The Food Service Rant thread

Well, I did state that I was willing to relocate should I get hired there. That seems to be the main issue with getting a local job in a particular city you want to move to. You pretty much already have to live there.
Only thing I'm guessing that could work now is to do the finger crossing thing and move to a city without a job to establish an address. Or cozy up to and use a friends address that lives in the city when applying.

 

Alright everyone in the thick of it now. Got really lucky was able to start early. I'm pretty heavy today, but I caught a break right now so I'm taking it lol! Feels good to sit down. 389 cases off out of 900 something right now.

 

So how was everyone's day today?

I had 19,520 lbs. cube of 905 and 926 case count. I had a mortality rate of one. Salesman ordered wrong I had to take a case back other then that pitched a no hitter.

I was out on the road since 3am this morning I think I got back to the yard at 4pm or so I guess. Twelve-thirteen hours 16 stops.

It was a long day and now my throat is scratchy which isn't gooood.....

It was a long day restaurants and schools all day today and it was just long and when I got back to the yard I set air break and then gently rested my head on the steering wheel.

Now @Cardfan89 do you guys sell candy bars and stuff? I had a full whole sale case of Twix Candy Bars Heavy Heavy usually I don't deal with confections to much, but with schools and stuff you get candy and cans.

 

Dang loons woke me up this morning, so I thought I might as well fish.

 

Fishing is real popular here in Ohio down in the Cleveland Metro Parks tons of people fishing over there all the time almost all year round.

 

I was being a bit facetious. The sound of a loon over a glassy northern lake is something I will never tire of hearing. It still gives me the quivers, and makes me feel warm and fuzzy at the same time.

Nice largemouth was just a bonus.

 

Yes we sell candy not a whole lot... the most I ever took in was at a time share sales office I guess it was for the mini fridges in the condos. We don't do a whole lot of schools but my route is a lot of rest homes so I get my fair share of cans and frozen pies. Them blue hairs love pies.

 

US Foods doesn't do schools do they? Word is there not very profitable. GFS and Sysco seem to have the monopoly on schools around here.
However we also do our fair share of rest homes too and yeah if it comes in a can those blue hairs are all about it.

 

We have a few schools but the unipro distributer in this area has that market cornered.

 

I can't say I've ever seen Hasserot or US at any schools here in C-Town. Hasserot is part of UniPro. Same with RDP I've never seen them at a school, of course RDP is so small time compared to everyone else they almost don't count. Plus there main thing is Pizza and Italian specialties they do a good amount of pizza places, but there not the school type of biz. Plus there real small potatoes here in Cleveland probably only 4 trucks.
