    I saw the other day they had an ad posted saying they delivered to a retail chain? Anyone have any info about the job or who they are contracted to?

    Hi Hometown, If it's out of Eau Claire, and this is just speculation, but it's probably either Wal-Mart or Menards.

    I know for a fact it's not Menards because as of right now I am a company driver for them and they are not contracted with us. And I don't think it would be Walmart either because I think it would be based out of Menomonie, WI where the DC is. Plus Weiner does a lot of the contracting for Walmart up here.

    Holy crap! Just looked at the ad again and they updated it to say it's contract work for Menards. Looks like I will be out of a job pretty quick. They are having a hiring fair for it... you know what that means.

    Hi Hometown, so you are saying you are a company driver for Menards and they are bringing in outside carriers and doing away with you? If that's true, that's sad, and I think there will come a day, soon, when there won't be such a thing as a "company driver".

    If that plays out like the way it sounds that's pretty classy of them if they haven't even talked to the company drivers about it. I'd think they'd talk to you guys even if they're going to keep you just to put your mind at ease. Didn't Menards just get some different trucks with CNG though?

    Yeah we did but that does not mean they will not just sell them back. We only have 14 company trucks here and about 30-35 drivers.

    I just dont know how they can afford Ruan. They usually pay their drivers pretty well which means not hauling cheap crap
