    If you're in good shape and willing to handle freight, you can likely start out local with food or beverage delivery.

    Pepsi has a plant outside of Raleigh in Garner. Gravy job. Home every night. Plus you have Papa John and Dominos in Garner, and Smithfield dedicated in Clayton

    No problem buddy for the late response...now regarding ti your question, I have graduated 2 yrs ago from JCC, in fact I was going to suggest you that school...I don't agree that much with having a contract with someone for 1 year...best luck to you and be safe!
