I worked there for six years from the age of 25 to 31. The pay not worth the hard labor you will experience not alone supervisors there always down your back,about timing wanting you to do something totally impossible that they couldn’t do I eventually got my own truck life’s been so much less stressful not alone I don’t have any back problems or knee problems no more
Salute 🫡🙏🏾 to you my brother!! I’m glad you were able to get your own truck and be prosperous in the O/O world. I don’t know if that is something for me personally but I applaud anyone who can and has done it. Thanks for checking out the content💯
I worked at Cheney Brothers for closer to two years and Bro most stressful mental and physical pressure I’ve ever had in my whole life. I’ll never do food service again.
@kremlin876ix the PTSD from food service is joked about but it is a real thing. Hope you e landed on a more peaceful and lucrative lane in trucking bro. Thanks for tappin in
Nice video Bro. Let this sink in. According to the US Census Bureau, the majority of Americans (54.98%) make $50,000 per year or less, while only 18% of individual Americans make $100,000 per year or more. This means that over 80% of Americans make less than $100,000 per year. It's definitely worth it
Sinking….sinking….sinking….bro that’s FACTS and even when people read it they will still say it’s not worth it and/or it’s not enough. If you can keep majority of the $100,000 you’ll be winning. Appreciate your input and you checking out the video 🫡
@@TayTheLocalTrucker That's true. Either way being able to make that much is a blessing. Being that only 18 percent of the population makes that amount. Nice video keep them coming.
Enjoy your vids...takes me back to when i did foodservice...Money should buy us 2 things: Freedom of Time (Time Freedom) and Freedom of Opportunity...May I suggest the book The book "The Simple Path to Wealth" by JL Collins. It came out 2015 and can be found/heard on YT. And the podcast/YT channel ChooseFI (financial independence)...More power to you.
Bro thanks for commenting and checking out the content!! I can only hope to be in the same position as you in my future. I love being here at US Foods. Something I wish I would’ve done earlier in life. 🫡💯
I find it funny people call this hard labor, while it's not easy that's for sure; my previous job was tank cleaning on yachts. Crawling through 100 chambers of 3 ft by 3 ft sewage tanks for up to 8 hours at a time on your hands and knees, while breathing through a gas mask and carrying pressure washers and power tools with you. The food industry pays me 4x what that job was. It's all about perspective, if you've never been in some real hellholes you'd probably think this job is hard..

I started out in food delivery & let me tell you , once you start food delivery & stay in it for some years don’t quit because your body will fall apart unless you continue to workout. Food delivery is a physical lifestyle that your body adapts to like the military.
I did 7 months as a Driver for Coke and im now one month in at Us Foods out here in Phoenix and so far my paychecks make way more sense compared to Beverage. Appreciate your videos bro
Yessirrrrrr, your time at Coke I’m sure was beneficial to what you now do at US Foods and of course the pay is just better. I got a coworker who came from Coke and he says the exact same thing you said. Keep killing it bro. Appreciate you checking out the content 🫡🤦🏾♂️
@@BigdogDog-rk8cibro I was trying to go to coke in South Florida but the pay was 21 an hour. Hell nah. As a forklift operator I was making 24 so it was like a step down.😅
Aye bro appreciate the videos. I’m just starting my 3rd week at US food over here next door at one of the plants here in Atl. Compared to the year and a half at Pepsi. This is way better for me and my family yes the work is tough but i love to workout but nothing unbearable.
Excellent mindset bro! Everything with this job is all about mindset and approach and with the one you have I know you’re killing the game! Happy for you and family my guy, and thanks for checking out the videos…stay tuned 🙏🏾🫡
Im at pepsi now on my 3rd month, i just came for the experience then to move on. I like that US foods doesn’t have to merchandise the product. Just drop and go.
@JamesJohnson-oc4re Bro that’s one of the best parts about it!! We don’t put up anything at all. You may be kind to a customer and like put up a bag of onions or something but it’s never required. We have customers who would say oh my last driver use to put this up for me but even in that scenario, you’re not required to do so. Good luck to you bro
Honestly how is the transition? The merchandising / DG managers and finding credits that just explode everywhere in the trailer are driving me insane!! I actually like the physical work just can’t stand the check in process. Please let me know what you think and how it’s going?
@@Muricastuff Whats up bro . A little update. As far as the work is physical but i am good with it. The only issue is the route i have only pays less than 1k and I can’t go for that i have major responsibilities to pay every month. It’s to the point where they are offering me financial assistance SMH. I was a Pepsi for 2 years and got paid way more for a 4 day work week. So unfortunately my US Food location doesn’t pay overtime and it’s not a real 300 dollar minimum. The only way to make money here is to get 1200 cases a day and drive far out for miles. I was promised M-F schedule that didn’t happen. I got my Haz/Tank and Twic so I’ll be moving on to that field. Until that happens I’ll probably go to 7up in my area they are not as popular as the other beverages so it’s way easier
Just did my first day at Shamrock ☘️ The food service business is not what i expected, its definitely hard work! So much respect to anyone who does this!
22 yrs doing foodservice delivery (McLane). Definitely underpaid, but I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. The key is to know your limits and work smart thats how you last a long time in this business. I don't work weekends either, and the benefits are very good.
22 years!! Salute to you bro. I hope to make it that long but you’re right…know your limits Mr. Wayne (sorry I’m a Batman guy 😂). Nothing like the weekends off, I never want to give that flexibility up! Stay safe bro
Love the way you keep it real brother. Im considering getting a CDL and doing food service for a while....glad to see someone making it happen....6 figures is dont grow on trees.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker That's what my trainer told me. This job is 90% mental. I took that to heart and I'm still here years later, unloading trailers on the daily.
Did almost 8 years with US Foods in KC/Topeka KS. I DO understand it’s WORK! Hats off to ya bud. At McDonalds now and yes, the foodservice industry is no joke…. It’s crazy. 👍👍
@DougReid-ue6er What’s up brother…start times vary depending on your route. You could start as early as 11PM or as late as 5:30AM. The division I work for has weekends off but it depends on which division you’re with. Good luck to you
In my opinion I think it’s very rare to find otr drivers making more then foodservice guys especially considering a lot of us get free medical and good retirement.
Damn the extra money Food service is not worth it and I done both. When it rains and cold out side shii sucks 😂. Along with those small freezers in certain places sucks
When I first graduated from CDL school I got recruited by a food company. When they told me I might have to unload 800 to 1100 boxes I said I'll pass. I didn't get into this business to do hard labor I'm lazy I need no touch freight 😅😅😅
Yeah and barely make 55 a year. I’ve done regional (money was horrible), flatbed (1,200 a week), and now I’m about to enter the food service industry ($35 a hour). Food service and oil transportation are the only two industries paying 100+k a year. Both jobs you’re working! Want to make that money? Hard work is warranted.
Ltl is definitely easier than food service Of course, don't make as much money. But I'm not breaking my back every day, not stressed out. Breaking down an entire pallet at every stop, making multiple trips with the dolly, scanning cases, etc...... I love my job as a pick up and delivery driver!

@@TayTheLocalTruckeryes sir. I actually have a class A but they required a year for that position so they offered me the class B in the meantime until after 6 months I’ll be able to drive those trailers🙌
Ain't nothing like seeing only your handcart and curb ramp in the end of the trailer. I got my first trucking job with McLane. I had a few solo routes but was thankful for my partners. Went to USF and I didn't like going to the restaurants alone doing key drops. I guess because I'm a woman and it be people sleeping outside the doors people walking up like naw. I start carrying my buddy with me🔫 I had a guy try to run up on me one night. I had to get out of there. I went to Coke after that i liked it better because I just dropped the pallets or sometimes unstack them in a certain area. I liked all of them but yes it does get to your back😅 it's truly a workout. One i kinda miss cause i didn't have to go to the gym lol. I thank God for being an O/O now. I do local work home everyday and i can choose if I and cross state lines but I don't have to. 🙌🏾 God Bless you and your family BRO. Also the UFS I use to work for didn't have union that's a Blessing yours do.
