Food service vs soda delivery

Browns is a broad line company part of Uni Pro Co-Op like Northern Haserot or RDP Food Service (Italian Specialties) out of Columbus, Ohio.

Browns has fancy trailers with the cooler dividers and freezer bulk head. I've never seen there trucks even though they say they come up this way humm. It's broad line which means you'll be getting anyone that needs to buy general grocery out of the general stock pile.

 

I don't understand how you've been at Pepsi awhile and are only making mid 40's. I do that job, and no way in (you know what) I'd do that work for that. I've worked at 2 Pepsi plants and I guess it all depends on the area you're in, but we've never seen money like that. I'd say DEFINITELY go for the food service gig. Jump on it

 

Yeah, it's crazy how much it depends on area. Definitely jump on the food service gig. The Pepsi thing has run its course for you. Make sure you check out all your pension, 401k, vacation and personal days stuff. That can add up.

But definitely make the move when it's best for you. They're not paying enough for the amount of work you do

 

Broadline is fine it's what I do there's nothing wrong with it.
There system is fine every company is a little different in that regard, but one isn't any better or worse then the other. It all depends on the warehouse loader.

I don't know what there salary is or how they pay, at minimum though it's probably $10 grand a year better then what you are making now. My current job at GFS is 30K a year better then what I made at the beer company. Of course I'm single no kids never married and I live at home (at least for the next 6-9 months) and have no bills so 74K a year gets me pretty far. Although the moving out bug is starting to hit me hard it's getting to that stage in my life now ha-ha, just want to save up a little more cash.

 

Hold on as long as you can mike. Lol. You know what I've been making for years and it's a whole other world when you're making that with minimal bills and when you're making it with a TON of bills!! Lol.

Stay in your current situation as long as you can. You may never be able to save money again once you leave. This is a great time for you to possibly set yourself up for life. Don't leave too early.

 

The uni pro food distributer in my neck of the woods does ok they do most of the schools around here. I was talking to one of the guys and they said it was 20.20 starting out so sounds a lot better than slinging Pepsi all day.

 

Keep in mind, that depends on area. I agree with what you're saying for this particular situation. You're 100% right!! Just don't want guys to think its that way everywhere. These soda and food company jobs can vary GREATLY depending on your area. They're definitely worth doing some research if you're looking for work. In my area the Pepsi drivers start at $25.86 per hour with time and a half past 8/40.

Don't dismiss anything if you're a driver (new or old) looking for a job. The Internet is a big place and every area is different.
