it seems like US Foods does not have a standardized format for road tests, i think it will depend on your safety guy at the terminal that you are applying for, and a bigger question will be HOW BAD do they need more drivers. I know we are always looking for drivers in Buffalo, because many people don't want to do this much physical labor. So if you can keep from hitting things, and turn corners and shift, if they need work done, they will probably take you!
We gotta think on our feet alot, its just part of the job.
Welcome aboard Peteman1999, seems you have one of the best jobs in foodservice, congrats on that! I don't think its anything that Energizer can't handle, if he has a little experience, Sysco made me drive about 4 miles and that was it, I don't think there is a tougher road test anywhere than at Wal-Mart, and this ain't Wal-Mart, the way I understand it from friends that work there, the road test will getcha it your skills aren't up to par.
Thanks GroceryThrower. I have been here for a good while now and I love this job. Last year I made about 82k. Great benefits, dispatch will work with you if you need time off for anything. I will try to post some pics this week coming up. I work out of the Manassas Va location.
buffalobill said:sounds like the load planners take advantage of guys....You guys seriously don't get any breaks in the beginning or ends of your shift, or a lunch break?
They don't tell you that you can't but they do not schedule one no. What I do is its a 100 mi from my last stop, so i get the route done then I eat on the way back. I bring my lunch its like sandwiches and chips. Eat on the run. I do have stops that will feed you and give you drinks.
Hey peteman I also work for Martin Brower. I work out of the Fridley MN location. I have a few questions for you
1. Are you guys union? We are
2. Do you guys have forced dispatch? We do and we always get forced on are days off. We work 6-7 days a week and 70 hrs a week. Is it the same there?
3. How many stops do you have on your trucks?
