    As if on cue; my route last night was 1796 cases. Not even room at the door to load the dolly properly when I opened the door last night.

    It was a good night, took me 11:45 to get to my backhaul.

    Hello; I am a driver for Sysco. We seem to have too many driver's right now so I have been sitting home bored on my extra day. Kinda figured I would check this message board out. Interesting to see how many people have the same issues through the various distribution companies. Look forward to reading more.

    I've considered jumping ship but I really don't want to go through the process of changing insurance and so on. Kinda figure the culling will begin soon anyway.

    Any time it’s slow in Foodservice take advantage of it being slow with rest. In the summer it tends to be slammed. You’ll be begging for it to be slow. Probably when it’s hot everywhere people tend to eat out more. I’m sure around the upcoming holiday in May.

    I agree; just don't remember it being this bad last year.

    Business comes and goes just keep your head down you will keep moving up and not have to worry about
    getting hours because your high enough on seniority it doesn't matter

    I couldn’t get used to the 2-3am start times. I’m a night person or late morning to afternoon shift person. Me and mornings just don’t work.
