I was probably about your age when I quit doing food service .The general rule was always 40 years old but that’s not always the case.A lot of food service jobs isn’t the physical work it’s a lot of walking a hand truck up and down a trailer into the restaurant and doing it 5 to 10 stops a day.The biggest hurdle you will have is getting basically the worst route as a new hire or working the extra board.With time it’s a good job money wise and even time off.Back in the late 90s I was making 75,000 a year only working 3 days a week but every day I worked and opened that trailer door at my 1st stop I swore that was going to be my last day but I worked that job for 8 years and only quit because I moved.

 

Did the ad say you needed hazmat pilot also hires for def drivers where you don’t need a hazmat. IThe def drivers make the same hourly rate as the fuel drivers do but a Lott of areas def drivers aren’t home every day

See, here you have what most drivers would give their left peanut for, and still not happy? Hauling schluck was the best job I ever had, and tough to get into. It shows how misguided some may be, but to give up a great job like blacktop, for food service, well, let's just say, years ago, we'd have made that mistake, and regretted it and why this site is so valuable. I consider food service the bottom of the barrel, and blacktopping at the top. Salaries are the most BS, and I think you are doing just fine. I'm giving you a verbal slap on the head, be glad you have what you have.

 

You will know in a few weeks, if you are a good fit for foodservice.
