Also, I spoke to a few companies and they are saying drivers avg in the mid 60K to 70K. You will work probably 70 hours but is this true? Is that because its the NE?

60k-70k:Once you get a couple years in and get a good paying route. Starting try high 40's to low 50's if your home daily and mid 50's if you run regional.
As for 70 hours a week, I have never even come close to that and I use to go from Pittsburgh to NJ twice a week. Averaged around 54-56 hours a week. Now, if you are on a local route in the area that you live in, it might be close to 70 hours.
As for the two years experience, fill out an app at some of these places and see what happens. Some of them may take you right out of school if the school has a good rep. Foodservice deliver is a hard job and alot of drivers quit after the first week. The company that I work for is part of UPS and requires two years experience BUT they have hired drivers right out of school. We go through drivers like water. It takes the right kind of person to do this job; they got to be CRAZY like me. Four years of foodservice delivery and counting! :D
Any more questions feel free to ask.
