Thinking about US Foods or Sysco

Our bottom shuttle guy is always on a route because we dont have enough relief drivers they just make the shuttle guys do turns and a half or double turns.

 

My place is union so no dedicated shuttle drivers. They go for bid like every other route. Have to have 30 yrs. minimum to get those spots on a weekly basis. We have five drop yards and the company wants to run the shuttles out of the yards instead of here. Always a big sticking point at contract time.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Does Sysco pay shuttle drivers by mile, hour or is there a set payment for each run?

 

Hourly at my place. Not as good money as two wheeling but lots easier on the body

 

Yeah I figured it would be much lower than route deliveries. That money would be good but I know my limitations as I approach 50.

 

Hey I’m on same situation you was back then when hit play to this thread, US Food work for you or did Sysco won the bid?. Located on the Midwest I’m looking something close to $1700+ gross weekly. Madison, Appleton Menomonee Falls all on WI are open options for me. Are my numbers realistic? Thanks in advance for the help.

 

PLEASE, DON'T.

 

Ya that's about right

 

Lol, I read your inputs for this topic and after that started thinking different, I admit, but I’m more than frustrated with current job, in order to make my weekly goal $1700+ I need be begging to the dispatchers in order to get miles, 6 days a week out to bring home 1750 gross, I have to recognize it’s all 100% not touch, bring the truck home no matter where I finish last load, but that is all I can highlight. I just want to work, not struggling to work. Before this job I did Dollar General and only quit because the same, first 3mos everthing was perfect on miles/stops then slowdown to the point where I found myself working for $800 net./week. I can sound mastered for the Almighty Dollar, but my current situation ask me for at least 1800 gross/week for the next 2 years, so I can absorb any slowdown that will arise, but no right now. Your experience has talked and I hear it, but I’m not sure if take care of my spine and explode from a heart attack while deal with hourly-paid-weekly-fixed-salary dispatchers or try my luck and resistance but seeing my daughter every day while keep knocking down my family goals with the income more steady. Thanks for your time and patience, still thinking on options with less tolls