Sounds like you really went out there and got experience in all of it! Congratulations on becoming an O/O and best of luck to you on your journey. Stay safe out there
@TayTheLocalTrucker yes sir. I did. I don't regret a bit of it. It was fun. But very tiring. Thank you and God Bless you and your beautiful family. 💪🏾🙏🏽
Sometimes looking at product can be overwhelming with the amount of cases you are required to unload. Having your own route you get quicker because you will know the best times to do all your stop. You will know where all your customers are located and especially know where things go. You will know which stop to do first and can even switch things around. If i remember U.S foods at least at my location didnt use the side door on the trailers. Sysco uses there side door. Unfortunately no job anymore pays what the job requires. But it all depends on your life style. Being smart and not over spending.
Whats going on man? Had some issues with my channel and had to make a new one. Im actually out in NC right now visiting the family. Thats about how all my loads looked before i left on family leave 😂 our warehouse has been slacking the last month or so.
Food service has it pros, if are looking to make some money and gain some experience driving, Food Service can benefit you. I say get all you can get out of it( save for a down payment for a home, get out of debt) and move on... after taxes and benefits taken out I was taking home $1,750 a week(take home) you can tell me thats not good money, they are guys who make way more than that...the benefits are good...food service is all mental
I worked in restaurant management for 12 years, holding every position from sushi house dishwasher all the way to general manager of a steakhouse. All the delivery drivers either complained about the job or complained about their knees and back. I would never, unless i had to. I now drive otr flatbed, making well over 6 figures. Yes we have to secure and tarp, but at best its a couple hours of work in the elements.
Now that’s outstanding, to make that kind of money for a couple of hours of physical work, awesome my guy. OTR just isn’t feasible for me and my family right now. Thanks for checking out the channel 🫡
@TayTheLocalTrucker much respect 🙏 i dont know if the puplic understands the toll food delivery takes on drivers' physical health. Stay healthy my friend
Been doing local delivery for 11 yrs same company before that i was OTR for 8 yr and I make six figures but I work 50 up to 60 hours a weeks seven to eight months out of the year the other four months 40 to 50 hours a week..Usually have between 800 and 1300 cases all mixed and have to separate the freight thats stacked on pallets before taking it into the stores usually around 12 to 17 stops and 200 to 380 miles of driving..Is it worth it,well I own a home,five cars and go on vacation three times a year and always have what i need and some of what i want..So imo yes its worth it if you have the testicular fortitude,drive and ya dont call in and ya dont have a problem working the hours or need off for family time in my case iv always worked long hours so i had kids that understood that i might make it for birthday parties,ball games etc and might not..But that time always got made up..
Salute 🫡 to you my brother, you’ve definitely put in the time and built the life you wanted and can reflect on and enjoy with your family. That’s what it’s all about and what I’m working for. Appreciate you tapping in brother
I worked at us foods in 2022 made about 7k a month after taxes only worked 4 days a week Only reason I left was because of the crazy schedule never had a set schedule but that’s when my kids were smaller, definitely thinking about going back
Wooooohhhoooooo 😂 some days the warehouse don’t play. Then you get inside and get busy and be like I know I don’t work in the warehouse but damn this could’ve been done differently 😂
12 yrs in LA Mirada, takes a toll on your knees. Money is great especially because of lack of drivers the company is giving us an additional $250 for working on our day off.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker yes ! Additional to the regular hourly pay usually offered on Mondays and Saturdays because it's difficult to get drivers on those days. Initially the company was mandating us to work without the extra pay but since we fought back the company offered the bonus pay.
Did it for 3years after taxes 1200 or 1300 on a 2300 gross check 1 to 2am dispatch i.e meaning work call to end around 3pm maybe 5 pm not worth your body for the labor your gross with be around 2300 but once taxes and benefits hit 401k your be around 1200 maybe 1300 that a heavy route 1200 case you will have a long day 13hr just below FMCSA hrs everyday believe that no bull easy day 300 case or a back haul which is 270 not minus the taxes take out. So a 40hr work with gross 1200 take home 900 to 850 if I’m lying try it the turn around rates on these jobs are at 81 percent also let me clarify 2300 my mistake is around it be around 1400 to maybe 1500 my apologies but that’s off a 70 hrs work week because you are local not over the road so you fall in a time clock not ELD
@@TayTheLocalTrucker not talking about the hourly I’m talking about pay which is not equivalent to work you do there you get paid hourly which is chump change and by case which don’t add up how you running a truck that’s making 20 to 40 k a day and only seeing 200 to 300 dollars I got it fuel and maintenance but they got their own fuel terminal there and working 13 to 14 hours and not being paid not knocking what you like is for you FMCSA don’t have nothing to do with pay you title is pay that’s why you on TH-cam to make extra paid from our views and comments
@@bobbyblue1865 I can only hope to get monetized on TH-cam one day and thanks to you guys I’m definitely on my way so I definitely appreciate it! And to some extent you are right when it comes to hourly vs the component pay aspect, but that’s assuming companies will pay a really good hourly wage. $30/hour for 60 hours a week is grossing $1800 and most of these local companies in food service to be specific are t going over $30-$32 hourly (although I’m sure in other areas of the country it’s probably more based on living standards). I gross more than that working less hours on my component pay. All in all you’re still right because whether it’s hourly or component, companies are still getting over on what they’re paying drivers.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker I respect you man a lot people not built for that line of work the turn around rate is ridiculous 85 percent so too work there and deal with bs with trailer late start and definitely the restaurant employees and fast food employees that talk to you crazy and management you have to have tough skin. Appreciate your content
@bobbyblue1865 Salute to you my brother. It’s a tough gig for sure but what it does for me and my family, it’s worth enduring…at least until I find something else 😂🫡
Applied to swift today the goal is to become local food delivery after I get my experience and all goes well. Currently doing HVAC tired of them attics in the summer need a career change 🤞🏽
I did this job for along time. The money isnt worth the wear and tear on your body. You can stretch relax go to the chiropractor eat healthy and eat right job ages you fast. Now i deliver propane and cylinders physical but a whole hell of lot easier just one product. I dont miss the constant digging for stops and the idiotic supervisors that dont appreciate the drivers and dont understand what it takes to unload one of these. Also hes right cant get overwhelmed with 1100 cases and 9 stops. I would rather have more cases and less stops. Then more stops like 14 with maybe 500 peaces or cases. Somestimes more driving burns up your hours of service. Main thing is keep moving and be consistent. I was never fast nor was i slow. You will make alot of money but its not easy money you earn every penny.
You can make good money with a highschool education in the trucking industry. Been doing ltl for 10 years now. Not quite 6 figs but high 5's. Its a good gig. But not for everyone.
Speak on it bro!! Appreciate your insight on LTL real quick. Most drivers who comment on it say there isn’t much money in it. But you’re definitely right, it’s not for everyone
PFG Driver here. It's definitely not worth it, you can make about the same running LTL within a decent company. All that money just to need a knee replacement down the road....
