    Really? Is that for all their barns? Almost seems like you would have to pay them that much considering the nature of their work when compared to regular LTL that just tailgates most of their freight.

    I don't know what Sysco is making but US Foods starts at like $24.xx an hour. And yeah, given the state of the economy and the ridiculous of housing costs here, they are always looking for people. It's all about the OT. Also local always pays less than OTR cuz people wanna be home.

    good for the Teamsters at Sysco.

    local tends to pay less. cuz everyone wants to be local
    yeah, it never works out in OTR (cuz traffic, breakdowns, weather, etc), but generally more supply.

    LIke rock haulers/can guys/etc (guys who work a regular schedule), yeah, they getta go home

    Yes, touch the freight you can make good money (or haul a bomb-gas). But just moving trucks around locally, pfffffffffftttttt

    that was my point. And areas like suburbs out of the major trucking hubs, even just 50 miles. 20 to 30% less.

    Rant of the day.
    I wish all landing gear would turn the same direction. Nothing like cranking for what feels like an hour only to find out you are going the wrong way.
     
    LtlAnonymous, jmz, MACK E-6 and 5 others Thank this.
