Can anybody tell me if Mclane company is a good company to drive for.

i work for grocery, u will earn every cent. u will unload the whole 53ft 40,000 pounds of grocery with a hand cart down a ramp. we run teams, trip last around 20hrs with 20 to 23 stops. just got off a 26hr trip. how we do it is senior driver starts driving and 2nd driver will be in "sleeper" for 7 to 8hrs, and vice versal. Like bfl123 said it will show on your logs you in the sleeper but in reality u will be unloading with other driver. pay is great untill you do the math and see how much you are getting paid by the hour. like this 26hr run i just did i got pay $275, now divide it by 26hrs it equals $10.57hr. so is it worth it been up w no sleep for 26hrs unloading a 53ft trailer and all that city driving and trying 2 get a 53ft with sleeper inside a 7eleven parking lot? and theres no " ahh lets take a 1hr break we tired" nooo, i eat my sandwich in between stops, if u take a 30minute break you going to be late for your next delivery, hope that helps. the positive side is its a local job, u wont need a gym membership lol, great benefits... like Aireal said only store like walmart have dock, Walmart trips are for senior drivers since grocery its on pallets so all u have to do is use a pallet jack to unload @ walmart. as a new driver u wont see walmart that often, you going to be on extraboard and all loads senior drivers didnt bid on thats what u going to get, plus fill in for vacation/sick days

 

you work hard and long but make good money

 

I've been with McLane restaurant distribution for 21 years. I deliver to Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Arby's KFC et. I run solo with a day cab. I do one remote route per week.Company reimburses me for motels. I'm out 3 nights per week. It's been a good job but at 55 years of age my body is telling me it's time to do something else.