No no no my guy you’re definitely cut out for it I will say it’s not for everyone but it’s a mind thing. Unless you’re just not physically capable to do it, I assure you that you can. If you’ve completed one route, you can complete any route. Keep going!! Thanks for checking out the content 🫡🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing appreciate you I may be joining US foods for the long-term I'm 52 years young been driving and then the industry since 1992 For me I would enjoy the workout I know it's not an easy job especially coming into the food service once again at a later age and later stage in my life but the consistency is there local coming home everyday whether it's a shorter day or longer day I'm still coming home at the end of that day and having an opportunity to have a 5-day work week even maybe a 6-day work week here and there I still come home at the end of the day and that would still leave me either 2 days off or one day off during the week versus OTR as mentioned consistently gone sacrificing something that's what they call the money bag yet your family at home I'm sure for those OTR guys the family loved ones significant other would prefer that you're close by and you're the hedge and the covering versus being gone all the time Previously I worked at Core Mark and Sysco foods Just within the last year and a half two years ago really not too bad Thanks for sharing have an awesome blessed day to all 🙏🏾♥️
What’s up my guy, thanks for tuning into the channel, I really appreciate it. It’s a great thing you’ve got experience in food service so it won’t take long for your body to get acclimated again to the work load. I agree with everything you said, which is why OTR just isn’t for me, especially at this stage of my life and my children’s lives. Consistency and home time is important. Best of luck to you on your journey and welcome back to the food service ranks! 🙏🏾🫡
@@HeyArnoldGotAFootballHeadexactly we deliver to hospitals,schools,restaurants etc all these places need there food products 😅…Robot can’t take this job ,recession,or a pandemic..Foodservice driver will be safe plus most are teamsters Union
Sucks bc I had two different interviews one w Sysco and one with Mcclane neither will hire me bc of no experience really sucks bc I like the physical aspect of it guess I’ll have to wait it out and reapply
@@TayTheLocalTrucker yeah I had an interview with PepsiCo and they declined me too but I feel it was bc of my skin color and being a woman that’s how I feel with a lot of the food service sucks bc I am a hard worker and I don’t just want to be sitting down driving soon as the Mcclane hiring manager seen me he said they wasn’t hiring new drivers and that he already had two new people being trained and he couldn’t train no more than two at a time out on the yard and I’m just like but yall seen that I was a new grad so why waste my time having me come there like yall could of told me that on the phone or just declined my application like let’s get fr ima try US foods I just don’t know how to get ahold of them my application says under review but i havent heard anything
@MileysDollHause Yeah it’s unfortunate that these companies are turning you down. We’re really transitioning out of the slow season in food service but the market has become extremely competitive with it being flooded with drivers who were either let go or came off the road because they want to be local or their previous company shut down. Don’t give up though, stay diligent and persistent. Drop an app for every company you come across. Check even the smaller name ones in your area, just to get your foot in the door and get your experience up. The same companies who turned you down will be begging for a new driver soon enough. Look into beer companies as well
@@TayTheLocalTrucker what’s some good beer companies and are you able to talk to somebody see if they can give me a call 😂 I’m desperate honestly and appreciate the positive feedback def needed to hear that bc I’m getting discouraged stay blessed
Unfortunately there isn’t anyone I could talk to. What area are you in? It’s best to search for beverage opportunities in your area because there are companies that aren’t big names like Coke or Pepsi. As far as US Foods, try calling the HR department for the division you applied to and see if they can give you some details on your app. Best of luck to you on your journey, I’m positive you’ll find an opportunity soon. Stay blessed
Good afternoon sir, I've a question for you. Does each store have it own pallets? I mean do they mix pallets? I remember when was working with mclane Food Service with mix stores on pallets and you'll have to dig to look for another store product.
No sir, we definitely have to dig for the product. The only stops that are palletized are the pallet drops. You may get lucky from time to time and have a stop where a section is on a pallet by itself but it doesn’t happen often. We dig
I worked at Sysco all of 6 months 😂😂. The physical part was nothing for me I used to be a selector and have done physical work all my life. My problem was the trucks not loaded correctly, trucks loaded late, selectors not stacking and zoning properly and the routing was off sometimes. They made the job 10x more difficult than it needed to be.
Life of us food service drivers right! It’s easy fixes that could implemented but no one likes to listen to the driver…they just want us to get it off the trailer
When you first start out, don’t spend so much time trying to get your truck and trailer in that “perfect” spot in order to work. Just park, hop out, set the cones and get to it. Also, don’t get flustered or overwhelmed with the load, just keep moving and the cases will come off. Give yourself some grace but stay constantly moving those cases, repetition will build speed
Yuh worked for Pepsi for few months.. you work 5 days a week 10-14 hour days non stop labor. Yeah u making bank but at what cost? Working 60 hours with no home life and your body is cooked
Question bro, im deciding between KAG fuel hauling and US Foods. I dont mind the labor work but for the most part, can u get 65-70 hrs a week working for US Foods? Cz if i cant get 65-70 hrs a week then ill choose KAG. Kag is 36$ per hr and 12 hr shifts. US foods is 33.36 per hr but medical, dental and vision is covered. Thanks bro.
What’s up bro. When it comes to hours at US Foods it will truly depend on the situation you walk into. Majority of new drivers spend a day or two out of the week on the extra board so you won’t get those hours starting off especially if the division you get hired for operates based off of seniority. If KAG can get you those hours starting out then I would say to most definitely pick them.
I believe the difference is the vehicle you drive. US Foods has a position for drivers to deliver via using a van or straight truck that doesn’t require a Class A
Not necessarily, LTL linehaul can be 6 figures drop and hook. I did a 10.5 hour run 480 miles 240 each way and grossed 440$ just pulled 2 sets of doubles
Nothing but facts bro 👍🏽 new sub here! Been in foodservice for 5 years n I love it like you it works for me too so I dnt mind the physical part of it 💯🦾
I am home every night and don’t work weekends. I work on average 52-56 hours a week. I am on a component pay system. I did a video break down of component pay you should check out
@TayTheLocalTrucker I just found you. I've been driving 10 years otr..I've done $Gen for a year so I'm fine with unloading. I'm just trying to figure out the hours. I think one type of driver stays local and home daily the there's I think it's logistics driver that goes otr 5 days. I don't want to go through all the headache of applying getting hired road test just to find out 2am start. I don't mind waking up at delivery I just don't want to pick up from yard ar 3am.
@t.hodgesiii3982 ohhhh I’m tracking now. You’re right there logistic drivers (I think that’s what they are called) I’ve seen them in deeper with 53 foot trailers. Is that what you’re looking for or you want delivery. I’m afraid I don’t know much about the logistics pay
@TayTheLocalTrucker i would like to do delivery local. but it says online that 2am possible start time. If I'm going to get up 2am, I might as well be otr.
Got my CDL a couple weeks ago, do they hire right out of school? I hear nothing but bad things about doing food service but I just need the experience and I’m willing to do the work. Is it as bad as everyone says?
Check with the HR department with the division you’re applying to, they may hire out of school. At one point USF did in my area but that went away. Sysco may also still hire new graduates. It’s not as bad as everyone says, most people don’t like the physical work when most drivers just bump docks all day
@@TayTheLocalTrucker I’ll definitely give them a call, I plan on putting in an application this week. But glad to know it’s not TERRIBLE. I do similar work rn just in a box truck. Ready to start my trucking career for sure🙏🏾 appreciate the response!

