I turned an 1100 case route yesterday in 12.5 hrs, making $300 doing the same job for a different company. It may be far fetched, but its true. The work is absolute hard work though, you deserve every penny you earn.
Baack Thanks this. -
now if they would just stop screwing with the trucking companies who deliver their product to them, but hten again, when they were Noble/Sysco they were no better

To be fair, a brand new startup will have teething problems but Sygma was a riot! A new manager was brought in on the exact day I left; heard things turned around and some order was created out of complete chaos.
I can't recall the name of the co. that lost the contract to Sygma at the moment but it shut its doors almost immediately once Sygma took over the Wendy's contract. A manager from that co. was used to initially startup the local operation; it was easy to see why his former employer lost the contract.
'Startup manager' brought along many of his former employees; I'll never forget the mayhem. Employees being arrested on the job for outstanding warrants and many so stoned they could barely stand up at times. As you can guess, many of these people were hired and retained for the wrong reasons despite qualifications and/or lack thereof.
I started prior to day one and left about 8 weeks later. We easily had at least a 200% turnover within that brief time frame. Most memorable was my 'trainer' who had been brought over from the previous, now defunct contractor. This guy was homeless at the time and had apparently just gotten out of jail. He had almost no trucking experience and an equal amount of food service experience. He had been a 'thug' or 'enforcer' for the manager apparently at the previous contractor.
Sygma was the first of two food service jobs I've held. The second I held for nearly two years until I was phoned at home and told not to set foot on the property again or I would be arrested for tresspassing.
I quickly came to the conclusion that food service was for people new to trucking and/or people with employment 'histories' as well as legal 'histories'. Good Luck at whatever you choose to do. Many good CDL jobs out there but one has to start somewhere. I started during the summer of 1974 working for a boat trailer manufacturer. -
I have a 3-4hr break in my tuesday and friday routes because the stores I deliver to have a lock out time from 11am to 2 pm so we have to sit and wait until 2pm to start back rolling and yes we are paid down time for that at a rate of 22.35 an hour.Baack Thanks this. -
Just read other guy post. I am definitely no PR guy or gal. Maybe it was just your Sygma that was ######. I have good employment history but this is my first driving job. Everything isn't all sunshine there. The warehouse is a big mess. The turnover rate there is idk pretty low. Guys do come and go though. Some dudes think it should be their way or the highway and when a dispatcher asks them to do something they get ###### and throw a fit.
And some guys I work with have a maturity level of a 5 yr old.
The extra board is a b word because you HAVE to go out when they call you. I have my own dedicated routes so I don't have to accept any routes I don't have to and I don't. I just run my 3 routes do a good job and go home and they don't bother me unless a stupid customer thinks I've shorted them.
Customer service will then call my phone and even though I delivered it they will believe the customer and give them credit for it.
No ez job. Some can't hang. -
