    Went on their website and I didn’t see their Allentown/Bethlehem terminal to apply too. Did they move out of that area as well?

    i'd have to disagree with you on this one; Even with the advantages such as mostly daytime work and in some cases 4 day workweek AND pay in many cases comparable with other (better) forms of trucking, foodservice are all still a VERY bad choice.

    foodservice 1 < LTL 20
     
    McUzi Thanks this.

    Also, some exercise is good for you. But not SUPER STRENUOUS EVERYDAY.

    While I agree food service can get stressful at times I would do food service 100 times over rather than OTR driving 500 miles just to drop a trailer and then drive 500 miles somewhere else.

    Maybe for some but not for ALL. LTL can be a bad choice for some but not for ALL. Just because food service was not for you doesn't mean it's not for others. LTL is not for me but I don't tell others it is a bad choice. I let them decide for themselves.

    If the job is super strenuous everyday then you are doing it wrong.

    Exactly when I worked for sysco you had to have a method to beat the madness. If you had a system it wasn’t that hard.
