Never did beverage, but when i was in Food Service they ALWAYS looked extremely miserable. Coke, Pepsi, and beer. I’m sure that isn’t the case for everyone though. I highly suggest every new cdl driver to start off with food service simply for the great pay, day one benefits, and for the HUMBLENESS! Man will food service humble you.. lol.

I pulled trash and now pull mail for a living. I'm a rookie driver with two years of experience. Backing up on a 20 degree inclined tipper in a landfill in pouring rain was a great learning experience. I currently pull mail from Richmond, VA to Dulles distribution center-Capital Heights,MD distribution center, back to Richmond, VA. I travel up and down I-95, I-295, I-495, I-66, and Route 28 every evening. Getting experience with dealing with dense traffic, while operating a 10-speed straight manual gearbox is fun. Plus, my route involves NO TOUCH FREIGHT! New drivers should look into polling mail for a private contractor.

Man I love your channel so much. I live in North Carolina and am going to take the permit test for the CDL Wednesday. I don't know who specifically I'll end up going with but all I can think about is going to Food Service. I don't know how it's going to realistically go but that is my ultimate goal. Especially now that you mentioned something about the hour's. I know you'll work long hours sometimes but sometimes is better than everyday.

[@imanthonytv]

I appreciate the support bro. Yep, you might experience some long days from time to time but hopefully not everyday. Not all food service drivers work a bunch of long crazy hours. If you get with a company and you’re having very long day’s consistently, I personally would probably start looking elsewhere. Unless you just don’t mind the long hours. Good luck man.

I went OTR for a month and wanted my life back. Now I'm being trained to be a relief driver (eventually get my own route if I stick around) with a beer delivery company. Yeah, this is probably the hardest work I've ever done. But my experience is different than yours 2 months in. Firstly we don't price. Secondly the drivers get paid a flat daily rate + x cents per case/keg. So they wanna be flying thru the day. And the dudes that are really good typically end up working 7-12 hour days. I'm sure them hours can increase in the summer depending on case counts. Lastly, idk if you had this, but 3 day weekends are so fucking nice. Can't stress that enough. I honestly love this job I just wish it paid more. I'm only making $19/hr rn but even as a driver I'm sure I'd only pull 3400-4k a month depending on the route I get. But the exercise is so good for me and I'm markedly stronger probably than I've ever been after just 2 months of throwing these cases, downstacking pallets, scooping and dropping stacks, and lifting them kegs. Fuckers weigh as much as I do lol. That being said I'm still only staying till I can get a regional trucking job that'll pay more. I miss being on the road I just don't miss counting the days till I'm home.

National DCP is a pretty good company to go for and the pay is good as well 👍 I totally feel the vibe from where you are coming from and from your story as well.

Lol man I left out so much stuff that I didn’t like.. I didn’t mention those heavy beer Kegs smh. One of my liquor store accounts would order 30 keg’s like once a month along with the 7-10 pallets of beer. We also had to pick up all the empty keg’s and take back to the DC😂 It was brutal man. Rotating product, merchandising, sometimes waiting long periods of time to be checked in..4 month’s was long enough for me bro..Now I just drop & GO! ✌🏾

[@shawng4886]

@@imanthonytv that was another thing… picking up empties! Problem was almost none of the drivers actually did their fucking jobs regarding empties. So if someone took a day or had vaca time, they’d just throw someone on that route, with the TERRIBLE routing system, and you’d have to basically do THEIR work too because there were always empties to pickup…. Yeah, we did Sprecher and New Glarus. Barrels were 180lbs each! Up and down stairs… the fucking hand truck would barely move with 2 barrels on it(close to 400lbs) but we were expected to do it if we were gonna get done at a decent time… One of the routes I got assigned to after a guy quit was a rural area driving ALL OVER the place and that route generally had 350-400 cases all put away plus 40-60+ barrels. Smh fucking terrible! I’ll always be grateful I got my CDL there(although it was mostly self-training) but I wasn’t going to put up with that shit for the pay. My checks had to have 100+ hours to clear $2,000 every two weeks…

Doing Beverage delivery is great training for food service. Makes the transition easier. But I agree Beverage delivery is horrible.

[@alexperez-gk6ll]

It’s difficult, I like the blue collar bust your butt and get it done. So for me beer delivery works out for me, food service work too much, they get paid but they are also out there all day seems like. Everybody has their preferences

[@americanlinks1924]

so beer delivery is less physical? I'm going to do some research now. OTR isn't too good right now but I dont want to hurt my back out there either

[@alexperez-gk6ll]

@@americanlinks1924 depends on route, proper lifting and using a back brace will definitely help. But if you’ve never done this type of work you will definitely feel it the first few months. You should also look at companies that do liquor/wine

When I left law enforcement (corrections) for trucking I went into LTL at FedEx ground. Like you I was pulling in $1500 every two weeks, TERRIBLE. But I understood that at this point of my career the experience was worth more. Making more than that now (1 yr later) but ima def pivot and relocate to FL to haul gas

If you doing it for experience a lot of trucking companies won't consider driving a class b vehicle as experience since they be looking for tractor trailer experience. Well that's how it is in my city in FL

Your story is so similar to my own.. I started my cdl career in the beer delivery industry as well, and it was definitely one of the most hardworking jobs I’ve had in my life. From cases to kegs, up n down stairs, & the pay here in Washington D.C it wasn’t worth it, but i am forever grateful for the opportunity they gave me to do so without any CDL experience, I learned so much there. & I actually had Pepsi on my line at the same time as the beer company & I ended up choosing the beer company. After a year I had to move on to my initial goal fuel delivery..
