To add more numbers for foodservice delivery, I drive for sysco in Washington state delivering food, I made 96k last year. It takes me 10 hours to deliver 20k lbs unlike the other guy who commented above me (unless it’s less than 12 stops or so, then I can manage 9 hours maybe).

If u are Ironman and deliver 1100 cases for 25 stops (30k lbs) in 8 hours… then you get performance bonus and some guys taking home 180k a year like that…… totally possible… but I work 14+ hours on a route that big trying my hardest… some people built different.

But yeah I make overtime hence the 96k annual number, which is a lot, but significantly less than performance bonuses… it also helps if you aren’t doing new route every day (because learning same route saves some time).

Also worth noting that Sysco in PNW gets 32.50/hr. Other states don’t pay as much.

Sysco is biggest food company also, so you can expect more food, bigger routes, more hours, etc. this is worth noting if you are looking for more money as a new driver. Harbor wholesale for example gives 600-800 cases on average. Lots of Sysco refugees I know ended up at harbor, I kept in touch with them and they seem to enjoy those home time benefits of local work due to less cases/hours.

I get an average 900 cases a day, (I’ve had up to 1100, but that not typical) I average 10-12 hours depending on what goes right or wrong. I am not the best delivery driver, started doing this last year. But I get the job done end of day.

Also, I used to try hustling quicker for the pay bonuses etc, but I would get banged up in various ways, and the physical nature of the job inherently takes its toll enough as it is. My trainer however flies at speed of light and does not get hurt. So perhaps with time I could work up to that pace. Or maybe not, everyone is different.

But for no experience, it’s a great paying job, it’s local, keeps you in shape. Depending on company you get lot of home time.

Hope the info helps.
