CRE, Swift, CRST, JB, and so on, you get my drift.

But how come no one throws out companies like:

MBM
Sysco
Asian Foods
US Foodservice
Stockyard Meats
Northstar Foodservice

Just a thought.

I for one have always thought that using the line of fast food places are hiring as a little idiotic. Any individual who is willing to put in a hard days work (harder then holding a steering wheel) and can deal with the rest of the world looking down on them (just like being a driver) in conjunction with organizing a crew of 20+ to facilitate the dysfunctional feeding of hundreds of people in a very short time span can earn a very respectable paycheck. In fact I would bet that a manager of any Mickey D's in my hometown makes more then 80% of the otr drivers on this board and he/she is home every night.
Its a job and a means for many people to take care of their famlies in short the people who look down on these fast food workers are no better then the dispatcher, receiver, or any other person who thinks driving is a sh.t job...
it's just a job....not a way to define who you are as a person..

Because companies like Sysco, US Foods, Sygma and that have some strict hiring policies(IE:no felonies, no DUI's, DUI at least ten years old,etc). Also, companies like that are NOT DRIVING jobs, which is what everyone asks about. 90% of the drivers out there run from jobs like that.

Sygma is Sysco's sister.


Double R, one thing about Sysco... if you got both arms, and both legs with a clean record, they will hire ya, and train ya, :lol: but if you have anything on your record, like you mentioned, they won't even look at ya.

i agree with double r. i respect him for doing food service but man that seems like alot of work. i know that by the time i spot my dolly in front of my rear trailer i am spent and need a good five or ten minute break...not for everyone. but that does not mean it is not a good or possibly great job, just one that i refer not to do. now that being said. if i lost my job and had to actually go WORK for my money then i would do what i gotta do. if that means flippin burgers or hustling freight down a ramp into a resteraunt, then so be. my family comes before my hapiness.

Once you get the hang of it, and in shape, it's not bad. If you do it right, it's just like getting a work out every day. You could also injure yourself, if not careful. It also does pretty good wear and tear on your body. :lol:

Thumbs up

I know that McD managers make some serious change! Especially from Company operated stores. I know a gal who started working as a counter clerk, at a company McD in high school. She is nowin her early 50's, is the regional manager for McD franchise operations in WA, OR and ID, and knocks down well over $300K a year.

She and the family have been all over the world, on McD's dime, in the best hotels eating the best food, because she hit's the performance marks.