Good luck with that,Unless you own a dozen trucks and know how to run the business you will be filing Chapter 11 before a yr is up..To many cut throat companies that will take a loss on a load just to get them to the next paying load
@Conservativemind929 Speak on it now!!! I have no intentions of ever owning a truck. I can deal with being a company man until retirement although I know things can change
@@TayTheLocalTrucker unless they have few trucks they may only net a 120k if that! Food service drivers are making more than some owner ops, especially at Mclane and Sysco. Some people just be yapping 😂
Yo I just watched a video you said starting out at 22$ an hour but you said your at 6 figures working 60-55hrs a week can you explain this to me? Also how much is Healthcare a week for the whole family? I've been driving for 3 years and just put in an app to sysco
A few things will play into you making six figures as well as the health benefits. I’ll start with the benefits, we went union almost two years ago so our benefits package is really good. I pay around $80 a week for the entire family with medical, dental, and vision. Now with the six figures portion. Our hourly rate for my division is $20.41 but we are only paid that for delay pay or doing more after our load is done like going to get drug tested for example. We are paid on a component base and if you work 5 days a week the minimum you will gross is $1500.00 a week. Almost every driver make much more than that. On average I gross a couple more hundred than that. That is what got me to six figures. Also we get holiday pay for 6 holidays throughout the year as well, and if you do extra work such as work on a Saturday to complete a route that wasn’t completed, you can get paid your average hourly rate which can range from $40 on up. There are different factors that goes into the pay. I know a guy who works for Sysco and makes six figures so it can happen there too. Best of luck to you on your journey and thanks for watching the video 🙏🏾🫡
@brent3970 it may take a while for me to respond especially when I’m working but I’ll do my best to always respond back my guy, I appreciate the comments and the interaction for sure. Stay blessed my guy 🙏🏾🫡
Weekly for me at USF and it’s very reasonable in your second year. Your first year it can be done if you can get a consistent set route within the first couple of weeks after training
@@TayTheLocalTrucker ohh yeah I see that, that’s wassup! But I meant to tag @Flower2836-d1q that said LTL pays 100k starting which by my experience isn’t true. I drive for XPO and only our top senior guys are making that
i saw like 4 videos from you i saw the one where its sysco and 2 other compnays at at the same stop and you said you go up stairs and sometimes the elevator breaks what stop is that where all 3 of you guys are at the same stop

Stop right after he said it is what it is . Can't listen too a grown man afraid too call things out for what they are but instead hide behind a punch line designed too make men passive and not stand up . Only too hide behind,it is what it is .
Be more specific or at least find understating behind the “so called cliche that makes men passive”. No job is perfect and with any job there is a lot of nonsense and crap that comes along with it, especially when you’re making 6 figures therefore it is what it is. It’s up to any person to accept the good the bad and the ugly when it comes to any career field in order to make a better life for them and their families.
Those drivers are getting short changed on pay bro, but I’m sure there are reasons why they are only getting $25/hour but that’s low in the food service industry. I wonder what accounts they service

I worked there for six years from the age of 25 to 31. The pay not worth the hard labor you will experience not alone supervisors there always down your back,about timing wanting you to do something totally impossible that they couldn’t do I eventually got my own truck life’s been so much less stressful not alone I don’t have any back problems or knee problems no more
Salute 🫡🙏🏾 to you my brother!! I’m glad you were able to get your own truck and be prosperous in the O/O world. I don’t know if that is something for me personally but I applaud anyone who can and has done it. Thanks for checking out the content💯
I worked at Cheney Brothers for closer to two years and Bro most stressful mental and physical pressure I’ve ever had in my whole life. I’ll never do food service again.
@kremlin876ix the PTSD from food service is joked about but it is a real thing. Hope you e landed on a more peaceful and lucrative lane in trucking bro. Thanks for tappin in
Some us foods have union but it all depends where u live at
@@AnthonyVelasco-s2f very true. We’re in the second year of our first contract so it’s a new thing for my division.
Nice video Bro. Let this sink in.
According to the US Census Bureau, the majority of Americans (54.98%) make $50,000 per year or less, while only 18% of individual Americans make $100,000 per year or more. This means that over 80% of Americans make less than $100,000 per year.
It's definitely worth it
Sinking….sinking….sinking….bro that’s FACTS and even when people read it they will still say it’s not worth it and/or it’s not enough. If you can keep majority of the $100,000 you’ll be winning. Appreciate your input and you checking out the video 🫡
@@TayTheLocalTrucker That's true. Either way being able to make that much is a blessing. Being that only 18 percent of the population makes that amount. Nice video keep them coming.
Enjoy your vids...takes me back to when i did foodservice...Money should buy us 2 things: Freedom of Time (Time Freedom) and Freedom of Opportunity...May I suggest the book The book "The Simple Path to Wealth" by JL Collins. It came out 2015 and can be found/heard on YT. And the podcast/YT channel ChooseFI (financial independence)...More power to you.
Will do 🫡
Thank you! I’m going to check that out ASAP
Just found your channel brother,I've been doing this for 25 years, I work for pfg foods,I love it..about to retire in 6 years..
Bro thanks for commenting and checking out the content!! I can only hope to be in the same position as you in my future. I love being here at US Foods. Something I wish I would’ve done earlier in life. 🫡💯
do pfg do pension or 401k?

@heem9082 How much are we talking?
Pfg does 401k and 15%stock discount purchase
I find it funny people call this hard labor, while it's not easy that's for sure; my previous job was tank cleaning on yachts. Crawling through 100 chambers of 3 ft by 3 ft sewage tanks for up to 8 hours at a time on your hands and knees, while breathing through a gas mask and carrying pressure washers and power tools with you. The food industry pays me 4x what that job was. It's all about perspective, if you've never been in some real hellholes you'd probably think this job is hard..

I started out in food delivery & let me tell you , once you start food delivery & stay in it for some years don’t quit because your body will fall apart unless you continue to workout. Food delivery is a physical lifestyle that your body adapts to like the military.
Agreed!👍
That aint no lie,I take off a week and feel every joint pop and crack in my body
@Conservativemind929 LOL tell me about it…even when you wake up weekend mornings you feel it
I did 7 months as a Driver for Coke and im now one month in at Us Foods out here in Phoenix and so far my paychecks make way more sense compared to Beverage. Appreciate your videos bro
Yessirrrrrr, your time at Coke I’m sure was beneficial to what you now do at US Foods and of course the pay is just better. I got a coworker who came from Coke and he says the exact same thing you said. Keep killing it bro. Appreciate you checking out the content 🫡🤦🏾♂️
How much did they start yout pay at
@@BigdogDog-rk8ci its component pay
I did a video on the component pay breakdown. It’ll give you more of a clearer picture of how our component pay is paid out.

😂😂 my guy I appreciate the support bro!!!
Aye bro appreciate the videos. I’m just starting my 3rd week at US food over here next door at one of the plants here in Atl. Compared to the year and a half at Pepsi. This is way better for me and my family yes the work is tough but i love to workout but nothing unbearable.
Excellent mindset bro! Everything with this job is all about mindset and approach and with the one you have I know you’re killing the game! Happy for you and family my guy, and thanks for checking out the videos…stay tuned 🙏🏾🫡
Im at pepsi now on my 3rd month, i just came for the experience then to move on. I like that US foods doesn’t have to merchandise the product. Just drop and go.
@JamesJohnson-oc4re Bro that’s one of the best parts about it!! We don’t put up anything at all. You may be kind to a customer and like put up a bag of onions or something but it’s never required. We have customers who would say oh my last driver use to put this up for me but even in that scenario, you’re not required to do so. Good luck to you bro
Honestly how is the transition? The merchandising / DG managers and finding credits that just explode everywhere in the trailer are driving me insane!! I actually like the physical work just can’t stand the check in process. Please let me know what you think and how it’s going?
@@Muricastuff Whats up bro . A little update. As far as the work is physical but i am good with it. The only issue is the route i have only pays less than 1k and I can’t go for that i have major responsibilities to pay every month. It’s to the point where they are offering me financial assistance SMH. I was a Pepsi for 2 years and got paid way more for a 4 day work week. So unfortunately my US Food location doesn’t pay overtime and it’s not a real 300 dollar minimum. The only way to make money here is to get 1200 cases a day and drive far out for miles. I was promised M-F schedule that didn’t happen. I got my Haz/Tank and Twic so I’ll be moving on to that field. Until that happens I’ll probably go to 7up in my area they are not as popular as the other beverages so it’s way easier
Just did my first day at Shamrock ☘️ The food service business is not what i expected, its definitely hard work! So much respect to anyone who does this!
