What kind of delivery? Grocery stores or foodservice(rest.,Pizza shops,etc)
We are slow to and this should be a busy time with new years and all.

Thanks Davenport and Double R

Double R - if you don't mind me asking, who do you work for? If you want to keep it confidential please pm (I can't pm back though).

Right now I was thinking about working for a milk company. Basically have to do 3 overnights getting above 1200 if they took me. Just wondering how many hours I would have to work total. Guy told me to call back after the 9th but I may give a call sooner.

The other I was thinking about was Sygma. They told me it would be 3 overnights also but with a team (not sure how much each guy gets to sleep though). Similar money but seems like it would be around 70hours a week.

The other thing is that the milk job might give me the ability to park the truck and spend the night at home.

I delivered a load of sugar to a Micky D's DC in Chambersburg, PA. Can't remember what the outbound trucks were. I was pre-occupied with slipping my load through that had a non-spec company seal, instead of the "bolt" seal. Them big signs about rejecting loads without the correct seal are BS!!!!!!!

Does anyone know which company delivers for places like Burger King and Mcdonald's (I know SYGMA does Wendy's) in the northeast? I'm specifically from NYC and interested in the surrounding areas.

Thanks

davenport - do you like it? I also got a chance to work for C&S but was liking doing 3 overnights instead of 5-6 days. Who are you pulling for? You guys must go in Manhattan, there's a c-town around the corner from me. I always thought they had straight trucks delivering stuff.

I used to drive for Prairie Farms Dist. delivering McDs in a tri state area and the reason for needing the "right" seals is because corp. McD is afraid of someone contaminating in/out bound product. A load of 42 oz cups came in with the wrong seal and the driver was sent to the land fill to dump the whole load.

i like my job. i do 3 three routes a week and make $1300. I drive for Mclane Grocery Distribution out of Rocky Mount, NC. We only cover NC, some VA, and some WV and some SC. I can't imagine what it would be like delivering in big cities like Manhattan.

Oh what fun it is to back a 48' trailer into a really small parking lot :lol: .
Kimoyo, as for who I work for, PJ Foodservice(Papa John's Pizza) delivering to the stores in DC area twice a week and one trip a week to Columbus,Oh. We run teams out and back, like what Sygma told you they do. As for when you sleep, you split the route with the other driver. One drives out and the other sleeps, and then switch that one the return.
