A day in the life of a chain delivery driver |Headed to the hotel 🚛

In today’s video, I bring you along on my route while I talk about my trailer load, how I broke my hand truck, & maneuvering through a tight parking lot.

I think if you’re fortunate enough to be based out of a well-managed terminal has a lot to do with how good or bad the job is. I read about someone who worked at Sysco and a typical work week was around 50-55 hrs. But he temporarily transferred to another terminal to help them out and it was much more chaotic.

Hey Anthony, you just received a new Subscriber!! Great content, and I love the first person view perspective of when you're unloading the trailer. Well polished and authentic content and information! I also respect the financial insight and the positive mindset and taking the good with the bad and looking at the bigger picture! Much respect! Keep em coming! -Gordon Collins

I appreciate the support my brother. Welcome to the ATV family! 🙏🏾

[@zaglizztv3399]

I do both use the retracter and my foot😂😂

[@triggerpullintazz1347]

That retractable hand is a good changer I paid $75 for one my co work helped me put it on. The one Latbatt give you doesn’t come with a retractable handle but enjoy your weekend we got weekends off too here another game changer 😂😂😂

[@imanthonytv]

Yes sir 💪🏾😂

[@JayToday007]

Wish you all the best bro

Hey bro I'll be coming on to the food service life starting next week with mclane. I've been watching your videos for the past few weeks. Getting my mind ready for what's to come. The only things I'm worried about is adjusting to the physical grind. I'm 6-6 and 300 pounds, I know about to lose some weight fast. 😂 Appreciate the content

[@imanthonytv]

That’s what’s up my guy. Yeah, don’t be surprised if you shed a few pounds. 😂💪🏾

[@gdm415]

As long as I make that 💰 I'll suck it up. Plus I'm basically a new cdl A holder. I got alot to learn but looking forward to it. My goal is to get a tanker job. I got my all my endorsements just to make my resume look good. But everyone wants a year minimum of experience. Mclane was the first to offer to a took it. I'm based out of Colorado. Any advice I'd appreciate it

[@avogadro4928]

Just push through and you’ll condition your body to the job within a couple months. You’ll be fine

[@kassimabdullahi5143]

I’m about to join food service gang on April 15 coming off OTR. I did flatbed for a year but it’s nothing compared to what a lot of people saying about the grind of food service.

[@imanthonytv]

💪🏾

[@garyboi6255]

Great video live and raw 👍

[@imanthonytv]

Appreciate you watching 👌🏾

[@DevinSettles]

That’s crazy man

[@TayTheLocalTrucker]

Bro, I got to get my hands on the retractable hand truck!! I know you mentioned it in one of your videos but the name of the company you mentioned escapes me, did you say it was Magliner or Magcoa that I could get them? I use the foot method ALL THE TIME and as well as bending down to pull the hand truck from up under em the stack with my hand and that does get annoying. I’d much rather get the retractable ones.

[@imanthonytv]

Magcoa.com

[@ManzaMvsa]

Can you bring your own hand truck? there are so many variations of hand trucks that could help you and make the job easier for you. even if you need to travel with it every time you go into work.

[@imanthonytv]

You could but I personally don’t think it’s necessary if you already have a good one. Hand trucks aren’t cheap. Unless the company doesn’t provide the driver with one, it’s really no need to purchase your own.

[@ManzaMvsa]

@@imanthonytv What’s the biggest inconvenience you have found at your job? One you run into again and again?

[@imanthonytv]

@ManzaMvsa I would say digging for cases. Some days are better than others but it’s a reoccurring problem.

[@trirail812productions8]

if they have a hot tub that must feel nice after what you do on your back no

[@Rapitupprod]

Ant what's the tip on getting faster in and out that trailer with the dolly? How do I become more efficient delivering?

[@imanthonytv]

Speed comes with time & just getting familiar with the cases. Try to keep your truck organized as you go along throughout the day. Also, being able to park as close as possible to wherever you’re making the delivery will help you become more efficient as well.

[@Rapitupprod]

@imanthonytv appreciate you fam 💪🏾

[@JayToday007]

8 stops and 1019 cases over two days? 😮

[@imanthonytv]

Yep

[@oneman911]

That’s normal I do anywhere between 1000-1300 in 2 days layover and all with PFG nyc routes

[@imanthonytv]

@oneman5055 Yep..Doing 1000-1300 cases on a 2 day route is different from doing 1000 cases on a local route because you have to factor in the miles. I have 2hr commutes between a few stops 😅

[@JayToday007]

I use my foot and my foot hurts every day 😅lol

[@imanthonytv]

I already know 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@bubbybeezy356]

Do you do support?I got a chaotic Monday comin up with the eclipse but did a lot of pre planning to make it smooth

[@imanthonytv]

No

[@trirail812productions8]

so when you go to the hotel you stay over night like sleep over night then leave the next day

[@imanthonytv]

I actually leave the hotel before midnight but basically in most cases yes, that’s how it works. Most chain drivers stay overnight and leave hotel early the next morning.
