What is a typical shift for a new driver getting hired into one of these local delivery carriers?
Day in the life of P & D driver? ODFL, US Foods, Sysco?

Can you describe your job duties and work?
-

How is the pay? Avg weekly gross?

Which carrier were you with? Too much work for too little pay?

Well, US Foods and Sysco vs the likes of Old Dominion is not really a fair comparison. They’re very different animals to work for.
A freight line will always beat food service IMHO. -
PD is realtively stressfree as long as you're in your normal route/area. You clock in grab your delivery receipts, gear, hook up, and go on about your day.
The hardest thing is probably doing a delivery or a pick up for a new acccount you never been to, but that's when I just call other drivers. It's also a pain in the ### when everyone wants to close early and needs you to pick all there #### up in a matter of an hour.
My terminal tries to average 2.8 deliveries an hour so roughly 22mins per delivery receipt. -

odfl i think compared to us foods and sysco is way better
if you do PaD u work monday-friday start time vary but no later then 10pm but mostly all start at 8am
i know there linehaul guys with a few years/top pay they easily make 100k a year easy
us foods and sysco never worked for them but i did work for golden state foods and a couple guys came from there and compared to sysco work/unloading they thought gsf way was a peace of cake
in my personal opinion do what you like to do
me personally just gonna save up a couple grand buy my own truck and be my own boss im tired of working for companies there all the same at the end of the day ur just a number to them !
