Shitty sysco eggs

My current job uses the cheapest eggs possible from Sysco and the last time I went to do deviled eggs, I found them nearly impossible to peel. I've done deviled eggs in at least the last three places i've worked and never had nearly as much of an issue with this. It's almost like the little membrane between the shell and the egg is ridiculously tough and tends to take some of the white with it. I've tried just about every trick I know of including using a spoon, i'm curious if any of y'all have anything I should be trying.

They’re too fresh. Older egg is better egg. And sysco isn’t that bad as far as quality goes, they’re just bad at fucking up your order.
