I pick orders in a warehouse and now you me feeling bad. Everything you spoke about we do 😢😢. I definitely make sure all my pallets are sturdy and wrapped tight. The pallets sideways is called pinwheel we do that to fit extra pallets on a shorter trailer. The original trailer might have had a issue. The Bananas on top probably was a short and the picker had to grab them later.tgat five on the bottom of six and seven was wild. The only thing i can think of is 5 was by itself and 6 and 7 was to big so they broke it down. But i feel bad and gonna try everyone to mindful of the drivers
Hey man thanks for the feedback and honest breakdown on how things are being done in the warehouse. I can honestly say that a lot of drivers assume the worst about the warehouse when we get a terrible load and ridiculously built pallets. We think a lot of it is done on purpose yet hope there isn’t any malicious intent. Although some drivers just complain about everything, there are some legitimate gripes. Thanks again bro 🫡
@koolshep• that was my MAIN!!! reason for leaving US Foods after 2yrs. Our DC in Knoxville, TN was THEE worst at holding the warehouse accountable for screwing up the trailers. On multiple occasions, drivers had to down-stack a whole damn pallet in search for a block of cheese the customer "really needed" 🤨 They only cared about loading the trailer and sending it off with the relay drivers. That's the main reason why I went to Gordon Food Service for 5yrs; the product is floor loaded. There was only a 2% chance you'll have to dig for cases; because the heavy product MUST be on the bottom or it's a chemical product that's off to the side with the rest of the chemicals.
@@kodeezieproductions yooo I literally had to do that Friday at a hospital because they wanted/needed cheese and it was on the bottom of another cooler pallet all that breaking down for 1 item
What’s up man! I have an interview and road test tomorrow with US Foods. I like your content. I know going into this gig you gotta be mentally prepared and willing to tough out the rough days. Thanks for giving an insight to the job and letting people know what to expect. That way there are no surprises and you know what you’re getting into. Thanks for the positivity brotha! 💪 😎
What’s going on brother, appreciate you checking out the content! Just trying to add value anyway I can to anyone who is willing to watch and listen. Good luck to you on your interview and road test, I’m positive you’re going to murder it! Stay tuned for more 🫡🙏🏾
@@TayTheLocalTrucker I got the job offer right after the interview and road test! Looking forward to putting in the work for that paper! Keep up the good content man! Appreciate you!
The truth is there is so much of a high turnover rate by the time one guy gets really good in the warehouse somebody else is quitting. This means this experience guy is going to be there longer helping out ultimately making this person worn out. Eventually this person will quit or stop caring as much as they used to about their work performance. There is a lot of pressure on the warehouse workers in regards to having to meet to certain numbers. You are in a warehouse all night going from cold to room temperature lifting heavy to light getting on and off your machine being mindful not to hit someone or get hit etc they hire a certain amount of people which complicates things and there should always be a helper with the truck. There will always be a need for someone needing a job and a place that doesn't require experience in regards to the warehouse is easy to hire.
You are correct for sure. I use to work for Food Lion Distribution and the pressure on the personnel in the warehouse is astounding and the turnover rate is just as high with them as it is for drivers. I think there is an overall lack of management and leadership in these warehouses. There are way too many guys above our pay grade who don’t “work” as if they actually care about their people as much as they do the job that is suppose to be done
I’m a little surprised about the pay with Sysco, I know a couple guys down here making $100K there but everything does depend on location and contracts. Glad you got on with USF, good luck to you bro
Trying doing that in a 28 footer and it being 22 stops instead of 8. That was my life at Sysco. At Cheney bros now but US Foods was the best company I worked for in this industry (got fired over attendance). But hang in there and keep the content coming 💪🏿💯
Salute 🫡 to you bro. Appreciate you dropping the comment. I’ve seen those trailers at Sysco and man ol man that would have me fuming. I plan on retiring form USF, how’s life at Cheney?
😆 this sounds like a regular day at Sysco bro lol they load us 16 stops 700+ cases on a 28footer 😭 all this sounded too familiar days like this come but we just gotta make it work 🦾 keep at it my man
Yessssiiiirrrr, days like these come and go and when they come it’s terrible but still rewarding at the end when you see and empty trailer and great paycheck.!
I can almost guarantee that it’s not “smoke” but a pile of “sh@t” , and on ah regular, I had to deal with that kind of mess for 3 months straight and I called it quits cause time and time again they never got it together. I do fuel hauling now and two weeks worth of work here doesn’t even compare to half ah days work in food service I commend you because sombody got to do it , JUST NOT ME STAY SAFE DRIVER
I wasn’t willing to do touch freight after being on the Dollar tree account. But I’m about to hop on this. I’d rather deal with this than 4000 piece/ 40,000lb trailers for DT. Shit is killing me.
Each its own but I don't give a damn. You can't pay me enough to drive a commercial truck with my CDL and pick that 💩 up off the back of the truck. Hell no 😎 rather select cases in the warehouse.
hey brother greetings, I am a cdl driver I live in NYC and I plan to move to NC raleigh or clayton do you live in zebulon NC? I want to ask you a question if you don't mind
No, the only way to have that many days off is if your route for the week is a 2 day work week or you have requested the days off for that week. Unless you’re an extra board guy, they will work you everyday if they can

