    I’ve been interviewed by all 3 and extended a job by McLane and possibly the other 2 by next week. My thoughts:

    McLane: they have a $3,000 gross minimum guarantee as long as you accept every load they give you. Bi weekly pay.

    US foods: Hourly pay, starting at $32 an hour. Bi weekly.

    GFS: Minimum guarantee pay of $1250 a week gross pay, weekly pay.

    If anyone has any experience with these companies let me know! Thanks.

    I've seen McLane with 2 drivers, which would help with deliveries and resting etc. Are all 3 home daily ? Could be an overnighter with hotel paid.

    US Foods are almost exclusively Union, they are supposed to be up for contract renewal I think next year, if it follows like the past, they will probably strike first

    How did you ever hear from mclane? I can apply at 3 different locations within 20 mins and have 3 “were pursuing other candidates” email back within 12 hours. It’s really getting old lol.
    I’m curious to see who you go with and why. Maybe influence my decision on my next step. Good luck!

    Mclane is almost all night shifts and chain restaurants, us foods is day shifts but early morning and they just got a big union raise. I would go us foods since they’re hourly McClane is piece work which always screws the driver

    With Mclane ,, is that the grocery side or the restaurant side ? The grocery side delivers to 7-11 mostly and other gas stations and is a team run , I’d never do that gig

    US foods would be your best bet . All 3 are going to test your body though …..

    Welp, late reply but I ended up going with US foods as they were hourly pay, unlike McLane who used a pay scale system that starts me at the bottom. McLane is also predominantly team, which I don’t have an issue with but prefer to ride solo if i can help it. GFS actually never reached out to me post interview but USF and McLane messaged me at around the same time post interview with the job offer. Ended up doing the DOT exam for both but ultimately decided for USF. Thanks for the replies everyone.
