    You’ll top out at $143 per day and 35 cents per case. It’s solid money and with the cool lift system it’s easy work

    figure $114 (day rate)
    Plus $125 (500 cases times 28 cents per)
    Plus VROT this can be weird. It usually ends up being about $14 per hour. No one actually knows the formula. Lol. In the beginning you’ll be working 12 hours per day. After you get a route and know where you’re going, it’ll be less.

    Do the math. Those are accurate numbers. I’m in the area.

    about $275-300 per day, to start.

    yeah, I work in jersey. Liberty tried doing 4 on 3 off. It hasn’t worked in this area. You’ll be working 5 days. If you get trained in bulk you’ll be eligible to work OT on saturdays. That’s all time and a half. About $41 per hour.

    you’ll make 70 your 1st year. Then you’ll figure out what you’re doing and you’ll make 80 and work a lot less your second year. ;-)

    should all be the cool lift system. Single axle, autos. I think they’re 35 foot? In that range. Orders are all picked for you (unlike the old side loader days), you just have to wheel them in, scan them in and sometimes merchandise. Merchandising is where you lose all you’re time.

    Orientation is like a day, possibly 2. After that they usually train you for 2 weeks- then they give you baby routes for a couple weeks.
