- In today’s video I talk about why some foodservice drivers stop running cases to become shuttle drivers instead. Truck drivers coming into the foodservice game can either be a delivery driver delivering cases to customers or become a shuttle driver. Watch the video to find out why I think some foodservice delivery drivers switch over to become shuttle drivers. Remember to LIKE COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE!!!
Food service is young man's work. Did it with Sysco for 11 years running routes. Now with Old Dominion running linehaul.
Been running cases for 23 years as a Reinhart driver here in Wisconsin. As a growing company, the opportunity to be a shuttle driver is a possibility. Love your channel!
Thanks for watching!
im new to food service, came in straight to shuttle driving. im 2 weeks in at Ben E. Keith in texas. ive got about 20 years doing beer, milk and beverage and i too got burnt out. im making more money, less hours and easy work ... LOVE IT! im set to retire here!
Yeah buddy! Good stuff 👌🏾
Does Ben E Keith pay decent for shuttle position ? I got an interview with them
@@bryantsteven1994 I think it’s more than decent. It all depends on how far you are driving and how many drops you are doing. I drive just a little over 4hrs 1 way. So they pay me for 1 drop but most of my pay is the distance. If they give me an additional stop on the return back, they will pay extra for that additional drop. Some drivers will only travel 1 hr so their pay for that drop is less than me, but they will do several “runs” so that will add up to close to what I get or possibly more. What location are you interviewing for?
I’ve been otr for 7 years. Got a local job offer as a shuttle driver. Going home
I’m 3 months in.. I’ve been doing physical labor for 12 years now though I’m burnt out. I’m going to try to stick with it for a little longer but I’m definitely applying for shuttle driver soon
Food Service driving hits differently because you are driving as well. It really is like having 2 jobs although many don't think of it that way? It's true. Take a sheet of paper and write out everything these jobs entail from start to finish. Blow your mind.
So true bro!!! My brother went from 6 years in food service(running cases) to shuttle driver and doesn't want to come back!!!
Yeah man, it happens all the time.
@@imanthonytv well to be real it can start problems in relationships cuz all you do is work and sleep. If yall not on the same page the foundation will crumble
Facts 💯
Thanks for the information man I just got hired with Sysco as a shuttle driver. I start in a couple of weeks I’m definitely excited.
No problem bro. Congrats! Shuttle is nice! 💪🏾
@@imanthonytv thanks bro 😎.
Was that with no experience?
@@TherapyKutz no experience fresh out of CDL school
I am excited to hear you are going to have Jermayne on for another video. He is such a knowledgeable guy, I learned so much from your first video with him.
Stay tuned..Thanks for watching
💯💯 Facts!! Good video, absolutely what happened to me .
Appreciate you watching my guy! 💯✊🏾
I almost made that mistake but I realize I can run 💪🏽
💪🏾💪🏾
Never did food delivery, always did shuttle
No returns and no damage product, good deal 👍👍
That’s right! 👌🏾
I used to ride with my Pops years ago
GFS has a pretty large drop lot network. I ran cases 7 years for GFS and then became a transit operator at night. I like it. I still have some pallet stops to do once in a while.
I’m 28 I ran cases for 7 years , I’m a shuttle driver now .
Easy money lol 💪🏾
How much different is the pay
what is the difference in pay if you don't mind me asking...I know US Foods, it's like $28.50 for running cases but like $25 for shuttle driver. Please let me know as I just applied for Shuttle Driver.
@@hawaiianboy1743 shuttle driver 26.50 here in central Fl
@@brankomadzarac3319 just gave a $2 raise to the delivery drivers here in Fl they are at $29hr shuttle driver $26.50hr
Video starts @5:00
😂😂😂😂😂 yeah i was wondering what was goin on
I work at Sysco rn I switched after my first month of doing cases it wasn’t for me…I was at the bottom of the performance list it was embarrassing
Nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m glad to hear you’re in a better position that works best for you. That’s all that really matters.
Foodservice drivers stop running cases n become shuttle driver because after so many years running cases it gets old running cases get old really quick n you also start getting older n just don’t feel like running like a young man anymore.I did food service since I got my car at 23 to age 36 then I got do no touch freight and now I wish I ran cases for a few more years but it don’t work that way
What company u recommend me gordon food or performance food group??
Because after u done made your money you’ll let the young guys come run them cases
Yep pass the baton
That’s what I just did with sygma switch me to shuttle
How do you like shuttle? Im having an interview with SYGMA shuttle in Houston next week. Is the pay OK?