Respect to you as well bro! 🫡 keep killing it out there and be safe
I’m glad you found what works for you
I really have. God has given me the best of both worlds when it comes to trucking. Great paying job with benefits and daily home time.
Much Respect Bruh Do Your Thing On Everything Bag Is Not Easy On Everything 💯%
Facts on that 💯…you got to earn your keep if you want to compete
22 yrs doing foodservice delivery (McLane). Definitely underpaid, but I wouldn't want to work anywhere else. The key is to know your limits and work smart thats how you last a long time in this business. I don't work weekends either, and the benefits are very good.
22 years!! Salute to you bro. I hope to make it that long but you’re right…know your limits Mr. Wayne (sorry I’m a Batman guy 😂). Nothing like the weekends off, I never want to give that flexibility up! Stay safe bro
Scabs of the food industry… Become UNION fools.

The 1st victory is in the mind. Great to see a driver getting it done!
The mindset is what will propel you through a job like this
@@TayTheLocalTrucker
That's what my trainer told me. This job is 90% mental. I took that to heart and I'm still here years later, unloading trailers on the daily.
Well said. Every word worth hearing!
🫡🙏🏾💯…appreciate you big dawg
Exactly , it’s about total package and the lifestyle of said driver ! I.e. money, hometime,schedule, benefits so on an so forth .
Exactly!!! What is a “worth it” to anyone will depend solely on how their life is setup and how they want it to be.
Did almost 8 years with US Foods in KC/Topeka KS. I DO understand it’s WORK! Hats off to ya bud. At McDonalds now and yes, the foodservice industry is no joke…. It’s crazy. 👍👍
Yeah bro it is work for sure. I do love it especially in comparison to what I use to do. Appreciate you tapping in bro 🫡
Hey what's the normal start time? Weekends off? I have been a order picker for years, time to get in the truck!
How is McDonald's compared to US Foods tho? Pay/benefits? You get 2days off a week?
@DougReid-ue6er What’s up brother…start times vary depending on your route. You could start as early as 11PM or as late as 5:30AM. The division I work for has weekends off but it depends on which division you’re with. Good luck to you
Lol@@DougReid-ue6er
In my opinion I think it’s very rare to find otr drivers making more then foodservice guys especially considering a lot of us get free medical and good retirement.
I would have to agree. I haven’t met one yet that makes more or has a better set of benefits
Damn the extra money Food service is not worth it and I done both. When it rains and cold out side shii sucks 😂. Along with those small freezers in certain places sucks
When I first graduated from CDL school I got recruited by a food company. When they told me I might have to unload 800 to 1100 boxes I said I'll pass. I didn't get into this business to do hard labor I'm lazy I need no touch freight 😅😅😅
Appreciate your honesty G, a lot of guys say that after the fact
Yeah and barely make 55 a year. I’ve done regional (money was horrible), flatbed (1,200 a week), and now I’m about to enter the food service industry ($35 a hour). Food service and oil transportation are the only two industries paying 100+k a year. Both jobs you’re working! Want to make that money? Hard work is warranted.
Exactly bro, same here im a dry van drop and hook and sometimes I bitch because i have to put 2 straps on my load! lol seriously
I hate sitting for hours and hours everyday all day. Both gigs have their pros and cons
salute, being a truck driver is not easy!!!!!
🫡🫡 speak on it now lol!!
Ltl is definitely easier than food service
Of course, don't make as much money. But I'm not breaking my back every day, not stressed out.
Breaking down an entire pallet at every stop, making multiple trips with the dolly, scanning cases, etc......
I love my job as a pick up and delivery driver!

Just got hired for Sysco gonna be driving class B trucks but this video gives a good insight I appreciate it!
💯…best of luck to you on your journey at Sysco. Get those class As as soon as you’re ready
@@TayTheLocalTruckeryes sir. I actually have a class A but they required a year for that position so they offered me the class B in the meantime until after 6 months I’ll be able to drive those trailers🙌
Ain't nothing like seeing only your handcart and curb ramp in the end of the trailer. I got my first trucking job with McLane. I had a few solo routes but was thankful for my partners. Went to USF and I didn't like going to the restaurants alone doing key drops. I guess because I'm a woman and it be people sleeping outside the doors people walking up like naw. I start carrying my buddy with me🔫 I had a guy try to run up on me one night. I had to get out of there. I went to Coke after that i liked it better because I just dropped the pallets or sometimes unstack them in a certain area. I liked all of them but yes it does get to your back😅 it's truly a workout. One i kinda miss cause i didn't have to go to the gym lol. I thank God for being an O/O now. I do local work home everyday and i can choose if I and cross state lines but I don't have to. 🙌🏾
God Bless you and your family BRO.
Also the UFS I use to work for didn't have union that's a Blessing yours do.
Sounds like you really went out there and got experience in all of it! Congratulations on becoming an O/O and best of luck to you on your journey. Stay safe out there
@TayTheLocalTrucker yes sir. I did. I don't regret a bit of it. It was fun. But very tiring. Thank you and God Bless you and your beautiful family. 💪🏾🙏🏽
Same to you! 🙌🏾
Sometimes looking at product can be overwhelming with the amount of cases you are required to unload. Having your own route you get quicker because you will know the best times to do all your stop. You will know where all your customers are located and especially know where things go. You will know which stop to do first and can even switch things around. If i remember U.S foods at least at my location didnt use the side door on the trailers. Sysco uses there side door. Unfortunately no job anymore pays what the job requires. But it all depends on your life style. Being smart and not over spending.
Keeping it real man I like that
🫡 appreciate it G
I'm with NDCP (Dunkin) and it's great pay and the easiest in the food industry. I used to work for Sysco. This is the best decision I ever made.
It’s you versus the cases 💪🏽
💯 % my guy!!! It’s the same battle everyday…you decide who wins
Whats going on man? Had some issues with my channel and had to make a new one. Im actually out in NC right now visiting the family. Thats about how all my loads looked before i left on family leave 😂 our warehouse has been slacking the last month or so.
What’s up bro! I’m just now getting back on my channel, had to step away for a couple of week. You know how the warehouse does 🤣
@@TayTheLocalTrucker i like to think of the warehouse as a 3rd party. They definitely not on our team.
@TouchFreightTrucker 🤣🤣
Im use to dealing with boxes i throw that shi around in the warehouse!! That look like light loads to me!! BEAST MODE EVERY LOAD!!!
LETS GO!!!!!
Food service has it pros, if are looking to make some money and gain some experience driving, Food Service can benefit you. I say get all you can get out of it( save for a down payment for a home, get out of debt) and move on... after taxes and benefits taken out I was taking home $1,750 a week(take home) you can tell me thats not good money, they are guys who make way more than that...the benefits are good...food service is all mental
I worked in restaurant management for 12 years, holding every position from sushi house dishwasher all the way to general manager of a steakhouse. All the delivery drivers either complained about the job or complained about their knees and back. I would never, unless i had to. I now drive otr flatbed, making well over 6 figures. Yes we have to secure and tarp, but at best its a couple hours of work in the elements.
