used to it. Takes lots of water. 100 + degree weather all week
@@nicogonzales7955 that’s cool and all that. I’ve made 2k take home a week in foodservice but I’m tired of putting my life on the line in dangerous places at 12am-2am to make that. Y’all can have that
I work for Mclane and it’s very similar to your company except we are alittle bit more unorganized compared to you lol. Lately our trailers have been getting loaded like crap been thinking about switching to that company
I think poorly loaded trailers are a staple in the foodservice industry lol. I rarely have good loads where everything comes off easy, it's really hit and miss with the warehouse pickers
I was just wondering how do I get on with PFG? I live out of Las Vegas, NV? I had spoken with a gentalmen from Arizona that runs PFG region he had said we dont have the means of training new drivers out of CDL School, even though he had said this they are still hiring CDL A Drivers in Las Vegas even though the same guy will call me for a screening should I still apply? Why does this have to be so difficult with this company did you have the same problem getting hired by this company?
They might be hiring drivers with experience already. Not every location hires from CDL school, I think I mentioned that in another video but if not, there it is. Hopefully they will be able to get you in and trained!
So do you work out of the pfg location on the east side of town or you work the one by the underground. I’m entering the warehouse to driver program in a week from the one by the underground any tips?
Well the pay really isn't one answer. Some locations are on component pay, which is pay by stop pay by mile and pay by case, others could be hourly. I think everybody's rates are just a little bit different depends on where you go. The trucks are governed at 68, some trucks go 70 on cruise.
Some days I left at 8pm and got back at 3-4am. Others I didn't leave until 11pm and got back at 8am. All depends on your run, how far it is, and how good your warehouse is about loading
T1, just applied for job in Springfield. Wondering if there is a way to contact you to ask some questions. How could I contact you if that’s ok. Live in Strafford MO Thanks, Ken

How is the drug testing process??
How you liking it?
You would think your employer would line haul trailers to a drop yard down in Arkansas and have drivers living down there?
No locks on the trailers....Ur dealing with food...security is lax..until something happens..
That hummer tho lol 😂 3 miles a gallon
🤣 not even kidding
I can’t believe that place charged you $25 to park in a dirt lot. No respect whatsoever.
That's what I'm sayin !
When you were at pfg how long were your days? How many hours did you work in a day/week?
US. Food driver here same difference
You got a easy ass route lol. I never even seen those case numbers
Yeah my Friday route is pretty easy.

Invest in a good handtruck buy more bungee
So do you work out of the pfg location on the east side of town or you work the one by the underground. I’m entering the warehouse to driver program in a week from the one by the underground any tips?
East side off 44, I didn't even know the Rinehart location did dock to driver
@@t1truckin yeah they do it’s warehouse to wheels program I’m currently a order selector.
@@habit_attack4888 how did the transition go for you?
Anyone from the Sacramento area? Thinking of joining Performance in Sacramento and looking for any input on that particular yard. Thanks in advance.
So if you didn't have the cash money like they wanted what happened?
They'd ask me to leave, or run my debit card and charge a card processing fee. Then PFG would reimburse me.
Do you suggest females for the part of trucking?
Whats the training pay ?
Did you ever find out bro? I’m starting orientation on Monday
I don't remember exactly, I know it was a set rate, pretty sure it was $800 or $900 a week.
Nah, it’s $300 per day for training
Component pay and miles is bullshit☠️☠️☠️☠️
What's the pay rate for PFG? I can't find that info anywhere. There's a opco in East Tennessee that's hiring. What are the trucks governed at?
Well the pay really isn't one answer. Some locations are on component pay, which is pay by stop pay by mile and pay by case, others could be hourly. I think everybody's rates are just a little bit different depends on where you go. The trucks are governed at 68, some trucks go 70 on cruise.
Right on, thanks for the informative response.
Hahaha ah the land of imagination. It should say, men, we need strong backs so the top guys can get a few new benz and another lakehouse.
R there no sleeper trucks in this food service field?
Not out of the Springfield Mo opco
Hey bro how long are the trucks boxes ?
53ft?
20ft??
48, 36, or 28. Double 28s are also an option if you do shuttles
Nice route...howlong have u been with pfg... I also make content
I'll check out your chanel!
I've only been doing this for 4 months so far
What are the hours like? For shuttle drivers
Some days I left at 8pm and got back at 3-4am. Others I didn't leave until 11pm and got back at 8am. All depends on your run, how far it is, and how good your warehouse is about loading
@T1Truckin have a road test tomorrow morning. What exactly do they do during the drive?
What was home time like? And how long did you work daily?
I worked usually 11-13 hours a day, home Wednesday night-Sunday. Usually back out Sunday night or early Monday morning
@@t1truckin so 3 days on 4 days off almost
I applied for class a delivery. Class b delivery and also class a shuttle driver
First preference would be shuttle driver though
Yeah usually 4 on 3 off with delivery. Shuttle is super easy work, usually overnight if you're down for that
What speed is PFG governed at? Just curious
68, some trucks do 70 on cruise
@@t1truckinfront facing camera?
Yup.
Every where u go no respect for driver
What are you averaging per week?
About $1300 weekly

Too much time wasted looking for product...look the trucks right..
It has gotten a little better since this video

A couple reasons. Mainly if one breaks I have a backup. Second, I load both and run both, repeat. Just makes it a little quicker