I’m a shuttle driver for GFS
How much do pfg shuttles drivers make per hr. Here there is a job posting that says $20.50 per hr during training and after training average $1,500 a week. So I’m thinking somewhere between $25-$28 per hr??
I have no idea but that sounds typical to me. Maybe some PFG guy’s will see your comment and have the answer.
How many hours do you have to work to make 1500 a week? Is it before or after taxes? These are questions you have to consider. Alot of people bragged that make so much money a week but they didn't tell you how many hours they had to put in to make that kind of money.
How much do shuttle drivers get paid at Gordon foods?
Running cases will catch up to you even if it's easy after your body adjusts. Wear and tear you don't need long term. Your body isn't a car you can go trade in when the axles go to hell.
Appreciate the comment.
ShamROCK foods.. One week in..
Thank you Anthony................
Congrats champ..Good luck & thanks for watching

What position makes the most money shuttle driver or Food Service
Shuttle drivers still fall under the food service umbrella if you’re working for a food service company. It’s just a different position but to answer your question the delivery drivers make more money. Shuttle drivers just do drop & hook so much easier job.
@@imanthonytv thank you for your response once I get into it more and get my CDL and learn how to drive a truck that might be an option down the line I have to first get my CDL and learn how to drive a like I said on the video you posted yesterday I start at Sygma Monday I hope I like it cuz I really want to do this I really want to get my CDL and drive thank you for your videos man I tune in every chance I get
@baylor3894 no problem buddy
Started gfs yesterday coming from sysco 5 years
Yes sirrr…GFS in the building! 👌🏾
I just seen you yesterday Antoine Faulkner
Any shuttle run companies work with owner operators?
I have no idea buddy.
Do food guys got it easier than the one that deliver to gas station truck stops.company like ht hackney and core. How is interactions with customer on both sides,as if they help or just stay out of the way or get free food or drinks type of stuff
That’s a good question. I’ve seen core mark & hackney make deliveries and they’re usually dropping off totes of miscellaneous items like cigarettes, tobacco, etc so we may have it a little harder than those guys but they still work hard. I think the customer interactions are similar but those store clerks have to check to make sure they have everything on their invoice before they leave the store in all stores. Foodservice guy’s don’t have to wait on customers to check in the product at every stop so it’s much less interactions with customers. For example all of my stops are key drops meaning I have the keys to the customers I deliver too, so I just unlock the doors after hours and drop off my cases lock up and leave.
@@imanthonytv I use to work for HT Hackney that shit was super easy totes and boxes that's it I was doing it when they was delivering to Tom thumbs but McClain took over the contract
Lol yeah I only see them dropping off totes.
How long are your days? What is your normal start to finish?
Avg around 9-10hrs a day.. I’m on a 2 day route..Day 1 start time around 2am to 12ish..
Day 2 start time 1am to 9:30ish

Congrats bro
So I realized you Gotha get gas on your trip back so you stop at a truck stop for gas?
Yes
when you get your doubles endorsement do you just go back to the dmv and apply for it or is it a complete separate license. because i remember seeing that when i got my permit.
You go back to the dmv & take the doubles test. Once you pass the test they add the endorsement to your license.
That’s interesting in Canada you don’t need any endorsements to haul doubles or b-trains
How they do drug test here ?
Is it Urine testing or Hair testing ? Thank you
I did both when I started 3 yrs ago. Not sure if it has changed since then..
Thank you for the quick response
Also thank you For your awesome videos and advices 🍺
How important do you think dieting is? Doing this line of work? I eat healthy and drink strictly just water for the most part but do you have any suggestions? like what to eat before your shift or afterwards for recovery?
I think healthy eating habits is beneficial to your overall health regardless of the job so if you have the discipline to eat healthy then absolutely do so. However, I’m not on any diet nor do I eat healthy 24/7. I usually eat some fruit or have a protein shake either before my shift or during the route at some point. End of shift I’ll eat whatever I’m feeling at the time. Eating healthy is obviously important to your overall health in general but not necessarily something a person would have to do in order to do the job in my opinion. At least not 24/7.
@@imanthonytv ok bet. Thanks bro
No problem bro 👍🏾
Captain obvious over here
Do you have to have seniority to be a shuttle driver?
No
If a driver been at the company 10 years and another been there 5 years and both apply for the shuttle position who are they going to give it to?
@@dm-ub8me The 10 yr guy. Unless he is on a performance action plan then the 5yr guy would get it.
is shuttle driver home every night ?
Yes
