Mclane Food services

I don't think they hire newbies,you need to call them and ask.

 

Right from the career section of thier website:

 

A good friend of mine drives for them. We got him the job after he did training one-on-one with a local guy. He runs teams out of the Danville DC, home 2-3 days a week. They service convenient stores and restaurants, after hours mostly. He makes real good money although all freight is driver/team unload and he made over $70k last year.

 

If that's the case then you'll be stuck in the yard for a year or two.I wouldn't hold my breath on that,I knew someone who did that and wine up putting 3 years and crappy pay just to get lay off after words.Don't know about this company but to me its just a waste of time,its either you want to be a truck driver or not,if you want to be a truck driver then hit the open road,once you got a 1-2 years exp you can easy find better companies to work for.

 

Back into 7-11 's in the middle of the night...Avoid drunks/homeless. Contact Iranian/Middle Eastern/"Spanish"/White trash manager. Set unloading rails out into store. Hand throw several hundred pieces of heavy freight.(Think bleach or gallons of water-lots of it) Be nice to said store manager, even though you cannot understand what the heck they are saying. Break down load in store and put where store manager says. Write credits, then reload any broken, returned merchandise, being careful not to stack in front of your next 3 stops. Pull out of said extremely tight 7-11/Circle K parking lot and on to the next where it is lather, rinse repeat. Pay by the mile, piece and stop..and only the young and healthy survive. Don't scrape a car, post or piss off the manager or your toast...Been there, done that for a very brief period of time for MClane/San Bernardino...Your not a driver, your a merchandiser..And learn to LOVE your hand truck..

 

I did it for Sygma for a brief period also. It hands down was the worst job I've ever had. Throwing freight all night and then driving at least 2 hours back to the terminal in the morning SUCKED.

Some guys seemed to like it but I hated it.

 

Had a buddy work there, he said the money was great. 70k plus a year plus he's was home all the time. Better than being OTR getting paid like crap when you first start out at one of these big companies cause that's what I did. Also you won't get no hometime as s noob. Good way to crack into trucking making good money and being home. It's a hand unload job but that's what your more paid for. You get used to it and it's better than packing on the lbs eating greasy truckstop food sitting on your ### all day! If you don't mind physical work and you want to be home I'd jump all over it. Your not gonna get paid the money like Mclane if you go OTR with another company being newbie I can guarantee that.

 

Foodservice is not for everyone. Neither is OTR, local, flatbedding, tanker, etc. To each his/her own.
