Good bye OTR

[Cerberus]

I have had enough of OTR off and on for the past 17 yrs and i am so burnt out on it. With everything going on nowdays and truck stop prices and the way these companies treat the drivers , to me it's just not worth it. So i have spent the past few weeks applying to companies that are home every night driving either a day cab or even a box truck. Today it finally broke thru and next wednesday i have to go take a drug test and driving test for US FOODSERVICE . .... Tough work but i have done the restaraunt delivery before and liked it. I 'm really happy about this and had to share it with someone or is that someones ? Any who i hope everybodies day is going as good as mine.

Congrats on the US Foodservice job. This is a great company to work for. I personally wouldn't want to do the restaurant delivery, but it is very good pay for those that do it.

I will never run OTR again as long as there are jobs like this around to do. Better money, more time at home, and the benefits are outstanding

Thanks Moose. I am pretty excited and ready to go. I don't mind the restaraunt delivery part. i did it for 7 years at the farmers market in atlanta and i liked it. I ate at some of the best places for free.

I worked for IJ Foodservice out of Johnson City, TN for 7 years. I never thought I'd do that kind of work (when I had to break down pallets and the like). I made the best of it and found what I liked. Me and a co-driver delivered 12 Wendy's 3 nights a week. It was very hard work, buy enjoyable dealing with (most) the customers. On a side note, since the wendy's gave us free food, I started eating grilled chicken, and in 4 months I lost 90lbs. <--That was 7 years ago, and there's a new job and I'm fat again. I wish I had that job back.

Good luck. It is what you make of it.
