Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, UPS Freight, Saia.
They all have their internal politics and quirks, but your body won’t ever experience prolonged wear and tear like it will with food service, and depending on the outfit/location, you can make food service drivers’ checks look like chump change.
Is working for food delivery really that physically demanding

The worst part of the job by far is stairs. I ####ing hate stairs. You could be going up or down them, balancing hundreds of cases over dozens of trips, trying to keep your balance and not drop your dolly with each step.
As far as money, you’d better make more than $1000 take home unless you’re only working 4 days a week. When I was at US Foods, starting pay was $26.26/hr, OT after 10 hours and on your 5th/6th day if you worked extra days. But that stuff varies a lot by location. -

i see many DD (dunkin donuts) drivers, or Martin Bower drivers, and Cumberland Farms (convenience store company up here) and other food company drivers, that need a helper. if it was "laid back", then there would be no need for a driver's helperLonesome, jmz, FlaSwampRat and 1 other person Thank this. -
