So much depends on the location you work. I worked at two locations for a total of 32 years before retiring at 55 years old. At both locations the transportation manager and the night shift warehouse managers were dedicated AF to seeing that the trucks were loaded well, and seeing that most routes were set up where you could keep that truck rolling without being held up. For pretty much my entire career I pulled the same routes every week. The longer you pull the same routes the faster you get at them. I almost always worked 50 to very low 50 plus hour weeks and averaged around 110K a year. I had plenty of family time. I was going to work most mornings at 4 or 5, off by 2 or 3. Had plenty of family time. Shit, I never found the work that damn hard. I still worked out at a gym or at home three to four times a week. I retired with no chronic back or knee issues. I was also with Sysco when the stock was going through the roof, and my 401K was going nuts for years during the dotcom era, as well as other good markets. I retired with my pension, stock, 401K, and personal IRA's that were just a few thousand shy of 2 million. Hell, I'm bringing in retired almost exactly what I made while working. No debt, and even still saving and investing these days. I'm 62 years old now and still haven't tapped into Social Security yet. Probably gonna start drawing it at 65. The last couple of years Sysco started micro managing a little more and I found that annoying, but overall, I have to admit, I feel like I'm living the dream now and Sysco gave me that opportunity.
I’m 36 and currently work for us foods..I’m studying now to get my CDLS to become a driver..I should have been became a driver idk what I was thinking..I was a selector now forklift operator..I use to the physical work…any advice?
@@goodmanners_7164 Food service delivery isn't for everyone. But, as I mentioned in the above, at both locations I worked at we had damn good night warehouse managers that made sure the trucks were loaded well. We also had routes set up where you had very little wait time and you could stay busy and get your route over with. But, all these guys whining about it will destroy your back and your knees, maybe they have crappy genetics. I'm 5'9", 150-ish pounds, lean and athletic. I'm now 63 and still don't have any sore joints or back issues from my time at Sysco. Even at 63 years old I know I could still do the job, but at the risk of sounding arrogant, I made so much money on my 401K, stock, personal saving, and retirement, it made no sense to keep working. If a fairly hard day's work doesn't scare you, it's not a bad job.
Two year contract is ridiculous, It doesn't cost that much to get a CDL and if you are unemployed most unemployment offices will pay for your CDL training.
I have friends that are truck drivers and they do well financially but they work long hours and sometimes out of province to the USA...but most of them love their job.
@@aaronrodriguez1410 when they begin forcing us in during busy season the union will step in but honestly most guys that go there want the OT . I will say our union is one the best though ! Not sure about supervisor income other than the fact that they’re salary .
@@JP.nikesox13 Depends on where they work, how big the operation is, etc. I retired at 56 years old from Sysco, one of my fairly close friends was the night shift warehouse manager. I retired really well and I do travel a lot. Ha, the friend of mine retired about 2 years after me and seems to stay on the road year round. Some of it in a very nice RV, other times in hotels. I never get into personal shit like asking what he made, but I'm serious AF, the guy has a beautiful home, top of the line pickup truck and Harley, and literally the guy probably spends nine months a year vacationing! I do recall decades ago I was close to one of the girls that was our local company president's secretary. She confided in me that he was making over 300K with his salary, bonuses, and stock options. Ha, I never gave a shit what he made as long as I was paid well too! Nothing like his money, but I was happy!
Like with any other job, it gets easier. You earn what you put in with that company. 1400 is just the minimum payout they give for the week. I know you guys want numbers, so anywhere from 90k to the very few who get up to 200k.
I mentioned my 32 years with Sysco earlier on this video. I guess maybe 6 or 7 years before I retired the transportation manager called me into the office and offered me a gig where I would be picking up groceries all over our region beginning on a Sunday night, and getting off on Friday. Even had it set up where I could possibly sleep in my own bed at home twice during that week. We played around with the numbers and I could have easily made 200K a year. It was tempting AF to take the job. I'm just not well suited for OTR life. Ha, no fucking way I could sleep well in a sleeper with a f*cking reefer cranking all night long!
Maybe that is after taxes, though he didn’t specify. $100k yearly (grosss) divided by 52 would equal $1,923 weekly, which should be around $1,400 after taxes.
everybody's situation is different. Single guy with no dependents has more taken out then a married guy with children, so it's a meaningless number without that detail.
He’s in a union. So his health benefits and retirement are covered. Safe to assume $1,400 gross, but he did say thats on the low end. I work for Sysco as well. When school is out I gross about $1,400. Now it’s more like $2,200.
i apply and they offer me a letter of job offer but i’m just kinda worry about the pay how much do you make your first week after training ? i wanna make close to 1600 cause i after taxes all ima have is 1000😢 at my old job i was getting pay 2.2k a week and take home was 1600 but i mess up there and can’t find anything like it
