The Food Service Rant thread

I've got a 15 minute commute to my yard and our start times are early and earlier ha-ha! 5am is a late start for us. During the school year (that's when I get busy) on Tuesday I'm usually on the road at my first stop by 3:00am and I try to get to my second stop by 4:00am and out of there by 4:30am and to my third stop by 5:00am. Tuesday is my heaviest day pretty much during the school year Tues-Thursday I'm pulling out of the yard starting my day and the bar across the street from our yard is just closing and people are walking to there cars getting ready to call it a day. It's weird seeing that. Usually I'm like come on it's 2:00am time to get up and start the day LOL!

 

My Monday is my only 4 start time the rest my days are 5 am..... but I have less miles more cs then a lot of the higher seniority guys but I work 5 days when the majority of the routes or 4 day

 

Were all 5 day all the time fun in the sun. However we go up and down we have heavy days mostly a lot of our school days during the school year are heavy, but during the summer we get light and routes get cut so on and so fourth.

 

Work has been super busy lately. Money has been unreal. I'm on my way to gross over 110,000 but the downside is being a single person in ca it means I'll pay close to 40,000 in federal and state taxes.

Routes are crazy stuffed, I literally have to run every time a I get a a chance just to make it back on my 14

 

I was loaded to the back doors today 19,333lbs with 894 count. First two stops of the day took 7500lbs off. Any of you guys in the great lakes states stop into GFS marketplace stores we've got spare ribs for the fourth of July weekend. I was loaded down with 25 big cases of spareribs at 30-40 pounds a case for the fourth of July rib sale.

 

This morning I left out with 10 pallets and a weight of 10500. Majority of the weight was on three skids for one customer. Now that the day is over I can finally look forward to a Saturday and a Sunday off.

 

Last two days I have had over 800 cases but today I only had 5 stops and the first one took 600 cases and came off with a pallet jack..... good day for the end of the week

 

Yeah no kidding that's a good day. We were slammed with Ribs. Were have our own chain of grocery stores I had 25 cases the big 45-50 pound cases of ribs. I think there on sale or something.

 

What company are you with if you don't mind me asking?

 

Oh alright back in action tomorrow, just finished on Friday a 6 day in a row turn, by the time the last wheeler load rolled off the truck on Friday I was pretty much beat. I had, had my fill of traffic and all the other fun stuff we deal with. Actually the week wasn't bad as a whole, but I was done.

Got home from work kind of late on Friday 4:00pm by the time I got home and did all my house work it was time for diner usually people are like cool Friday night time to party, well I guess that's not so much the case when you get older I did the opposite of that I order a couple pizza's up from this place I like:
Yes it was very good I liked it very much.
Anyhow then I sat in the cool air conditioning until I passed out about 11:30pm.
Saturday came and went pretty quick and Sunday today pretty much a blur I'm tired right now so I'm going to sleep and will start it up again tomorrow.
