i wasn't aware of that
I remember going to the paint store with a trailer load of 5 gallon buckets of paint that was hand unload when I was back in the city .... loved it
Just so everyone knows you make good money as long as you hold out but as you do sysco finds ways to cut your pay, been with them 8 yrs and have watched it happen. they close my wharehouse and offered all drivers jobs at other locals but with pay cuts n now union dues been in the grocery wharehouse for 30 yrs total now making close to 10 grand less with pay cut. yes benifits are good and thats about it. they only look at the numbers even though they call you family , I was always under the impression work smarter for more pay not harder till you drop i think slavery was abolished years ago
Trucker 386, where was your opco that Sysco shut down?
I'm jealous GT.
Stay Frosty
Hey GT I know what ya mean. When I drove for saia I was very unhappy. Then I got hired on at Gordon Foodservice (gfs) and I love the company. I don't throw groceries I got thrown into a shuttle gig right away which is fine. I can transfer to days when a opening is there but they make 200 dollars more a week then I do so I might just stay. I also don't deal with my bosses there 7 hrs away from my yard and its soooo nice. I'm glad you love your job. Not many people can say that no more and I'm happy I can say it now to.
In these economic times...Its nice to read this tread. You fellah's are Blessed.
Have a Great Weekend ...also !!
Your right Woody, I remind myself of just that when things turn to ::, it could be so very much worse, this is the very reason I don't burn bridges, any one of my supervisors would hire me back with an opening, I try to leave myself options, I run alot of downtown Tulsa, its real heartbreaking to see our homeless, it would be rough to have to live like that, your right on the money about the blessings.
I love you too Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thats a Great way "To look at it" GT !!....
Hopefully you will be hear to correct my behaviour on TB. I have been in "tons" of trouble since you left me alone..
You handsOme MaN ..You....
Come on Oklahoma drivers!! Someone needs to have a good job..give me a shout, I'm tired!! We need good men to deliver groceries, I am tired of working all these hrs, LOL!!!
Dang, in this economy you guys STILL didn't fill that opening? There for a little while they were telling us that there was 15-18 drivers a DAY applying for our jobs due to the economy. Amazing, I would of thought someone would have jumped on that gig there.
Stan, you know the drill, no one wants to work, everyone wants to whine about being out of work or working for minimum pay, but when confronted with a really great union job with real great benefits and the best pay of all the foodservice companies around, they don't want it because the work is to hard...sing me a sad song, I'm getting ready to turn 44 this summer, I have my problems, got an ankle that stays swolen, hands that stay numb, but I do what I have to do, plus I love this work, I'm not lazy, never have been afraid of hard labor, I have always embrassed it.
No one wants to really work, everyone wants max pay for minimum effort, sometimes it just doesn't work that way. This is the best job going for someone that don't mind hard work for better than an honest days pay!!
I can't begin to tell you how many $11.00 per hr guys have approached me about working here, I give them the bosses # and they never call, the thing is, its really not that hard on a person once they get used to the work and they learn the system and the product, yea I have my bad days where I cant even heave the groceries out the back, but 98% of the time things come off really fast and really smooth!!
