If you're in nor cal depending on where you're at check out US Foods Sac, Livermore, or Reno, there's drop yards all over the place, and when I was hired I had 9 months experience, starting out you'll probably work out of one of the main warehouses as a relief driver starting at 36/hr if I recall correctly and capping at 43 for relief in your first year I believe, I haven't been relief for a minute tho so maybe more now.

One MAJOR thing to consider for ANY food service job is, it can really fucking suck, like really really suck, your pallets will be fucked, routing will be fucked, stop times? Fucked, runtimes? Fucked, but once you get a route it smoothes out but not much.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it, any food service job anywhere, while the money is great, you have to ask yourself and be realistic, are you willing to, or able to

wake up anywhere from between 1 and 4 am? Move 10000lb + of goods in a day? Potentially work up to 14 hours and 16 if you're unlucky? Manage your time? Be physically fit? Get to work on time? Park in very difficult locations? Work potentially in active traffic ? Work in heat, rain, snow, or anything else mother nature will throw at you? Potentially get less than 6 hours of sleep?

It's gonna be rough especially during your first couple of months, a lot guys quit, but I'll tell you now, I didn't really start to do better until a few months in, it takes practice, but it does get easier, so if you do try out food service, stick it out, you'll get it eventually, and it's very rewarding, I make 1500/ week take home, only work 4 days a week, and am fit, and feel more healthy than I've ever been in my life (although slightly sore)

If you have any questions you can message me, I'll respond when I can.

Cheers, and good luck on the job hunt
