5 things YOU need to know before taking a food service delivery job!!😲👀💰

[@rriicckk787]

At my Mclane interview the manager showed me how the warehouse guys are given a diagram of how the truck should be loaded according to which route it’s going on. They try to maximize how much space they use on the trailer (all 48 footers) while cutting down on the time the driver spend looking for cases.

[@TheTurtlesrockz]

This job is WORK! Money to be picked up, but the diggin for cases is real at times, and it sucks when you're killing it at a good pace and suddenly have to stop. Amazing video!

[@imanthonytv]

Facts! 💯

[@williampetty6821]

All true facts! Another great video full of facts, my dude! The food service trucking lane is a great opportunity to get the experience for new drivers. I will say that during the time that you are with food service, take that time to use it as a stepping stone to your next platform of driving or whatever your next goal maybe. The physical aspect of the job will eventually catch up with you. Keep bringing the content! Your gonna get that call one day my dude for recruiting for Gordon……I see it! ✊🏽

[@imanthonytv]

Facts! Well said my brother! As always, I appreciate the support! ✊🏾💯🙏🏾

[@nilsenalvarez6515]

I barely got my License and got hired by a food service company. I been watching your videos even before going into that field. Everything you had said it’s true. Food service is not for everyone is really physical demanding and with a lot of hrs of work

[@mickeyalston2239]

I’m trying to get my class A right now so can move on from dishwashing I like to work I wouldn’t mind the hrs.

[@ALR1000]

Hell, I have my A and commercial experience. It's hard for me.

[@thestonecold9633]

Been in the food game since 2000 Delivery driver to trans supervisor, and safety manager since 2005. Started driving in the late 80s and to be able to be a local driver making good money and sleep in your own bed every night was UNHEARD of back then, but today it's possible. But don't get it twisted, it takes a special breed to throw cases, keep up the good work fam.

[@imanthonytv]

No doubt it.. thanks bro 💯

[@masiomasio]

Lost me at #1 😂 whyyyyy. You could literally get paid more for drop & hooks, no touch freight

[@jcleer1]

All true. You should add that sometimes load bars fail and you have quite the mess on your hands to deal with, lol, but I view those days as challenge accepted.

[@imanthonytv]

That’s also true lol. 👍🏾

[@dansanders6097]

I appreciate bro. Honest at it's best.

[@LeikkLeikk]

You forgot 1! Use a TALL DOLLY, not a “SHORT” dolly. Depending on how many cases the stop has, it’ll save you “at least” 10 minutes. Just can’t stack a short dolly like a tall one.

I got like 3 months of experience and I’ve applied to Sysco 2 times And had 2 interviews phone and never got the job , performance food service never reached backed out to me since I didn’t have 6 months , gfs went with other candidates., I have hand truck experience and delivery experience but no one will hire , about to just give up on trucking and I don’t want to do otr , I got a 5 year old and a new born . But I understand sacrifices have to be made

[@imanthonytv]

Man, I personally wouldn’t go OTR with a new born. My wife wouldn’t go for it either lol but I understand you have to do what you have to do. I would definitely exhaust every local option before going OTR under your circumstances. Good luck man.

[@WhiteLineFever1999]

this was a good video. wish i came across this before accepting a job at UNFI. i mean i have 1 year experience but no food delivery experience. so i'm currently in training with them. its been very productive, but also running 10-12 hour days and then not having much time with family at home. then expected back early in the morning between 1 and 4am. but also didn't realize it would be 100% touch freight either. so thats my fault. But im decent at it and i'm gonna stick it out and see how things go. But i gotta admit the pay is good for what the job entails especially w/o no experience in food delivery.

[@osmanrayyan]

How much sleep do you get? The only reason I don't do food service delivery is because too many hrs working and don't get enough sleep at home... so I chose to do flatbed over the road

[@TroyP20]

How much are they paying?

[@abrazosnobalazosxd1827]

I went to the interview, did the pallet test…passed all test and at the end didn’t get hired and I’m a hard worked, I was in the moving business from 2018-2023(Dec) moving furniture all day.

[@flashgarcia6376]

I work for mclane if we dig for cases is maybe just one case it’s not bad almost flawless Everytime I’ve only worked at mclane coming out of driving school so I’m defiantly spoiled. Ps food service is not for the weak anybody in food service hats off to you guys I’ve been doing it over a year now but I’m in better shape the. Ever got my six pack back leggooo think about working out and you get paid don’t think other wise you won’t make it

[@imanthonytv]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@HamBone01]

The truth is there are companies that pay by the hour or by commission. Both require you to work, I mean work your ass OFF. Non stop. Fast paced, back breaking straight get down hard work. Non stop until that trailer is empty. Don't get me started on dealing with difficult customers who want this here, and that there, and then want to take thirty minutes to check it in. If you aren't physical able to get down and bust your ass don't bother.

[@osmanrayyan]

Not only that, plus you work like 14 hrs a day and it's hard to get enough sleep to do it all over again... I know the knees take a beating

[@imanthonytv]

@Ray Ray that’s not the case for everyone. I personally work 4 sometimes 5 days a week. 40-47hrs a week. I’ve been in the delivery business for over 20yrs going up & down the ramp and never had any knee or back injuries. Thank God. Food service isn’t for everyone but make no mistake about it, everybody is not working all those hours.

Also every stop is timed...

[@coreyward5991]

Are some routes better than others for stability? For example, if my route had schools and hospitals, those places go on no matter what-recession or not. In recessions people go out to eat less (generally), so I wonder if that would hurt the guy with more restaurants on his route.

[@imanthonytv]

Typically, most local routes have a variety of different customers which may include all of the places you mentioned on one route. Actually, if a driver does have a route which consists of all schools, that route will definitely see a decline when school is out for the year due to no orders being placed. People need food and even in a recession, we still go to restaurants so the case count may drop a little but honestly not much so this industry is definitely stable unless there’s another P-word that effects us all drastically again.

[@paulyjackdaniels3432]

Thanks for the informative videos bro. I'm getting married soon and decided to take an OTR gig with Swift for the experience. I'd love to get into food delivery because of the home time. Many food delivery posts on Indeed ask for 1-year of warehouse experience. Is this really the case? What if I had a year of OTR experience, I feel that's way more valuable. Can you help me out?

[@imanthonytv]

Not all food service companies require driving experience. Sysco, GFS, PFG, Sygma, & McLane are all companies who will hire new drivers. With that said, getting OTR experience will definitely benefit you in terms of driving experience.
