I see a Syco ad for a "resident driver," which seems to be different from "delivery driver?"
Is a 'resident driver' what they call their shuttle drivers?

I beg to differ. a resident driver works out of a shuttle site.
tedcohen Thanks this. -
So I was thinking that the NY ad is asking for both shuttle and delivery drivers for Maine, while the Maine-based ad just mentions delivery drivers.
Thanks for your help, and thanks also to brazsco. -
1.) Ad placed by Warners, NY:

So, the first ad that says "resident driver" mentions delivery and shuttle, while the second ad mentions only delivery. -
You'll be doing both. Fill in for shuttle unless its an open bid no one wants or there is no one in the area to cover. At US Foods we had to have doubles endorsement to be on the extra board to cover shuttles. Just apply and ask at the interview. Jumping into a shuttle at a resident can happen cause nobody lives there. But you can get bumped by other resident drivers if they decide they want it which they might not cause shuttle might get light hours 40hrs a week vs a route.

When you have no senority, you will be ###### and forced to do shuttled whether you like it or not. Shuttles are easy once u learn the ins and out but it will suck at first. Once u get the first 3 stops off, ull be golden! Enjoy sysco man! Just do ur job, say off the radar, and ull be good!
That ad is complete BS because more than likely youll be doing both!tedcohen Thanks this. -
