    Same stuff different product. More running and stacking at the food service. But you get to drop product instead of working them to the shelf. How long you been working for Budweiser? Isn't it union and routes go by hired date? So the longer you been worker than the easier the routes are and easy money right?

    If you've been slinging cases of beer for 5 years , then you'll have no problems in food service. I retired in 2011 at age 62...did the food service thing for over 3 decades. retired cause they moved the facility from 45 minutes away to over 2 hours away...besides after all that time I was ready to start enjoying the fruits of my labor. You'll have no problems with the "work" ...where are you located , might be able to give you a direction to go in , or a couple of places to check-out.

    You say that, but after being told that 50 different times it gets a little frustrating. :(

    Depends on how bad they need drivers or not usually they want a year or 2 of experience but if needing drivers now will hire with less experience. Exit310 u should be able to handle it I'm sure it's similar work
