Minimum experience to get into food distribution

Sometimes there's trade-offs to get the hometime and pay you want.
Food service sucks; I tried it. I'll take a reefer outfit running OTR any day over food service. Some people like that crap, but I won't do it.

 

McLane, that is the outfit I was thinking of.

 

It is quite a bit of work, young man's work, LOL!

 

I've talked to a few of their drivers and they say $70K is easy to make there. They can keep their $70K or $90K.

 

If Grandmother is your priority, then teams running local basically with McLane, isn't much of a sacrifice to make for her.

 

I would stick with pepsi for one year. We have a lot of beer and soda guys come over. Here's the issue you might have. They'll see you're trying to jump ship after only 4 months because you can't hack pepsi (in their eyes) so they'll think you can't hack food service which there is a ton of turnover.

If you can last 8 more months im pretty sure you're set

 

Some food service isn't better in all honesty bro. Pretty much every driver at my company is only here for a pay check nothing else. None of us enjoy it, the company will not hesistate to fire us once robots can drive and deliver. We tolerate it because of the paycheck and nothing else.
