    For those of you who want the low down on furniture Row express out of Denver,Co.Is they will lie to you to try and get you to come on board with them just like other compaines will.But F.R, Will tell you the Orientation is 1 and a Half days....LIE! Its 3 to 4 days and you will sleep in a truck those days on the yard with No pay,No meals,No showers and also they Do Not Pay for Sunday Layovers anywhere at anytime....So the deal is you are required to Work Sundays,Holidays And go thru Orientation At your Expense with no pay...I have been trucking for 26 yrs OTR ..

    I knew a couple of people who worked for them on the retail side. They lie and work those people to death as well. One friend was working 50-60 hours a week and bringing home about $350 after taxes. They have a huge turnover rate!

    Most of us out here make 800-1200 a week simply driving the truck. Man you would have to be real stupid to lump freight AND drive for less than a 1000 dollars a week and on top of that driving a beat up truck.

    Why would anyone think their transportation division is any better than any of the rest of their operation? Come on man, furniture companies are notorious rip offs anyhow, and this one, (from what I've seen here locally,) is one of the worst.
     
    Dna Mach Thanks this.

    You DO NOT have to LUMP freight here...actually if you are caught LUMPING your own load it is AUTOMATIC termination.
