    They finally posted the new routes.

    Most of them pay around $1000. a week!!!!!!!!

    Ummm, F that. Going to be a huge exodus of drivers. I can make that bumping docks with swift or driving a dump truck and never get out of the cab. One that sticks in my mind starts at 11:30pm, key stop deliveries all morning, finishes around 9am and pays............... $180

    Ummm, yeah, F that.
    I'm already getting calls from other drivers "did you see? am I reading this right?"

    I worked on Labor Day, double time pay plus 8 hours of Holiday on top of that. The $700+ made it less painful.

    That's no good one of the big appeals of MBM is the dough that it pays.

    exactly
    i think most every one is going to leave. That's peanuts. and to touch each box? ridiculous
    that's about the only appeal of MBM to be honest.

    It is the ONLY reason to work there. I'm sorry but I won't work foodservice for that low of pay. It has now become a part time job. Most bids you are only working for 3 days a week. I have kids to put through college I can't afford that. 17 years driving no accidents 2 million miles and a csa score of 0. Plus 7 years foodservice. 8 years auto transport. Think I can find a job?

    Mbm went from the highest paying foodservice job in Denver to the lowest in 1 bid cycle. Amazing

    yeah, I don't know what they are thinking. Shoot, as Donstrk will attest, the drivers save the warehouse EVERY SINGLE DAY (and get nothing for it but more grief)
    I know that CL shows 100+ ads every day just for drivers.

    All they are going to get is bottom feeders.

    In case I didn't mention it above, I resigned yesterday (before I had actually seen the route sheets), I simply can't take the crappy equipment and stupid warehouse ALL THE TIME anymore. now with it not paying any money, I feel so good about my decision.
