Beverage distribution

Hello guys i am looking at going into beverage distribution as my first cdl a job. I have experience stocking and unloading from retail and also fast food stocking meat and drink cases. Since i have plenty of experience in stocking and driving don't i stand a pretty good chance at getting the job. For the most part that looks like what beverage and food distribution is alot of stocking and some driving.

 

Its stocking and driving. With me having stocking knowledge, stocking experience, handcarts and also customer service experience i should be a good candidate

 

I also have a clean driving record and background. Im really hoping this works out

 

I wont actually be able to get hired until at least early October when i graduate. I'm pretty sure they're still busy that time of year with the playoffs, thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner

 

Here's my issue though local jobs around here take time, interviews, supervisors doing multiple jobs and so on. After school i don't exactly have time to wait for all of that. Plus heck if i go to the interview now and the position is filled by October im screwed out of a local job. Every other place around here requires me to have my cdl license before i even apply

 

Can't decide if i want to start with otr and just get the highway experience becase then i have options if the food/beverage jobs dont work out. Everyone has told me its best to start otr just for the experience if nothing else. That way i have that option later
