Yes Sysco does suck.
KICKME---On what basis does Sysco suck? ru a Sysco employee? If so, what area?
I did shuttle for them for 4 months.... The pay sucked!! I was lucky to bring home a $1,000 every 2 weeks. i had to adjust to the pay... my last job i was making atleast $1,200 a week(line driving)!!! the equipment sucks so bad!!! The worst company i have ever driven for.
Here shuttle pay is $806.00 per week I believe, that doesn't include wait time and all the other extras, they are making $1000.00 per week easy.
Who does PFG deliver to? Chains or ma and pa?
Thats not bad at all...
All I can say is that I have delivered to them and I never saw such a bunch of disrespectful folks in my life. They treat you like crap while you are there doing their work sorting and segregating the lousy junk they ordered.
Been there myself, when I was running P&D. We called that stack and sort crap, "Ti-HIghing", back then.
In fact one of the reasons I quit my job as a P&D driver was the bad additude and the lack of respect shown by my supervisor, everytime I made a delivery to the SYSCO foods warehouse.
He just didn't get the "hurry up and wait" procedures in place there.
Albertson's/Lucky's was WAY lots faster unloading then the chumps at SYSCO foods ever dreamed of being (not that they would), once I got to know a few of the honchos there.
Hell, drop and hook as a line driver is WAY lots easier then dealing with the inside scum at a grocery warehouse like SYSCO.
(Not intended as a flame against the SYSCO drivers, BTW)
Ranger, I doubt and Sysco driver would take it that way, driver and warehouse are 2 different animals and are totally seperate, even when I worked for Tankersley and was out of the dist. facility the only real dealings I had with the warehouse was with the driver check in man.
I understand that but sometimes people take it personally.
I don't have much to do with the dock and forklift drivers at RDWY, just the TM's, dispatch and the switchers, but some union boys take it the wrong way and SYSCO is a union shop out here in CA.
Don't want my brothers and sister union drivers thinking bad about the old Ranger309.
Lots of Grocery warehouses are the pits and I have seen OTR guys perp-walked out of some facilities by security or the police, after they found out they had to break down the load, sort, stack it and shrink-wrap it, and went ballistic.
Lots of times its thier own companies fault for not telling them that they unload, or pay lumpers, to unload the freight.
