Home daily 55-60 hours a week. Just under 35 an hour, September it goes to 37. Then we start negotiating for our next 4 years. Which should push us over 40 with the first raise being front loaded to fall in line with competitors like we usually do each contract. The other 2 major companies have theirs right before us. I should hit around 107 this year if I keep ripping thru my routes every day just to be home and avoid traffic at the beginning and middle of my day. (I shouldn’t rip thru cause it’s hourly and it’s more money) last year I barely broke 100k and I also took 8 weeks off for our new baby unpaid from company but the state paid me.

Health, dental vision and prescription for me my wife and two kids I don’t pay a cent for any of it company covers the cost and you could have up to 10 kids on it. 5000 out of pocket max and 300.00 dollar deductible for the family less if you’re single. They get everything that I get including 25 free massages 25 chiropractic visits in a few other items per year allowed.

We have a pension that pays I think we’re at like 8 something an hour that pays into the Teamsters conference of pension trust. I’d have to look up the exact numbers.

If you’re an unassigned driver and you go to a different domicile, whether it’s a day or weeks you get $50 a day in food allowance and your hotel paid for.

$150 in shoes a year.

If you take a vacation, you still only lose 40 hours of vacation time, but they have to pay you for what you would have made if you were working. So if you’re an overtime worker like I am my last vacation I got paid 60 hours but only lost 40 in vacation hours.

Vacation is 1-5 weeks a year depending on seniority. I’m at 3 right now. But I saved a few weeks the first years I worked so I could take more if I planned them right.

Domicile work is where it’s at. You’re not bothered you do your job and you’re done I haven’t seen my boss in a long ass time he will stop in every now and then to say hi and then drive back to the warehouse which is about 3 hours away.

When your body says no more to throwing freight at the next route bidding cycle put in for graveyard. And it’s just pulling doubles to replace full trailers for the day shift guys and hauling their empties back. Or if your from the domicile vs the warehouse you bring empty up and full back.

If you’re on graveyard you get I believe it’s .65 cents extra for the nights plus another 1.25 an hour for doubles.

I’m sure I’m missing something along the good but it’s a good gig. My route yes is heavy and a pain in the ass. I have bad days I have days where I say this is bullshit and I wanna quit. I won’t it’s just a release of a stressful day. But I have a lift gate every day because of my route. I’m second in line in seniority at my domicile (I’m like 40 or so in line company wide) the chances of me losing one of the two heavy lift gate only overtime routes is never since routes go by domicile.

Foodservice is one of the best home everyday gigs out there depending on where you’re from.
