Quickest Route to Foodservice?

@Cardfan89 is spot on. Your in the military this job will likely blow your current income away if your in your first 4 years I’m assuming. I’m on a 80k-100k pace. But I came to my company with a lot of driving experience and prior Foodservice exp. So they topped me out pretty fast. When I was at US Foods at starting pay around 19 hr 6 years ago I was gonna make 55k-60k at bottom rate. Think starting now is 25hr in my area. But topped guys were making a boat load of money. I can’t remember but my eyes got big when my trainer showed me his paystub for a 4 day work week starting at 5am off by noon or 2pm. Of course he was there for 15-20 years.

 

McLane has a domicile in GR. Usually short handed, and a couple of the older guys are talking about retirement.

 

I made $76K last year at GFS, and I live pretty high on the hog for me I guess. However I'm not married and have no kids so my expenses are pretty low.

 

Thanks all, I still dig the weather in TN but I'm from West Michigan so it may be a better option.

Mike2633 - That is some serious money for our part of the state, how long have you been there, does the pay scale move up from there? Are you out of the terminal off 44th? I would love to get into contact with you to talk more about it. PM me perhaps?

Also I used to work for a reefer LTL carrier out of Holland and we did a ton of work with you guys. That was quite a fun job everything from sales, brokerage, operations + route planning, appointments, warehouse..... even let me drive a few tractors in the yard around the cross dock.

 

NTB Trucking is a good start. Several locations in Michigan and upper midwest. Reefer outfit hauling food for Meijers, but also other customers.
