Local-Exercise8843@reddit

I have 3 years of yard hostler experience and I’m taking my cdl test with the DMV in a few days and was thinking about working food service (Sysco, us foods ect) Would they hire me as a new cdl holder? I’m 32 and know food service is very physical but I’m not willing to do OTR I have a family. Any suggestions or tips I’d really appreciate it.

If I could go back to beginning I’d just do garbage. Weekly pay(food service is bi weekly) way less physical and it’s local

Sysco is terrible. I lasted 3 months and the pay is bi-weekly. Run far away and FAST. I also got injured and fell down a flight of stairs lmaoo. I’m young to, I quit that job so quick and never looked back. Best decision I ever made. The money isn’t worth it

Right now they're doing just fine convincing new cdl graduates that they are the only option.

To an extent. It would give insight if ya’ll posted actual information not just “look what i get”. How many hour? When does ot start? Are you getting bonuses for anything? Where? Not what company, which is also helpful, but where in the damn world? Ya’ll know this isn’t a strictly US reddit. What country? What state/province/city? Are you home nightly? Weekly? Monthly? This, is just a brag right now.

You might be responding, but most don’t. Regardless, with no information it’s a brag.

Are you jealous?

wetstorm95@reddit

You take criticism poorly. Criticism that isn’t even directly just you, but “truckers” on this subreddit as a whole. No i am not jealous. I make a whopping 9 cents under you. You said it’s good for future drivers, but it’s not if they have no tangible information (again, not just you, just in this case being told on your thread). “Look how much money you can make… if you do 70+ hours”.

70 hours a week as a lawyer or doctor would net you far, far more than this lol

I’m foodservice as well. But I make a little over half of what you made for 2 weeks. I do 55 hours a week on average. My company doesn’t pay OT. I’m also in rural Georgia with a low cost of living.
