    I'm still With my trainer. Training pay is as promised and if you train on DG you also make an extra 50.00 on your paycheck. I should be getting my own truck in a couple weeks.

    Stick with dedicated if you can. OTR has dried up quick. Last week was 1800 miles. Can't eat out here on that

    Sorry it's been so long, been busy. Anyway I should be finishing up with my trainer this coming week, and being assigned my own truck. The training is really good and I'm glad I got the trainer I did, I actually learned a lot, I'm excited but kinda nervous to be on my own, this dollar general account is not bad , it sucks right now being in Florida in June but I carry cold water, Gatorade and the truck and stores have ac on so I'm good, I think being in Florida my whole life has helped with that haha. Everything has been good at Werner so far, fire some questions at me, I got nothing to do this weekend. Lol

    What DC will you work out of? Have you heard how the OTR guys are doing, because it seems to me that freight is slowing and the economy is also slowing

    I work out of alachua, fl. I haven't heard anything about otr. I know we're busy as can be. The dollar accounts are begging for drivers. Some of us are doing double runs because of the shortage of drivers. I don't know about the otr guys, I don't really see them

    I know a man that is 60 yrs old and works dollar general for Averitt . He uses a small like rake tool to get the boxes off the top of the roll containers. He said it beats climbing.LOL
