This is good news...I love riding out in the desert

Multi stops is not a prob...where I work now we can have as many as 13 drops on a trailer....the extra money is nice.

As long as they give you enough time to do them legally it is ok with me

They seem to want the one year reefer experience because it is a very

difficult aspect of trucking...they dont want you to hire on and quit a week later because of all the b/s involved in the food industry.

I dont think they mean one year of operating the unit itself.

Food World is tough....late nights...crazy hours...nearly impossible sometimes

to make these food loads play out correctly.

I was with Marten and it was very stressful and fatiguing way of life...not for the faint hearted
