Wondering about us foods

There case counts are pretty high I think the pay and case rate very per warehouse that you run out of.

 

they pay hourly here. Pretty fair wages. Like all food companies always looking for drivers. Lots of different equipment. straight trucks to 28' to 35/38'? 40's, 48's, even seen a few rocky mountain doubles. Early mornings of course.

 

After 90 days you can go from hourly to pay by case. You have the choice to be hourly or not. Pay is different now it's been 4 yrs since I worked there. I'm sure starting is 21hr top 26 if I gestimate. My area was a 4 day work week almost all weekends off some sats once awhile. Average 12-14hr days.
They pay OT. They don't organize pallets well at all so you'll have to dig thru pallets which doubles your work. If their hurting for drivers expect a lot of cases stuffed in the trailer. A lot of managers are former drivers so they know what your going threw. Union for the most part. Besides the grueling work everything else was pretty good. Get ready to start at 2am-3am everyday you won't see 4am-5am start times for 10+ years. I think nights is a better choice there then the grueling start times til you get seniority. A lot can change though in the next couple years they are in transition with Sysco on the buy out so your 4 days can end up being 5 day work week which Sysco works.

 

Average days 600-700 cases. Heavy day up to 1k cases. 14 stops the norm.

 

Yeah they make good dough there case commission is pretty high higher then ours at GFS not that we do bad or anything, but it kind of depends not a bad company not really, Cowboy is right they drive all kinds of different equipment in Cleveland they don't have any 28' they do have a lot of lift gates though and they have a good number of 36' and a lot of 48' and some 53' a lot of lift gates to replace the 28' trailers they have 10 wheeler's you know the twin screw straight trucks that you see driving around that's what they use if the warehouse doesn't have any 28' trailers. They use those to get into places the big trucks can't go.

At any rate though they pay pretty good and a woman who I worked with years ago said her son worked in the warehouse at US Foods and said they were the nicest people there. One of our drivers at my yard right now used to work there, he said it was fine only reason he quit was because of the Sysco merger he didn't want to work for Sysco.

 

My son works there here in California. Radman hit it right on the money. My son says on a slow week he will bring home $1200, on a busy week, $1500 easy. His shift is 4/10's but mostly 4/12's. His shift starts at 1 or 2 am, he doesnt mind cuz he spends more time with his family. They are Union, if you know how to work the system, you also can get alot of time off, Paid. And yes, the Cisco merger fell thru, not happening.

 

Yeah when your extra board not your route it took me 14hrs on average. Don't know where your going, how to setup, front or back deliver. you start as a extraboard driver covering routes. People call in every day it's union you have the sick days no questions. My term had 100+ drivers. When I had a route I can bang out cases pretty fast and do the route faster. Know where to park and setup. Makes a BIG difference.

 

I just got hired at US Foods. It's a union job . My starting pay is 19.84 . I start on Monday. HR told me at 1 year and a half I'm going to be at 24 an hour. Hopefully it's not BS.
