Just got my cdl and I’ve been working in a restaurant the last ten years so I’ve been interested in working for us foods for a while. Thanks for the video
@@yoboy407 That's impressive. Do you think US Foods is better company than Sysco? I have the option to work for both of them but I'm undecided on which one to work for.
Honestly I think they are pretty much the same from what I've heard from sysco drivers except for small things like we aren't required to work Saturdays but Sysco drivers are and I can't work weekends so it would be a deal breaker for me but that may work for you
A real truck driver that knows how to operate ramps ,dollies, invoices all that stuff is a true truck driver anyone can just back up open and closes doors 😂 keep up the great work 👍🏽
I guarantee if had gave it a month or 2 it wouldn't be nothing too you I was the same way going home sore AF my first few weeks now its normal so my body is used to it
I miss food service lol. I run flatbed loads now I had worked for Sysco the only bad thing about them is the way trailers were loaded pay was insane though. Guaranteed to see at least 1500 per week
@@yoboy407 at my current job money is not good at all. Most I grossed here was 1260. Flatbed is easy work nothing really difficult. I’m supposed to be starting with jb hunt flatbed division soon they say they have a 1400$ minimum guarantee so I’ll see how true that is.
Bro I helped out in Port orange last year, I loved it there and considering transferring in the future. Like the way u pulled the 2 dollies instead of holding one in each hand.
Im working at Pepsi now thinking about making that transition over to food side just not sure I know we put in work but yall put in that major work. Salute brotha
@@yoboy407 I just like the fact that yeah its hard work but yall dont have to also merchandise its just make sure everything there drop product and on to the next stop
@@irvdakid1496 I'm a Pepsi driver currently and just had my interview at US Foods in Salem VA, it's gonna be way easier than the bs we have to deal with. I can't wait to start.
@@Ivanthetroll26 Man I work at Pepsi in Milwaukee, WI right now as a Side Bay driver and I can’t stand merchandising shit bro! It pisses me off. We’re not compensated enough for that shit to me. I just signed an offer letter for US Foods hopefully I can start in May sometime.
@@exavion3364 best of luck to you bro! I should be starting in the next week or so, that merchandising shit is terrible, especially when you can go somewhere else and get paid more to not have to do that.
If you have to separate stops but for the same location you can group them together on the scanner without have to pause each stop to complete the delivery. It helps. Also what camera do you use comes out dope?
Yea bro we definitely back in some tight spots but they do tell us if it’s too tight don’t try it just park a lil further out but nobody wants to do that
Thank you for the content. I’d say I’m probably 90% decided on US Foods, but I have a few questions before applying. I would DM you but I don’t use IG. 1) Do you have to deal with stairs? If so, what is your advice because that sounds pretty intimidating… 2)I noticed you had a long walk to the high school. How strict is your job with delivery times, and finishing before drive time is up? 3) Is there really a set start time for drivers each morning, and set work schedule like Tuesday through Saturday?
1) Yes we do deal with stairs but here in FL we hardly do it’s mostly just curbs and the give us curb ramps for that 2) We have delivery times but they aren’t strict at all I skip stops a lot and run the route in my own order alot and dispatch watches your time especially the new drivers so if you look like you won’t finish the route in time they will send help 3) It’s not a set time each morning it just depends because each route starting time is different and some drivers work Monday thru Friday and the newer drivers are working Tuesday thru Saturday
@@yoboy407 Five days a week? That's rough. I thought food delivery jobs like U.S. Foods was only four days per week? Jobs are advertised as four days per week here in MA.
What's your start time and when do you get done? I'm taking my clp test tomorrow and I'm looking around for companies to work for locally. Like does the scanner tell you what products to get and you grab and bring to the stop?
Start times depends on the route and you finish when the truck is empty so that depends on you I can tell you your first few months will be early mornings and late nights until you learn the products and stops
Thanks for these great informative videos brother, i have a question. Is your rout changing every day or is it the same for most of the time, how many stops do u do as a driver on average? I wanna join US foods.
Bet, I just got my Class A CDL license with automatic restrictions, I was thinking about applying, it’s look’s like hard work but that’s not a problem I’m not lazy, but do you all really work 12-14 hours a day?
Yea it fluctuates bro depending on the route but I will say if you never been in food service before be prepared to have longer days once your training is done and you're by yourself for the first few months
@@yoboy407 Yes it will be my first time delivering food but hard work does pay off. I’m in the garbage industry now working about 65 - 70 hours a week as a supervisor. Bring home about 2k every two weeks hoping maybe with us foods working those hours I could bring home more than that with the hours put in.
I've never seen a food trailer with that many stickers all over it's actually filthy And I've noticed your 2 wheelers don't look like they have brakes Honestly it looks like your company is 2nd rate to McLane by far
Just got my cdl and I’ve been working in a restaurant the last ten years so I’ve been interested in working for us foods for a while. Thanks for the video
Good LUCK getting into US Foods or Sysco.
It's Hard Work and Worth the
$$$ around $100,000 per yr
Your really good at explaining things. Thank you for this content.
No problem thanks for watching

