I just finished my orientation with McLane (Driver Trainee) TODAY. I'm going through their CDL academy. This video is SO helpful man. I know it's going to be a crazy couple of months with learning everything. I was choppin' it up with one of vet drivers today. He showed me his pay stubs on his phone, and boy I almost had a heart attack. PHD money. Food service is no joke. Those salary sites aren't accurate lol. MOTIVATED me so much. Ready to crush it!
@@gravesvintage glad I could help you out man trust me it will be rewarding when you start doing routes on your own and making extra money 💵 but congrats as well! Hope you make it through on that my brother
@FoodService Driver i have 3 years cdl driving all together. I worked at us foods for 4 months and another foodservice account with jb hunt (cicis pizza) for about 7 months. What pay grade you think they'll start me at?
@FoodService Driver man i loved it but they stopped putting me on cicis routes. They had me doing amazon, rail yards and other accounts. Got tired of that
I guess every food service company is different but all the major companies always have extra board just in case for people who can’t make it they have someone to cover the routes but that’s good that you never heard of it so you’ve been blessed
@@outsid33 honestly bro I don’t think it’s possible because I have had a few trainees that was trying go to school and do this type of work and didn’t work out for them at all. Because FoodService have a hectic schedule your times off going be different. Your not going be off at the same time everyday and your not going be going into work the same time all the time. It may be around the same time but it’s hectic. Unless your really disciplined then yeah but realistically no. Like I said it would be really hard man because of the aspect of the job. Not trying to discourage you but I’m just keeping it real
@@FoodServiceDriver I appreciate your feedback bro. I talked to a supervisor at Mclane on the phone. He said he can get me on 4 days and 1 day extra board. I think I could only do classes if my days off stayed the same. He said he would work with me. I’m gonna call him again
Hey im about to interview for US Foods and sysco. Sysco is 15 mins away and $2500 sign on, us foods is $5000 sign on and 25 minutes away. Which one should I take? Similar pay, us foods starts $1/hr higher.
That 5k sign on could also be a warning....overwork is quite possible and could mean they have trouble retaining workers! All money isn't good money...I've been in food service for 18yrs.
Hey whats up man, I just got hired at McLane in Columbus ohio. I've been looking at all of your videos and appreciate the tips you been dropping. Keep up the great work man.
Depending on your injury if you have an injury and do office stuff then you will be on light duty on hourly pay (depending on the hourly pay where you work at), but if you can’t work and your hurt if your at the company over a year they will pay you short term disability if not then you will be on leave (UNPAID). But if you get injured on the job then you get workers comp which is a joke to be honest. Hope that helps
@@FoodServiceDriver I just moved to Orlando. Im going to apply for them next year. I'm doing Dollar General right now driving and unloading. That money will do me some good plus I like to be gone alot. Only thing is Im used to having my own route. I don't like doing no one else's.
@@hareemobduljawon when you first start you’ll either be on extra board or have your own route. Once you bid on a route then that route will permanently be yours and no one else’s...I see people get their first route when they start or they will wait couple months before they do but it’s not really long & Orlando is a good spot they stay busy down there
@@FoodServiceDriver I’m currently In school until June and McLane is the route I’m going so I needed to know that. My school will test in manual but I prefer Automátics for sure f**k all that double clutching and shit I just want to DRIVE and GOO I don’t not care for the restrictions I’ll get I’m comfortable with a automatic any given day of the week da hell with a manual 💯 good look man
@@eurostep2530 no problem & that’s what’s up man McLane is all automatics except for few locations that will have manuals but they’re phasing them out. & that’s what’s up man pass your test & make this money lol
Basically a bid is where all the routes are open and they put it out there for everyone to see. It will tel you how much cases they average per day, the amount of stops, as well as the miles you will be driving per day, as well as how much money that route pays per week. After that they will call drivers 1 by 1 asking them what routes they want it basically goes of seniority (meaning the person who been there the longest) and it goes all the way down till all the routes are chosen. After that you basically will be on extra board if you wasn’t chosen to have a route
Depends every location has different stores but the majority is Pizza Hut, kfc, Taco Bell, Buffalo Wild Wings, long John silvers, A&W, chick Fil a & much more
@Julius Reed ... I got a interview there in the morning for driver trainee... what kind of questions they ask in your interview and how you like working there
All love bro! With sysco do they contact old employers with the background check I’m not worried about criminal history. How long does a background check take with sysco.
It all depends some companies they will & some they don’t but they just do it for verification for your driving history that’s all & it’s normally anywhere from 1-2 weeks maximum !
Honestly I would go in there and tell them the truth that’s what I did. Tell them how hard of a worker I am and what I can bring to the table and don’t like to disappoint. How much experience do you have ?

Does Mclane work Sundays ? Or only some locations do / don’t
McLane operates Sunday Night - Friday Night. It’s majority overnight work sometimes you may run into the day but it will be early morning.

@@FoodServiceDriver do u think realistically it would be possible with Mclane? To do some school in the day and work at night

What happens if you get an injury during work? Is there light duty with pay if so what do you do? Or do you go on leave unpaid?
Depending on your injury if you have an injury and do office stuff then you will be on light duty on hourly pay (depending on the hourly pay where you work at), but if you can’t work and your hurt if your at the company over a year they will pay you short term disability if not then you will be on leave (UNPAID). But if you get injured on the job then you get workers comp which is a joke to be honest.

What they start you out with your first year as far as money wise ?
Depending on the location your going get anywhere from $60,000 to $70,000

Gotcha. Appreciate it young brother keep doing what you doing.
If you go through their training to get cdl how long are you required to work for them? Is there a contract?
I start with Mclane to get my CDL next week. Over here in WA it's 2 year contract.
1 year
Good Job explaining the extra board. What DC do you run out of ?????
Appreciate it, thank you!

I can talk to people I know & see but I don’t know much about grocery mostly about FoodService

All love bro! With sysco do they contact old employers with the background check I’m not worried about criminal history. How long does a background check take with sysco.

Hey man love these video i have and interview on Monday 15th, any advice ?
Honestly I would go in there and tell them the truth that’s what I did. Tell them how hard of a worker I am and what I can bring to the table and don’t like to disappoint. How much experience do you have ?
My husband is at mclane in Milwaukee, has been there for 6 months and just got a route because someone randomly quit 😂
You see if you wait long enough you will be blessed but that’s good lol. Atleast he gets a schedule now
Greetings, I started Mclane on sunday. May I have your email. I do not want to fail, so I need some structure.
Speed will come with experience
Dont get injured
Do not get into an accident
Dont call out
Be on time
