    I worked for a coors distributor for 4 years. Now I'm with us foods for the last 6 years and its the best decision I have ever made. I doubled my salary instantly and have made more each year since.

    yeah most guys around here go to US Foods or Sysco. Although the older I get the less appealing all this heavy lifting is looking, wished I would have started this career in my early twenties

    I went from US Foods to FedEx Freight linehaul because I couldn’t see the endgame busting my ### every day until retirement. I made the switch as soon as I could, so the temporary drop in pay wouldn’t sting as bad.

    LTL companies pay really well and have good benefits.
    Usually, terminal to terminal / drop & hook.