Yea I'm still there

I appreciate this along💪🏽… just finished my app for Performance Foods. It’s way closer then US Food.
That's what's up bro the food industry is the same all around for the most part from what I've heard from other drivers 💯 I appreciate the feedback
@odeecxmpo I'm sure the question you're asking but they do pay for fuel for the Us Foods trucks
A real truck driver that knows how to operate ramps ,dollies, invoices all that stuff is a true truck driver anyone can just back up open and closes doors 😂 keep up the great work 👍🏽
🤣🤣🤣
It’s not that hard this job looks cool, I did it for Red Bull n Pepsi
Nah a Real Truck Driver doesn’t have to do all that Hence the Name “Truck Driver”…… However I respect any driver that can do this persistently 🙌
It’s TRUCK DRIVER not truck unloader. Good luck with your back in 20 years
@@TruckerLerone exactly fuel hauling much better
Sad to say, I didn’t last 30 days doing that😂😂😂. I’m use to backing up, opening the doors and laying down until they’re done unloading 🤷🏽♂️
🤣🤣🤣 I've learned it's not for everybody food service has some revolving doors
@@yoboy407 You’re absolutely right, it’s not for everybody. It feelings like you’re working out at a gym everyday! Nope I’m good 😂
I guarantee if had gave it a month or 2 it wouldn't be nothing too you I was the same way going home sore AF my first few weeks now its normal so my body is used to it

Holy shit man, they got you walking like half a mile at that school. You food delivery guys earn every penny.

Thank you for the video
Good stuff brother
If you have to separate stops but for the same location you can group them together on the scanner without have to pause each stop to complete the delivery. It helps. Also what camera do you use comes out dope?
Yea thanks I've used that before and it didn't show all my pieces so I just pause but I use Gopro hero 10..
What’s the driving test when getting interviewed consist of? I have step 1 tomorrow phone interview
Aye I Appreciate it. I got an interview on Monday for Tampa Area. 🤙🏽💯
No problem and good luck with that I'm out of Port Orange our shuttle drivers deliver to the guys out there
Hey did you get the job buddy? I got a phone interview tomorrow I guess that’s step 1? In Tampa also
Tbh I’m not worried about the physical part of the job. Driving and finding where to park / backing at the stop Is what worries me.
Yea bro we definitely back in some tight spots but they do tell us if it’s too tight don’t try it just park a lil further out but nobody wants to do that

I work for US food in the Bay Area! I’ll run circles around you bro. Nobody can work harder than me
You probably can I don’t sling groceries anymore and even when I was I never was In a competition with anybody I just do me
@yoboy407 what do you do now ?
Can you do a video or explain how you held the two dollies together. That looks like it could save so muck time.
I got you be on the Lookout for it Sunday or Monday
I had to pause to see if i really saw what i saw
There Dollie’s have like a hook almost on the slider you rest the handle on it
@@yepesfam456 I have a Video on that go check it out
i randomly went up to a us foods driver he was in broward he was at new seafood place
7:04 hey bro can you do a video on how you rolled with 2 dollies at the same time? I’ve never seen anyone do it! Lol
Yea I have a video I'm posting tomorrow on that
@@yoboy407 hell yeah! I’ve been with shamrock foods for 5 months now I think this would come in handy 👌
Appreciate your vid bro thinking bout applying with them in Port Orange. Im right here in Daytona beach do they hire people with long dreads?
Hy they can’t discriminate against that
hey bro I'm curious, how loud does it get outside the truck? is this a job for people w hearing damage or it gets too loud you think? Appreciate it
It not super loud but remember you can always turn the unit off if it gets too loud
I’m watching you from co Derry in Ireland
🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
What happens if you scan the same case or something for the wrong stop?
It won’t let you scan the same thing twice unless the customer is returning it
good job, bro
What boots do u recommend that are comfortable to do this type of job?
You have to show how you connected those two hand trucks?
Gotcha that should be on my Monday video be on the Lookout for it...be sure to Subscribe and turn on post notifications
Do you still work for them? I see they are paying overtime. How does that work there? Thanks

Thanks man, just put in a app.. do you load your own truck too?
No sir
Thanks for these great informative videos brother, i have a question.
Is your rout changing every day or is it the same for most of the time, how many stops do u do as a driver on average? I wanna join US foods.
When I first started my route changed daily but got my own route before I left
How many years of experience you need to have to apply. ?
I have an ON THE PHONE INTERVIEW with us foods today and wanted to know if I would be taking to a recruiter ?
Most likely it will be a manager or supervisor
@@yoboy407 ok and what drug test do they do ? I can pass a urine test but it’s only been 7 months of me not smoking so idk if my hair contains thc
I only know in FL they only do urine
you think they hire people who just recently got their CDL?
i applied & the application says “ in consideration”
Sometimes they do it just depends on how bad they need drivers and the location
So you have the same route everyday?
Good content bro what's the starting pay for us foods
$25 per hour until you get on component pay
Do you have a GoPro mounted to your hand truck?
No it was in my hand wish I would’ve thought about that though
First time in your video I loved I work for MARTINBROWER I don’t have to work that much
But believe or not you motivated me
Thanks
Np Bro glad I can help out
What area do you work out of and how much do u make your first year there
Every driver doesn’t make the same cause of different routes but I’d say you can make at least 75k a year
And I’m out of Port Orange FL
Good exercise plus you making good money
How many stops you guys have on average
10 to 12
Us foods uses the same scanner as GFS.
Yea I noticed most food service companies use the same scanners...what's crazy is we just changed over to them last August i believe
love the way your videos are the way you do it part 1 or part 2 big time stops for you
Appreciate the feedback
Does all the delivery drivers drive a 36” trailer?
No we have 28,36 and 48ft trailers
Bet, I just got my Class A CDL license with automatic restrictions, I was thinking about applying, it’s look’s like hard work but that’s not a problem I’m not lazy, but do you all really work 12-14 hours a day?
Just curious on average how many hours do you work a week?
At least 60 hours a week
I was curious because I have an interview on Friday and really interested. I was hoping are 55 - 60 at most
