My job hopes for future

Food Service...I did it for over 30 years with the same company (Golden State Foods). Delivering McDonald's restaurants. Its a hands on physically demanding job , but once you get some seniority you can bid to run 3 to 4 trips a week and be home every night. Starting out you may run a bit more and may have to take a layover trip , but you are in a motel room that is already set-up and paid for at the end of your day. Take your break and head in, usually after a layover the next day is a day off.

Pay is great , benefits/retirement packages are too. On average drivers made 65 to 68,000 a year..with some making alot more. When I retired in Nov. of 2011 I was running 3 days a week home every night and made a little over 72,000 a year...now granted I was the # 4 guy on the bid-board too.

Like I said it IS a very labor intensive type job....but IMO thats good. I'm 63 and can go do anything I need to to do...no health problems , lots of guys I know can't but its all in what YOU want.

Good Luck.

 

and to think, you called me OLD....

to the OP, where do you live??

 

Maybe YOUR BOTH GEEZERS Giggles.

Pumpkin I would not just wait 2 -3 years before you start applying at places. Do your research like you are and start putting in applications when you got it figured out and when/if they say "no you have to have xxx amount of experience", check back 6 months later to let em know you are still interested. Granted a lot of local gigs want experience but if you put on a good face to begin with that might just get your foot in the door.

 

You still luv me though .....right.......I didn't call you OLD...just well "PRESERVED"

To the OP....... if you have any questions about food service I'll be glad to help if I can.....just pm me anytime.

 

i am only 43......Tony is 63....so he is an older geezer than me....

 

Pumpkin pilot...GSF has a distribution center in Whitewater , Wisconsin. Might be worth a look.

 

yes i still love you...but i am gonna stop hijackin this thread.....