Now that’s outstanding, to make that kind of money for a couple of hours of physical work, awesome my guy. OTR just isn’t feasible for me and my family right now. Thanks for checking out the channel 🫡
@TayTheLocalTrucker much respect 🙏 i dont know if the puplic understands the toll food delivery takes on drivers' physical health. Stay healthy my friend
@matprisock 🫡🫡
Been doing local delivery for 11 yrs same company before that i was OTR for 8 yr and I make six figures but I work 50 up to 60 hours a weeks seven to eight months out of the year the other four months 40 to 50 hours a week..Usually have between 800 and 1300 cases all mixed and have to separate the freight thats stacked on pallets before taking it into the stores usually around 12 to 17 stops and 200 to 380 miles of driving..Is it worth it,well I own a home,five cars and go on vacation three times a year and always have what i need and some of what i want..So imo yes its worth it if you have the testicular fortitude,drive and ya dont call in and ya dont have a problem working the hours or need off for family time in my case iv always worked long hours so i had kids that understood that i might make it for birthday parties,ball games etc and might not..But that time always got made up..
Salute 🫡 to you my brother, you’ve definitely put in the time and built the life you wanted and can reflect on and enjoy with your family. That’s what it’s all about and what I’m working for. Appreciate you tapping in brother
I worked at us foods in 2022 made about 7k a month after taxes only worked 4 days a week
Only reason I left was because of the crazy schedule never had a set schedule but that’s when my kids were smaller, definitely thinking about going back
Come on back my brother, there is still plenty work out here for those who are able to get on!
I wouldn't mind it. Coming from delivering dollar tree merchandise. But I will hate scanning every box🤦♂️
😂😂 most guys hate scanning 😆
Money is good till you fall off one of those delivery ramps with those boxes of Andre the giant whole Chickens!!!
Lol come on now boss don’t jinx me before o get good and started with my career 😂😂…appreciate you tuning in bro!

Especially those blocks of cheese, one of my co workers years ago broke his ankle
Loaded to the gills in a 48' trailer? Gotttt Damnnn
Wooooohhhoooooo 😂 some days the warehouse don’t play. Then you get inside and get busy and be like I know I don’t work in the warehouse but damn this could’ve been done differently 😂
12 yrs in LA Mirada, takes a toll on your knees. Money is great especially because of lack of drivers the company is giving us an additional $250 for working on our day off.
Is that an additional amount on top of the route pay? Are you hourly or component. That’s terrible to be that understaffed!
@@TayTheLocalTrucker yes ! Additional to the regular hourly pay usually offered on Mondays and Saturdays because it's difficult to get drivers on those days. Initially the company was mandating us to work without the extra pay but since we fought back the company offered the bonus pay.
@mexican-americanpatriot721 Damn good fight that’s for sure!
short stocky dudes always do well in food service!!!!!
LOL appreciate you my guy 💪🏽
😂😂,fr
Did it for 3years after taxes 1200 or 1300 on a 2300 gross check 1 to 2am dispatch i.e meaning work call to end around 3pm maybe 5 pm not worth your body for the labor your gross with be around 2300 but once taxes and benefits hit 401k your be around 1200 maybe 1300 that a heavy route 1200 case you will have a long day 13hr just below FMCSA hrs everyday believe that no bull easy day 300 case or a back haul which
is 270 not minus the taxes take out. So a 40hr work with gross 1200 take home 900 to 850 if I’m lying try it the turn around rates on these jobs are at 81 percent also let me clarify 2300 my mistake is around it be around 1400 to maybe 1500 my apologies but that’s off a 70 hrs work week because you are local not over the road so you fall in a time clock not ELD
We utilize an ELD here at US Foods, local yes but my division isn’t hourly. We still follow the FMCSA guidelines when it comes to to the duty clock
@@TayTheLocalTrucker not talking about the hourly I’m talking about pay which is not equivalent to work you do there you get paid hourly which is chump change and by case which don’t add up how you running a truck that’s making 20 to 40 k a day and only seeing 200 to 300 dollars I got it fuel and maintenance but they got their own fuel terminal there and working 13 to 14 hours and not being paid not knocking what you like is for you FMCSA don’t have nothing to do with pay you title is pay that’s why you on TH-cam to make extra paid from our views and comments
@@bobbyblue1865 I can only hope to get monetized on TH-cam one day and thanks to you guys I’m definitely on my way so I definitely appreciate it! And to some extent you are right when it comes to hourly vs the component pay aspect, but that’s assuming companies will pay a really good hourly wage. $30/hour for 60 hours a week is grossing $1800 and most of these local companies in food service to be specific are t going over $30-$32 hourly (although I’m sure in other areas of the country it’s probably more based on living standards). I gross more than that working less hours on my component pay. All in all you’re still right because whether it’s hourly or component, companies are still getting over on what they’re paying drivers.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker I respect you man a lot people not built for that line of work the turn around rate is ridiculous 85 percent so too work there and deal with bs with trailer late start and definitely the restaurant employees and fast food employees that talk to you crazy and management you have to have tough skin. Appreciate your content
@bobbyblue1865 Salute to you my brother. It’s a tough gig for sure but what it does for me and my family, it’s worth enduring…at least until I find something else 😂🫡
Applied to swift today the goal is to become local food delivery after I get my experience and all goes well. Currently doing HVAC tired of them attics in the summer need a career change 🤞🏽
If you have bills, YES it’s worth it💯

I did this job for along time. The money isnt worth the wear and tear on your body. You can stretch relax go to the chiropractor eat healthy and eat right job ages you fast. Now i deliver propane and cylinders physical but a whole hell of lot easier just one product. I dont miss the constant digging for stops and the idiotic supervisors that dont appreciate the drivers and dont understand what it takes to unload one of these. Also hes right cant get overwhelmed with 1100 cases and 9 stops. I would rather have more cases and less stops. Then more stops like 14 with maybe 500 peaces or cases. Somestimes more driving burns up your hours of service. Main thing is keep moving and be consistent. I was never fast nor was i slow. You will make alot of money but its not easy money you earn every penny.
You can make good money with a highschool education in the trucking industry. Been doing ltl for 10 years now. Not quite 6 figs but high 5's. Its a good gig. But not for everyone.
Speak on it bro!! Appreciate your insight on LTL real quick. Most drivers who comment on it say there isn’t much money in it. But you’re definitely right, it’s not for everyone
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Thank you 🙏 for sharing and I just scribed
I appreciate your support! Thank you 🫡
PFG Driver here. It's definitely not worth it, you can make about the same running LTL within a decent company.
All that money just to need a knee replacement down the road....
As a USF driver, sometimes feel like I'm not cut out for this lol Definitely worth it though
Keep up the good hustle
No no no my guy you’re definitely cut out for it I will say it’s not for everyone but it’s a mind thing. Unless you’re just not physically capable to do it, I assure you that you can. If you’ve completed one route, you can complete any route. Keep going!! Thanks for checking out the content 🫡🙏🏾
lol worked at a Beverage company for year.. I’ll never do it again.
Why do you say that 😂
Bro you need to come to Old dominion we make 120k a year and we don’t do any physical labor like the food service
What’s the route structure bro? OTR, regional, or local?
Over the road
@BigdogDog-rk8ci not my cup of tea yet
@@TayTheLocalTrucker home everyday
Thanks for sharing appreciate you
I may be joining US foods for the long-term I'm 52 years young been driving and then the industry since 1992
For me I would enjoy the workout I know it's not an easy job especially coming into the food service once again at a later age and later stage in my life but the consistency is there local coming home everyday whether it's a shorter day or longer day I'm still coming home at the end of that day and having an opportunity to have a 5-day work week even maybe a 6-day work week here and there I still come home at the end of the day and that would still leave me either 2 days off or one day off during the week versus OTR as mentioned consistently gone sacrificing something that's what they call the money bag yet your family at home I'm sure for those OTR guys the family loved ones significant other would prefer that you're close by and you're the hedge and the covering versus being gone all the time
Previously I worked at Core Mark and Sysco foods Just within the last year and a half two years ago really not too bad
Thanks for sharing have an awesome blessed day to all 🙏🏾♥️
What’s up my guy, thanks for tuning into the channel, I really appreciate it. It’s a great thing you’ve got experience in food service so it won’t take long for your body to get acclimated again to the work load. I agree with everything you said, which is why OTR just isn’t for me, especially at this stage of my life and my children’s lives. Consistency and home time is important.

