I’m 60 years old, driving for Food Lion. I admit that I’m nothing special and still... I have absolutely no problems whatsoever doing this type of work. Seriously, anybody can do it. Driving OTR, sitting with no exercise for 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week and being forced to eat only crappy, overpriced truck stop slop... all for maybe $800.00 bucks a week is definately what I’d call “earning it”.
You’ll have to take my word on this one but... last week I grossed over $2300.00 for one week; I did volunteer to work one extra day that week but still, not bad pay for 6 days. And I’m home every night as well as home for my two days off every week.analoglogistics Thanks this. -
I've done food service, cases of cabbage on a 2 wheeler going down narrow stairs to the basement of an old Chinese restaurant, having to move 7-8 cases in their cooler, to put the fresh stuff behind the older stuff.Busy kitchens, waiting for the manager, so he can sign the bill, because no one else will do it.Had my share, and I was 30 years younger at the time.faux_maestro, gentleroger, Vic Firth and 1 other person Thank this. -
If so, that's a HUGE difference than what I typically think of as "food service". Bringing a two wheel gand cart down a ramp, then up a curb, through a door and down a flight of stairs is a lot more work than pallet jacking off onto a dock.faux_maestro, Lonesome and John Joel Glanton Thank this. -
Sorry to be slow about getting on here - Been a busy week, I'm enjoying the process. Got done with computer stuff and got in the truck for a little bit yesterday. Just basic stuff, started learning how to do a proper pre-trip. How to safely couple and un-couple. Drove around the OC yard for a bit and then got released for the weekend. Time to get rested up, study some Schneider processes to drive and get ready for a fun week of learning how to drive and back this little sleeper cab tractor and 53' trailer.
Thanks
