    I always do what needs to be done. I use to work for a cargo company doing clothing stores in a 26 foot box truck years ago. I hand delivered to each stop and was actually faster then most guys there. I have no doubt I’ll be ok.

    I think martin brower offloads mostly using rollers dont they? They have always been quite mysterious .....not much "gets out " on them .....

    People always eat McDonald’s man. Even in tough times. I’m sure there’s plenty of hours. Martin Brower runs the McDonald’s account except here in Colorado. The owner here is who runs Mile Hi is friends with the McDonald’s deal so he’ll never lose the account in Colorado. Everywhere else Martin Brower does McDonald’s. They convator belt it or just run whole pallets in and the employees take it from there. Pay should be good cause it’s Foodservice.

    I’d try Martin Brower first. If it doesn’t fit for you the US Foods gig will always be there.

    I’ve seen with my own eyes off a Mile Hi truck here in Colorado a convator belt out the side. But I’ve heard they gone to racks and just push it in or pallets. Very easy stuff compared to the traditional Foodservice ways.

    I’m not even sure how they do it. I seen carts in the warehouse that were almost Saran wrapped it looked like. The trainer didn’t say much but you drive good your hired lol.

    I guess it’s good that Martin Brower is mysterious because usually you only hear the bad about a company. The only thing is I have a son from a previous marriage that I want to spend more time with. I been gone on the road a lot and work most weekends in the past. It be nice to take a gig like us foods and be home on the weekends more even if the work load isn’t the greatest. Idk it’s a tough call.
