    So each delivery is in a set location, could be a parking lot of Walmart or a wide spot on a quiet road. Could be 20 cases or could be 200 just depends on the customer. Using elog all legit.
    Usually first and last day or two of route is just driving. And deliveries aren't that far apart and don't take long to finish 5-30 minutes depending on size. On the days with more deliveries I don't log that many miles sometimes only 300 or less vs 600 plus without stops.

    Never logged anything when I was delivering beer unless I went over 12 hours or something because I wasn't driving very far, not sure how that worked.

    Oregon...wow....lots of decent jobs for you.
    We'll post a list for you.
    That regional running you've been doing is really going to help.

    That would be great, obviously I'm lacking knowledge in what I should be getting paid for the work that I do especially since I'm being paid salary not by stops or mileage or anything. I figured I'm making roughly 42 cpm after doing the math but don't get much for miles having the scheduled deliveries.

    I'd put Estes Express at the top of the list. This is a company where drivers stay.
    They're growing fast & need drivers. - Portland, OR

    Why not just apply to LTL companies?

    I've noticed Estes trucks on the road before but don't know anything about the company but will definitely look into that. And would definitely have to get back in shape for Sysco, almost applied for a job with them after the beer company but didn't know if wanted to get back in a truck... should have just went for it would have been a pretty simple transition if hired. Thank you.
