McLane Foodservice, new driver

Pick up the phone call the company and ask. Or see if you can find their requirements online.

 

Just know this. Working for a grocery company is VERY labor intensive. Just like doing local deliveries for beer and soda companies. I've done it. Lots of hard work.

 

The only thing I remember about McClane is sitting in their parking lots for a minimum of 12 hours, and sometimes 24 hours to get unloaded, refer or dry, any locoation, may they burn in hell.

 

I think a lot of it will depend on how well you catch on to operating the truck. Mainly backing. Some do better than others right out of school. If you can do well on a driving test for a local outfit they may hire you.

Good luck Marine -

 

Yes, and if memory serves they only accept deliveries after dark. I did always love to deliver Hershey chocolate loads to them though. If the shipping boxes are damaged they won't accept them. I always took one or two cases of chocolate with me afterward. I gave them to the girls in the office at my terminals. They always were good to help me if I needed a favor.

I used to always have a case or two of either Hershey or Mars chocolate tucked under my upper bunk safety webbing.
