@Christopher Pape it'll depend on where you're based, but tbh now I think a lot of the problems I've heard about sysco are just prevalent in the food distribution industry in general. First stops being buried underneath later stops, questionable equipment. The pay seems to be legit though. I went with a small regional company and make $100k with a little bit of overtime. If you can handle the labor sysco does seem pretty good relative to the industry. Do your research on the terminal local to you though. Glassdoor and indeed are great

If the hotel wants to nickel and dime you, I would just have your company use another hotel. If you were a guest of the hotel would they still charge you to stay? Some places charge for parking and some don’t. Now if you don’t have a room then it’s perfectly understandable that they want you to pay $$ for parking. If they can go without the $$ your company spends putting their drivers up then maybe you have more power than you think by using your spending power to go somewhere else...the greed of these places is totally out of control sometimes. I don’t know as much about this situation so I’m just giving my two cents.

Why does this have to be so difficult with this company did you have the same problem getting hired by this company?

Well the pay really isn't one answer. Some locations are on component pay, which is pay by stop pay by mile and pay by case, others could be hourly. I think everybody's rates are just a little bit different depends on where you go. The trucks are governed at 68, some trucks go 70 on cruise.
