US Foods driver shortage?

From my experience we take every warm body we can get regardless of anything as long as you have a license.

I learned how to drive a truck at Sysco (I had my license but I didn't know how to drive). I wouldn't reccomend that at all though.

 

Food service has got to be rough for a brand new driver. Not the physical part but getting that truck into small restaurants. I know I would have a hard time even with almost 6 years of driving because all I do is bump docks at the hubs I run to. I look like a new Swift driver when I occasionally hostile in the yard plugging vans and containers into doors lol.

 

Your chances of having an accident are very high. The hiring people don't make the rules. The safety department and insurance people dictate the hiring requirements. Get some experience and this industry is yours for the taking.

 

Whenever I wonder if maybe I should go back to foodservice, I will visit this thread for my required dose of Nope.

 

Off of how many hrs?

 

Close to 70 because the taxes on that kind of takehome is high; the gross is 4500+ for that for me.

If I gross around 4k and get the majority of 60 or so hours on a double/triple time day then the takehome will be in the 2500-2800 range.

I think if you get 80+ hours and take your time on the saturday you could get up to 5000 gross or more but I don't want to be at work that much.

 

And you work in foodservice right?

 

Yes I'm at USF now. This has been going on all summer

For regular times you can half these numbers (which is still good)
