What can a rookie in food service expect to make in their first year?

I work at US Foods Chicago we have new guys making just over $100000 a year, the overtime is there if you want it or not!

 

Son-in-law works for McLane, delivers to all 5 boroughs in NYC, all night work, has a company supplied helper, I think twice a year he can bid on another route, no lift gate, he made $100,000 in 2016.

 

Now THATS some decision changing crap right there!

 

That's trucking buddy. Putting 53 footers in places they aren't supposed to go. Wanna be local? Everyone wants to be local instead of OTR but it's hard work. Traffic, city streets, blind side backing, 16 on 10 off, weird hours. But hey, I love it. I'll take my wife in bed over that sleeper berth any day!

 

Maybe I should try to get a job there. McLane doesn't have liftgates.

 

Like i have posted in another reponseThe rancho Cucamonga,ca dc has liftgates. Thus was in 2011 job intervirw with them.

 

Yeah, I remember that. It's definitely an exception, though.

 

There's a few guys at my company that came from mclane in rancho cucuamonga ca, ill ask them if its liftgate or ramping next time I see them

 

That's not a food service dc. Same thing but different.