100k is decent, you can really do somethings with that if you maneuver correctly.
12 years with Sysco. That was a lifetime ago.
Do you miss it? Or atleast missed it in the beginning
Sucks bc I had two different interviews one w Sysco and one with Mcclane neither will hire me bc of no experience really sucks bc I like the physical aspect of it guess I’ll have to wait it out and reapply
I’m sorry to hear that. Definitely keep checking their sites and reapply when ready. Have you considered doing beverage delivery?
@@TayTheLocalTrucker yeah I had an interview with PepsiCo and they declined me too but I feel it was bc of my skin color and being a woman that’s how I feel with a lot of the food service sucks bc I am a hard worker and I don’t just want to be sitting down driving soon as the Mcclane hiring manager seen me he said they wasn’t hiring new drivers and that he already had two new people being trained and he couldn’t train no more than two at a time out on the yard and I’m just like but yall seen that I was a new grad so why waste my time having me come there like yall could of told me that on the phone or just declined my application like let’s get fr ima try US foods I just don’t know how to get ahold of them my application says under review but i havent heard anything
@MileysDollHause Yeah it’s unfortunate that these companies are turning you down. We’re really transitioning out of the slow season in food service but the market has become extremely competitive with it being flooded with drivers who were either let go or came off the road because they want to be local or their previous company shut down. Don’t give up though, stay diligent and persistent. Drop an app for every company you come across. Check even the smaller name ones in your area, just to get your foot in the door and get your experience up. The same companies who turned you down will be begging for a new driver soon enough. Look into beer companies as well
@@TayTheLocalTrucker what’s some good beer companies and are you able to talk to somebody see if they can give me a call 😂 I’m desperate honestly and appreciate the positive feedback def needed to hear that bc I’m getting discouraged stay blessed
Unfortunately there isn’t anyone I could talk to. What area are you in? It’s best to search for beverage opportunities in your area because there are companies that aren’t big names like Coke or Pepsi. As far as US Foods, try calling the HR department for the division you applied to and see if they can give you some details on your app. Best of luck to you on your journey, I’m positive you’ll find an opportunity soon. Stay blessed
Does US foods give you a pension? Do you have a wage scale for your hourly pay? What is the work schedule? Thanks for what you do sir
We get a 401K with an employer match. For my division we are all on a component pay. My work schedule is Monday thru Friday
Find one good stock buy it sell it every time goes up 18 percent and rebuy on dips.
What are your suggestions?
I looked at the back of your truck and said this must be US foods because that’s how my load be looking lol.
You called it🤣
Good afternoon sir, I've a question for you. Does each store have it own pallets? I mean do they mix pallets? I remember when was working with mclane Food Service with mix stores on pallets and you'll have to dig to look for another store product.
No sir, we definitely have to dig for the product. The only stops that are palletized are the pallet drops. You may get lucky from time to time and have a stop where a section is on a pallet by itself but it doesn’t happen often. We dig
@TayTheLocalTrucker thanks brother for quick response. God bless you richly and stay safe
It is NOT for everyone. I gave it a go at Pepsi at 41. It was not for me. In my twenties maybe.
Very true! It’s real hard for someone in their 40s on up to do a job of that caliber because the body just isn’t acclimated to that kind of work.
I worked at Sysco all of 6 months 😂😂. The physical part was nothing for me I used to be a selector and have done physical work all my life.
My problem was the trucks not loaded correctly, trucks loaded late, selectors not stacking and zoning properly and the routing was off sometimes. They made the job 10x more difficult than it needed to be.
Life of us food service drivers right! It’s easy fixes that could implemented but no one likes to listen to the driver…they just want us to get it off the trailer
@@TayTheLocalTrucker exactly !
I’m looking to start my trucking in food service? Any tips on how to finish my route on time?
When you first start out, don’t spend so much time trying to get your truck and trailer in that “perfect” spot in order to work. Just park, hop out, set the cones and get to it. Also, don’t get flustered or overwhelmed with the load, just keep moving and the cases will come off. Give yourself some grace but stay constantly moving those cases, repetition will build speed
What do the checks look like weekly or bi-weekly
We are paid weekly. Grossing $1800 on up
Good content bro🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it bro 🫡
They make you load your own truck too? I was an intern at Shamrock and they at least had loaders to do it.
No sir, we have a DC that has employees load our trailers. We just have to unload it by making deliveries.
Yuh worked for Pepsi for few months.. you work 5 days a week 10-14 hour days non stop labor. Yeah u making bank but at what cost? Working 60 hours with no home life and your body is cooked
Question bro, im deciding between KAG fuel hauling and US Foods. I dont mind the labor work but for the most part, can u get 65-70 hrs a week working for US Foods? Cz if i cant get 65-70 hrs a week then ill choose KAG. Kag is 36$ per hr and 12 hr shifts. US foods is 33.36 per hr but medical, dental and vision is covered. Thanks bro.
What’s up bro. When it comes to hours at US Foods it will truly depend on the situation you walk into. Majority of new drivers spend a day or two out of the week on the extra board so you won’t get those hours starting off especially if the division you get hired for operates based off of seniority. If KAG can get you those hours starting out then I would say to most definitely pick them.
I think if you get payed well is worth it
Touch freight pays more than just drop n hooks
Exactly bro! It’s worth it with a mindset like that but most drivers want the cushy job then complain about not making enough
What’s the difference between class A delivery driver vs delivery driver I seen it on us foods website
I believe the difference is the vehicle you drive. US Foods has a position for drivers to deliver via using a van or straight truck that doesn’t require a Class A
Not necessarily, LTL linehaul can be 6 figures drop and hook. I did a 10.5 hour run 480 miles 240 each way and grossed 440$ just pulled 2 sets of doubles
@HeyArnoldGotAFootballHead You make a good point. Get into the right situation and the sky can be the limit.
Nothing but facts bro 👍🏽 new sub here! Been in foodservice for 5 years n I love it like you it works for me too so I dnt mind the physical part of it 💯🦾
When you find something that works for you and fits your family and of course has great pay and benefits then why not right 🤷🏾♂️🫡🙏🏾
@@TayTheLocalTrucker more pros than cons 👍🏽 I’m in 😂🦾
I got an interview in 2 days wit US foods…any tips? also do they have manual transmissions there?
How many days out do logistic drivers stay out?
What do the hours look like?
Besides hrly pay do you get extra $ per stop etc..?
I am home every night and don’t work weekends. I work on average 52-56 hours a week. I am on a component pay system. I did a video break down of component pay you should check out
@TayTheLocalTrucker I just found you. I've been driving 10 years otr..I've done $Gen for a year so I'm fine with unloading. I'm just trying to figure out the hours. I think one type of driver stays local and home daily the there's I think it's logistics driver that goes otr 5 days. I don't want to go through all the headache of applying getting hired road test just to find out 2am start. I don't mind waking up at delivery I just don't want to pick up from yard ar 3am.
@t.hodgesiii3982 ohhhh I’m tracking now. You’re right there logistic drivers (I think that’s what they are called) I’ve seen them in deeper with 53 foot trailers. Is that what you’re looking for or you want delivery. I’m afraid I don’t know much about the logistics pay
@TayTheLocalTrucker i would like to do delivery local. but it says online that 2am possible start time. If I'm going to get up 2am, I might as well be otr.
