Domino's Pizza

Food service is the hardest work I ever did. The ltl P&D guys have a way easier job than us. Working in my dads stone quarry was less intense that food service. Never saw a dominos rig on the road before. Just hope you don't get stuck with a 48. Even with a helper its nut busting work, if you just have a ramp and a 2 wheeler it sucks.

Lift gate and pallet jack, not where I worked. 1500-1600 cases is what our 48s took to cube out. I used to do a nyc wendy's run and I have a few scale tickets I paid the 10$ just to see what I weighed. a 1350 case truck was 81,700. never had any 1600 case trucks but we have runs that avg that much. Guess food service thinks weight laws are just suggestions

 

As long as your first 3 stops are before tbe coop, you will be legal by the time you cross a scale....

 

You would make a perfect transportation manager at a food service company, LOL

 

Hey now, i dont respond well to insults.

I wouldnt do well, hey upper mgnt. We need more trucks, why? You try doing this ####. I know i know ill clean out my desk....

 

If not, I'm sure there's a goat path that'll get you around the scale LOL

 

Domino's usually does use 48' trailers or straight trucks, that must be new with the straight trucks because I've never seen them, but I saw on there website they were looking for Class B CDL drivers they must use the straight trucks for local runs or routes closer to the distribution center.

 

I met a guy in Banning, CA, and he said that domino's drivers get paid depending on how much product they deliver to a store, and not exactly by the mile, or by the load. By the weight?

It seemed kind of shifty to me, especially since they're a last resort pizza, for me.

Is that a common practice? I've got a year or two until I sign on with a real company and stop being the farm's in-cab resident.

 

I currently work for Dominos in Florida. I've worked for a few other food companies and this is the most messed up one so far. Never know when I'll work. Was scheduled 2 routes this week. (Normally 2-3) So far one was cut due to low volume and the one I'm on Saturday is nit looking promising either. Schedule is never consistent down here. Most routes run between 16 and 31 hours. Depending on your partner that day it could be shorter for way longer. Some guys end up sleep in the truck between routes which may only be a couple hours. Here both driver work whether you are logged on duty or sleeper. They tell you to work legal but then tell tou otherwise without acutely saying it. Paid by mileage and weight. Stops between 10-20 per truck (we have only 10 here) Usually on the higher end.

Probably wouldn't recommend to anyone but I have heard its better at other locations (some offer additional pay)

I'll try to answer more if you'd like. As you can see this is my first post on here. I usually just lurk and learn but felt I had to say something on this.

 

I was stuck with a clown like that once for like a month. When we would change shifts, he'd stop by the side of the road, or some #### hole rest area, so I'd have to jump in the seat, drive for maybe half an hour to get a cup. Just a Dickinson wad.

 

My company paid by mile and case. Also we got a perfect truck bonus for no missed deliveries and an on time bonus and a 150 per diem wk. Big week would be around 1000-1025 take home. Not bad for training company (sign your life away for 2yrs they'll get you Licensed, I got mine from sage) I did nyc turn and burns, 2 drivers and illegal as all get out. 24-30hr runs 1400 cases with 8-9 stops. Most ppl don't know what real work is. Once did a 42hr turn....helps to have a partner you get along with. Me and the trainer worked real good together so he gave up training.
