I have been doing foodservice delivery for a # of years now. Looking for something a little easier on the body, closer to home and with some flexibility. I asked myself what the senior drivers are doing now if that's something I really want to do in the years ahead and I keep saying no it's not. I find most companies just don't want to pay for 20 plus years of experience. Most of what I'm finding is in the high teens and not having to work weekends, with the exception of line haul Saturday mornings return. XPO is the closest to home, working the extra board.
The idea of starting over being bottom / utility guy doesn't sound great. It's a pay cut to start, not to mention schedule change for family. Losing all the benefits, and all the seniority would come at a cost.
I would just appreciate some feedback. I know the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side. I haven't talked to any XPO drivers on the street either, but I do have an offer to work.