Yooo I woulda been PISSED..I've have some bad days out here at US FOODS but that woulda been top 3 worse
@koolshep900 It was hard not to be and to take it worse, the load sheet indicated how it was supposed to be loaded and they did their on thing smh
Yoo good shit bro just remember, at the end of the day the day gonna end!
Yessir, trailer will be empty and the day will be over 💯
And tomorrow is waiting , 😁
I too work in food service and I hear it in your voice I’ve literally sat in the car and contemplated life after days like this lol (gfs)

Appreciate it my guy 🫡
One of my main issues is....they dont put enough accountability on the warehouse/loaders the drivers gotta work miracles

That happens in Dallas Tx too. I think it is all USFoods
@shannontlane9338 It probably is

At least in the summer is not bad i imagine in the winter with the snow.
I can’t even front, the snow is one element I do not want to deal with and very thankful that is hardly snows here in my part of NC
Man they worked you so bad today you ain’t even put the hat and sun glasses on 😂 way to stick with it man 💪🏾
😂😂😂…rough days have you changing your wardrobe 😂
i feel ya on that. some days the trailer is loaded so full the pallet almost touching the door. no room for you or the dolly lol
Preach🙌🏾🙌🏾

No, I can’t handle it. That’s why I took a pay cut to haul chemicals for Schneider. 😢. Taking so many Ls 😂
😂😂…the L’s just mean you’re learning.
Good content Bro. Just know that the main thing is you made it through the day. Rest up and relax you earned it for sure.
No doubt! Thanks bro 💯🫡
Hang in there tay you will get your blessings
💯, thank you
I starting this monday with us foods in allentown pa, sysco is more work and less pay than is foods, unfi is good too a little less money but easier.
I’m a little surprised about the pay with Sysco, I know a couple guys down here making $100K there but everything does depend on location and contracts. Glad you got on with USF, good luck to you bro
Trying doing that in a 28 footer and it being 22 stops instead of 8. That was my life at Sysco. At Cheney bros now but US Foods was the best company I worked for in this industry (got fired over attendance).
But hang in there and keep the content coming 💪🏿💯
Salute 🫡 to you bro. Appreciate you dropping the comment. I’ve seen those trailers at Sysco and man ol man that would have me fuming. I plan on retiring form USF, how’s life at Cheney?
@goldmouthsperspective What makes us foods the best in your opinion? Got an offer for us foods and Jake's trying to decide
Sysco will have you doing 12+ stops, almost 900 cases in a 28’ 😂 get that rest in 💯
Maaaannnnn yall trailers ain’t no joke or for the faint of heart 😂…appreciate you man 🫡
i know your struggle brother not just us food, coremark is crazy

Thanks for tapping in bro, I appreciate your comment. Stay safe out there G 🫡
If you live near a port, do container work easy and ,pays good, no touch freight.
As far as I know, it’s no touch freight
I wasn’t willing to do touch freight after being on the Dollar tree account. But I’m about to hop on this. I’d rather deal with this than 4000 piece/ 40,000lb trailers for DT. Shit is killing me.
One of my coworkers came from Werner on a DG account an I believe he likes this better plus the schedule it too sweet to pass up! Good luck bro 🫡
I used to work I'm Dg too, Dg Is hard work too.
Yesterday was my first day solo and I feel like I got hit by a train 😂
😂😂😂, don’t worry my guy, your body will adjust. I’m sure you did your thing on your first solo day
Gotta grind so you can shine

hey brother greetings, I am a cdl driver I live in NYC and I plan to move to NC raleigh or clayton do you live in zebulon NC? I want to ask you a question if you don't mind
I live close to Raleigh. What you got for me?
If u need about ,3 days off rhey hive it to you?
No, the only way to have that many days off is if your route for the week is a 2 day work week or you have requested the days off for that week. Unless you’re an extra board guy, they will work you everyday if they can
What is the heaviest day of the week
For me it’s Friday
Fat check by the end of the week
Does us foods hire sap drivers
There are some divisions that do. I can’t confirm if all do but some such as my division for example do hire SAP drivers
What about alabama
But the question is did you make money 😅lol
AND YOU KNOW THIS MAAANNNN (in my Smoky voice) 😂
@@TayTheLocalTrucker 😂 Friday movie
@paulgarza2231 I don’t see why not
Quit and get your hazmat
🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
U get fat just driving like some people, touching Freight make u stay I'm good shape, they are bothering too much now.
At the end of my 13 year run with food service I would just bring shit like that back😂
😂 that was my thought process at the beginning of the route
