hey guys ! I'm new to the forum. My name is Deonte and I'm out of Atlanta! Currently I work for swift and I have 9 months of clean experience. My 1 year contract will be up with swift in August , which is when I plan to apply to a food service job. (Giving me one year of clean experience)My record is spotless.
Do I have a good shot at getting one of these jobs with one year experience?
Im aware that good service is an active and hardworking job. However I'm in pretty good shape . Im 6'2 and 205 lbs muscular and lean and I always stay physically active (yeah I'm that weirdo truck driver you see in the middle of a Walmart or truck stop parking lot working out! )
I'm no stranger to the hard work because I've done farm work and worked at multiple warehouses before ,also some restaurants where I helped the food service guy!
Here in Atlanta there are plenty of food service carriers here . However I have my eye on PFG, Sysco,GFS and U.S Foods. ( I invite you to name more good companies that are worth considering that I may have missed in my research)
How and when should I apply to these companies ? Because I really want to get off the road in August , so I was thinking I should maybe apply in June or July so my application has time to be processed so I'm not stuck at this job I hate for any longer than I have to be past August .
With these food service carriers I expect to be working 4-5 days a week but still gross $1000+ A week. Are my expectations realistic for a driver with one year of experience coming in?
Also what advice would you have for a noob? Thank you guys !
