How much does a bread route salesman make?

Answer 1

$100,000.00

I work for Franz bakery as a Route Salesman and a bread man typically makes anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000. This really all depends on what route you get, what percent commission you make off each loaf and a few other things. The RI routes that take premium product into the restaurants usually make 8% on each loaf and the retail routes usually make anywhere from 5-7%. There are many factors that come into play when we are talking about bread sales and volume; you have location, size of set at a grocery store and displays, up-sales and menu size at restaurants and weather for both. The hours are hard to get use to (2am start and usually 8 to 12 hour days), split days off and dealing with cranky receivers/kitchen managers. But other than that, depending on what company you work for, retirement is great and benefits are also great through the teamsters union. **A Cosctco route salesman typically earns $100-150 a year!

Answer 2

I have been a bread man for 18 years now...salary and benefits depend on how big of a route you service daily...benefits depend on union or non union..What company you work for also makes a big difference in salary as different companies sell more bread in different areas than others...in the Midwest with a good route 35k-85k...I average 72k a year
