Is McLane a good company to work for?

My husband has been offered a job with McLane Foodservice in New York. He would be delivering to restaurants (Taco Bell, etc). He has heard good things from truck drivers where he presently works (He drives a dedicated route for Swift in UT right now). But, I have read some bad things about the company.

He will be starting out as a substitute driver, so he won't have a schedule, will basically be on call all the time. The hiring lady told him it takes about a year to get hired full time as a senior driver. Starting out he would make an average of 50k/year. Once he becomes a senior driver it's average pay of 70k year. It is a more physical job than other trucking jobs, but he doesn't mind that at all (he's a very physical, hands on type, doesn't mind physical labor).

Anyone previously or presently worked for this company, or know someone who has? Does it depend on location (as I said this is in New York state)?

Any input is appreciated, thanks!

 

They told him he would work 4 days/week, have 3 days off/week. He would be gone for 2 days, home for 1, then gone for 2 days again, then home for 2, he would be doing a dedicated account.
