    I had heard some great things from drivers but I decided that in no way would I ride as a team with another student driver for any amount of time. Well the recruiter told me that wasn't the case they can offer me a dedicated route where I would train with a driver running dedicated and I would be good to go. I know if recruiter offers dedicated red flags come up. So I ask which one and was told Dollar General and I thanked her and told her I wasn't interested.

    I believe if drivers do 215 hours of training, drivers don't have to team.

    The company has a lot of other dedicated accounts. Most of them are offered to current drivers.

    Yeah I know but if current drivers don't take the route there is a reason. I was told by my recruiter that only if I took the dedicated I could not have to team with another student. Maybe the recruiter was just trying to sucker me into the Dollar General dedicated.

    Curious to know what the global xpress day cab pup drivers get paid for LTL. Very few around my AO.

    Xpress Global drivers pay isn't that great.

    Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc are all not worth the pay.

    Why is it that so many people take what one person says about something as being gospel? why is it that someone who is new to the industry, thinks they can just walk in like they own the place and are going to do what they want to do? isn't you asking for an opportunity?