It is possible but there aren’t a lot of routes that start at 2. For our yard, a huge percentage of them start at 4AM
Got my CDL a couple weeks ago, do they hire right out of school? I hear nothing but bad things about doing food service but I just need the experience and I’m willing to do the work. Is it as bad as everyone says?
Check with the HR department with the division you’re applying to, they may hire out of school. At one point USF did in my area but that went away. Sysco may also still hire new graduates. It’s not as bad as everyone says, most people don’t like the physical work when most drivers just bump docks all day
@@TayTheLocalTrucker I’ll definitely give them a call, I plan on putting in an application this week. But glad to know it’s not TERRIBLE. I do similar work rn just in a box truck. Ready to start my trucking career for sure🙏🏾 appreciate the response!
@koda6092 🫡 brother, you got this!
I'm looking to invest as a chef , what are the many position of food from land to plate?
Any Agriculture and food science majors ?🙋🙋🏽♂️
Augusta Esscofier Grads?
Any ivy League chefs?
Sysco and us foods are the top of my list!
What's a day in life of a millionaire chef?
I fail my road test at Sysco and decline us foods interview 😂 now I’m forced to buy me a truck and make more money without killing my body.
@@georgipress 🤣🤣, going to buy a truck huh, best of luck to you for sure! Keep the wheels turning
Good luck with that,Unless you own a dozen trucks and know how to run the business you will be filing Chapter 11 before a yr is up..To many cut throat companies that will take a loss on a load just to get them to the next paying load
@Conservativemind929 Speak on it now!!! I have no intentions of ever owning a truck. I can deal with being a company man until retirement although I know things can change
@@TayTheLocalTrucker unless they have few trucks they may only net a 120k if that! Food service drivers are making more than some owner ops, especially at Mclane and Sysco. Some people just be yapping 😂
Wow it must have taken your employer years to come up with a delivery system as in efficient as that.
I think you’re right…it’s way too efficient for it to be thrown together in a matter of hours
Yo I just watched a video you said starting out at 22$ an hour but you said your at 6 figures working 60-55hrs a week can you explain this to me? Also how much is Healthcare a week for the whole family? I've been driving for 3 years and just put in an app to sysco
A few things will play into you making six figures as well as the health benefits. I’ll start with the benefits, we went union almost two years ago so our benefits package is really good. I pay around $80 a week for the entire family with medical, dental, and vision. Now with the six figures portion. Our hourly rate for my division is $20.41 but we are only paid that for delay pay or doing more after our load is done like going to get drug tested for example. We are paid on a component base and if you work 5 days a week the minimum you will gross is $1500.00 a week. Almost every driver make much more than that. On average I gross a couple more hundred than that. That is what got me to six figures. Also we get holiday pay for 6 holidays throughout the year as well, and if you do extra work such as work on a Saturday to complete a route that wasn’t completed, you can get paid your average hourly rate which can range from $40 on up. There are different factors that goes into the pay. I know a guy who works for Sysco and makes six figures so it can happen there too. Best of luck to you on your journey and thanks for watching the video 🙏🏾🫡
@TayTheLocalTrucker hey man appreciate you responding being a big boss TH-cam.
@brent3970 it may take a while for me to respond especially when I’m working but I’ll do my best to always respond back my guy, I appreciate the comments and the interaction for sure. Stay blessed my guy 🙏🏾🫡
biweekly or weekly pay? 6 figures reasonable to make within the first year or 2
Weekly for me at USF and it’s very reasonable in your second year. Your first year it can be done if you can get a consistent set route within the first couple of weeks after training
LTL pays over 100k starting. Way less work than this lol
So I have heard! Which company do you work for?
What company is this? Because I work LTL and the only people making 100k+ are senior guys, working nights! 👀
@ray3300 US Foods my man
@@TayTheLocalTrucker ohh yeah I see that, that’s wassup! But I meant to tag @Flower2836-d1q that said LTL pays 100k starting which by my experience isn’t true. I drive for XPO and only our top senior guys are making that
@@Flower2836-d1q 👀
Until your back goes out...then you're good for no one
I can’t deny that that is a possibility with this job
I'll just lay there I'm still good 😁

Yo you still with the company? Im from one of the shuttle yards
Yessir!!!
@@TayTheLocalTrucker you in port orange?
I work off a drop yard for the Charlotte division
What all account does yall do? You around North Carolina
Yes I’m in NC. My division runs a lot of health care facilities and chain accounts.
How much is for family for health care ?
Depends on your company’s healthcare plan. For me and mine it is like $86/weekly
@@TayTheLocalTrucker is it low deductible plan ? I want to apply a job for US food . thanks
i saw like 4 videos from you i saw the one where its sysco and 2 other compnays at at the same stop and you said you go up stairs and sometimes the elevator breaks what stop is that where all 3 of you guys are at the same stop
i also saw the video where the karen calls the cops on you she sounds like a hot head women
now she should had just waited or she should had sent someone to do trafic
It’s is a restaurant located at Crabtree Mall in Raleigh and it sucks most days 😂
I actually got a ticket just this week for parking there thanks to someone calling the city on me again but oh well, there isn’t anywhere else to park with a 48ft trailer. The company will handle it
@@TayTheLocalTruckerthat’s my biggest fear I work for a company called bell nursery in Newark Delaware basically we deliver all the plants and flowers for Home Depot and most times the drop spot is right in front of the store in a fire lane hopefully I don’t get bopped and I wish they gave us 48ft trailers instead of 53 some of them Home Depot’s is crazy getting in and out😂😂😂
Trying to get in the door now at the palm beach location
US foods make pretty good money, you gonna work some hours though.
And that’s facts 💯
What’s some hours??
lol try offloading these trucks from Home Depot this isn’t nothing
What’s that process like bro?
I just got denied sysco and I have 4 years of driving. Job market is stupid right now. Doesn't make any sense
That’s crazy man. Did they give you a reason for the denial. I know it’s still the slow season for food service but it’s starting to pick up
@@TayTheLocalTrucker All they said was 'I'm sure you understand there a lot of applicants.' I haven't drove a truck 8 months which sucks but it's not like I'm brand new you know
@cbboiii1100 Facts. I understand what you’re saying. A lot of OTR guys coming local and grabbing up the openings. Just keep applying to any of the companies and locations that are around you bro, there will be someone to accept you, especially with your driving experience.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker No doubt bro. Keep pushing. Be safe out there
@cbboiii1100 You too bro!! 🙏🏾🫡💯
How long did this shift take u
12.5 hours smh 🤦🏾♂️
Aw hell naw
Stop right after he said it is what it is . Can't listen too a grown man afraid too call things out for what they are but instead hide behind a punch line designed too make men passive and not stand up . Only too hide behind,it is what it is .
Be more specific or at least find understating behind the “so called cliche that makes men passive”. No job is perfect and with any job there is a lot of nonsense and crap that comes along with it, especially when you’re making 6 figures therefore it is what it is. It’s up to any person to accept the good the bad and the ugly when it comes to any career field in order to make a better life for them and their families.
@@TayTheLocalTrucker go hide behind your punch line , " it is what it is " dude what is it ? U tell me
Does us foods hire sap drivers
Yeah I know someone who tested positive at Sysco and got hired at Us foods
I don't know any truck driver working for US Foods making 100k+.
At least where I live, the pay is about 25 dollars per hour.
Those drivers are getting short changed on pay bro, but I’m sure there are reasons why they are only getting $25/hour but that’s low in the food service industry. I wonder what accounts they service
Philadelphia area is high 100k
