I'm new to this forum thing but thought I'd give it a shot. I'm making a job change hopefully for the last time and im stuck between usf holland and sysco I live in mobile alabama area so I'd drive to Decatur to work for holland OTR or Pensacola to run shuttle for sysco heard both have great pay and bennies so I guess I'm hoping for more insight from current/former drivers. I've been around 15 years driving and clean mvr! Thanks for anything anybody can offer to help me decide!!
Usf holland or sysco??

Just looking at equipment I would go to Sysco. Plus I know Sysco night shuttle in SC tops out at $27 an hour.
Is the Sysco job daily or are you gone weekly? The pay I quoted was for a daily position in Columbia, SC. -
Mike2633 Thanks this.

Driving to and from Decatur will get old especially after a long day, just something to consider.

Not sure why he asked you about unloading cases. Shuttle position in Columbia was no touch. Shuttle does pull lots of doubles but they also have 53ft trailers too.
While Holland is part of Yellow, it isn't a union job. My local Holland terminal has some of the biggest pieces of crap I've seen in a long time. No way I'd be driving that.
Sysco on the other hand has great equipment.
Good luck -

Theres a 50 50 chance with sysco that you'll be throwing cases. When I got hired on the hr lady told me I would be working out of a drop yard next to my house. Wrong. Had to commute 65 miles to the main yard and a lot of times I had to commute as much as 100 miles one way to different drop yards to cover routes.
When asked about working out of the drop yard by my house I was told I had to bid on it. Even the terminal manager told me when I got hired I would work out of the drop yard by my house.
That being said sysco has a crap ton of money, state of the art facility at the main yard I worked out of.
Ironically the food service I currently work at starts drivers $6 an hr more than what sysco was payingMike2633 Thanks this. -
That's odd, I've spoken to the recruiter for USF Holland a few times and they told me straight up it wasn't a union position.
I would jump on Sysco if you get the chance. Starting pay in Columbia was right around $24 an hour -
@duckdiver
Just curious what company that is that starts $6 more per hour? So they start at $30hr? -
