Pros

Money is good but you have to kill yourself to make good money here

Cons

Communication sucks. Favoritism at a all time high. The way the warehouse loads the trucks is ridiculous, You spend more time looking through the warehouse mess than actually doing your job. Routes are constantly running late. You arrive to work at 4:00-4:30 and some routes aren’t ready until 7-9 in the morning. In that case your not getting off until 7-8 at night. Complete bs show at the Missouri City location. Supervisors always short you on your money as well.

Pros

Decent home time and decent trucks

Cons

Food service ramps are broken/busted up. They don’t like spending any money to fix equipment so they can get a bonus at the end of the year. Long, long hours and low pay for breaking your back. Horrible management that only favors a handful of drivers(good ole boy system). Goes by a “no seniority policy” so if you been there 10yrs, you’re still equal to a 1month driver. Drivers that have been here for years can’t request a team route, but they will put a new rookie with no experience on team routes.
