The Food Service Rant thread

How long do I have to wait before I all the HR Supervisor?!?! haha. I just dropped of my MVR, thinking of calling tomorrow afternoon and seeing if she received it haha. Im pretty impatient.

 

I did try and ask for her. Receptionist just said. I'll make sure she gets it. Like I said. I'm thinking of calling her tomorrow. I don't think it's too soon. After all. I did call her right after I turned the app in to ask about the mvr haha.

Hi guys,
Are you guys busy? Were busy right now at GFS at least at my yard. I've been loaded down pretty good the past two weeks. Also were short on drivers right now, and schools about ready to start and schools are huge for us because were the #1 supply of school cafeteria food. Actually I'm happy schools are going to start because it has screwed up my Thursday with schools out. Now the thing about me though is I don't do to many schools I run express routes mostly and I do a lot of the commercial accounts restaurants and some nursing homes, but I'm mostly restaurants 75% of the time. However I do have one skip route I do on Thursday and now with schools starting that should make my Thursdays normal. At any rate hasn't been bad my pay check was rather healthy this week.

Anyhow, last Friday I had 20,000 on and tomorrow I've got 19,000+ on so almost a repeat. I was so full last Friday that I had at my first stop my ramp out my wheeler on the ground and I slide the cases down the ramp which is a good way to unload quickly if you're one guy and the trailer is filled to the back doors.

Anyhow today I had 12 stops, 872 cases two major hospitals part of the same hospital system. They have a major hospital on the west side of the county and a major hospital on the east side of the county. I had both of them, first two stops of the day took 400+ cases off the truck and put a pretty good sized gap in the dry goods section. I was cubed pretty good to my dry goods went from the left side of the trailer to the right side of the trailer and then almost all the way to the back of the trailer a few feet from the back door. However Hospitals go heavy on the dry goods and the cooler goods they get are smaller cases so they don't empty the cooler out as quick. However the one hospital took 2.5 pallets of dry and the other hospital took 4 pretty solid U-Boat loads of dry which I'm here to say 4 U-Boats is a good amount of product heck I had 2 U-Boats of freezer and that's 74 cases right there.

Then lets see Wednesday 15 stops 18,000lbs 772 cases actually did pretty good on that route beat it up pretty good, however it fought back around 1pmish but over all it worked out.

Tuesday weight wise was not as heavy 13,000lbs I want to say 606 cases somewhere around there. Had 135 cases of just dry come off at a chain restaurant that is getting ready to open.

Monday was 10,000lbs and only 400 something Monday isn't that heavy and that's fine because I like my Mondays easy ha-ha. However the rest of the week gets heavy. Anyhow I'm tired and have a big heavy day tomorrow and need to get my beauty rest ha-ha!

Oh oh before I forget I was on the internet and found this video by US Foods I think it's rather well done what do you guys think. GFS loads there trucks differently then the other companies and I don't do as much digging because of the way our trucks are loaded, but I can certainly though relate to a lot of this. Although I will say this our Uniforms at GFS are much sharper then US Foods US Foods I'll say it I don't like there uniforms.

 

What are the typical start times for you guys?
Hauling milk right now, I never have a set start time and my days can go from between 10 and 14 hours depending on what sort of dairy we're dealing with.
Also, are there any strictly night positions with this line of work?

Not really much of sociable person, and I'm not even touching over-the-road with a 10' pole either.

Been doing the milk thing for three years now and I'm starting to fizzle out with things around here.

I start any where from 10pm to 3 am depends on the route and day
