P&D and food service hours

Just wanna hear it from drivers across company lines and different areas. Fair to say a P&D driver averages 12 hour days? What about food service?

 

I'm with Mclane Foodservice in Atlanta. I've also been with a few other foodservice companies over the years. 11 to 13 hours a day is about what to expect.

 

Are you nights or daylight?

 

1am-done
2am-done
3am-done that's how we do it at GFS. Usually we start late at night or very early in the morning and finish up by noon or 1pm.

Although* I've had some 4am-4pm days it's how it goes.

 

Yea the bid I'm on with us foods is a 4 day bid and I work 12-14 every day there are a few guys that work a 5 day route and only work 9-11 hrs normally

 

Hey @Buckeye91 - how many hours are our P&D guys getting these days? 10-11?
I was averaging 9 when I was in the city, but that was when we were fully staffed and I had a late start.

 

I didn't expect to hear from P&D till Monday when they're back on the clock parked somewhere. You food service drivers never stop so of course you're responding on your weekend.

 

Depends on your route and how many pieces, etc. Most of the time I did about 12 to 14 a day throwing about 1200 pieces. My trainer had a 600 piece route. He was in about 6 hours.

 

I'm new to the p&d club, but usually it's 10 to 11 hours each day. Drivers at my hub that have been here for 10+ years get their panties twisted if they have to work more than 9 hours. Shrug
