Local Delivery much more then driving

Wow and I thought LTL was a head ache. Glad I never got Into food or beverage

 

LOL I hear that all the time.. Ive done food AND beverage and I love them both.. I don't have any desire to do anything else.. I must be a masochist or something..lol

 

Yeah, on some local delivery gigs the driving isn't the main difficulty. Had a courier gig that had a dedicated route for an electrical supply company. Picked up at their warehouse and did about 6-8 deliveries in the area. To the customer all they knew was I was delivering/driving for the electrical company, although I couldn't say I was from the electrical company. When you're delivering breaker boxes to a steel plant it doesn't make any difference if you're driving a flatbed or a cargo van like I was, gate guards and receiving treated you all the same. Chemical companies were the worst, had to certify and do a training video, get ID card wear flameproof/hard hat/safetly glasses to get into the plant.

Then in the afternoon different customer, delivering either beef or fish restaurants/hotels. If the order was wrong, the Chef/Manager didn't give a rats butt if you were a courier or not, you were taking it back to the warehouse. I HATED food deliveries, have all the respect in the world for those guys who do it day in and day out.

 

well we all have screws loose for doing this work. Guess it just depends on what screws that are loose on which type you like

 

oh, I don't know- I'm in the best shape of my life. Maybe I'm lucky, but beverage has been the best thing to ever happen to my body and physical conditioning.

 

and yet,budweiser wont hire me,even though I have my cdl and 9 years plus customer service.

 

From what I've heard Budweiser starts laying guys off right after New Years. Might just be hitting them at the wrong time?

 

maybe you are not a "Budweiser" man, maybe you a "coors lite" guy instead js never give up try another company gl
