dedicated dollar accounts

I was being begged before my training even ended to get on either dollar general or dollar tree (I trained on dollar general) no thanks they both suck. I went to truck driving school to learn to drive trucks not unload them.
Instead I got on a pretty good dedicated acct. It pays well and I don't have to unload

To the OP if I had to choose I would choose dollar gen. I would rather move those stupid rolltainers than fingerprint every box

 

The nerve of me & my friend getting on a dedicated account right out of Trucking school. I tell you...

 

For the first year they will be for you

 

The Shippensburg terminal sends too many people home over this duck walk. Markham doesn't even do it. People shouldn't do their orientation at Shippensburg.

 

Dont listen to the people that say you cant. Trucking really has a high turn over rate and a shortage of drivers that are willing to work. Just go out and do it again. Check the ltl companies where you live some of them will hire you. I have been driving for years and worked for more than 10 companies and have never had to walk under a trailer. I also live unloaded for years if it pays good I will do it.

 

Depending on where you went to school, I know crete/shaffer trucking have those out 7, home 2.. Or is it out 5 home for 34. Either way.. They pay pretty well and have good benefits. Doesn't NFI have a lot of dedicated or home weekend positions up in your area?

 

I started the dedicated dollar tree account about six months ago. I am a new driver and I must say it challenges you. If you do not want to do manual labor that account is not for you. Once I got into a routine and use to the labor I was fine. The navigating around these stores can be a joke. I have no doubt became an excellent driver from this account. They say it is not for rookies but, if you can do it you will learn a lot.

 

Hey Jon,

I'm going to potentially be on a dedicated account out on the East coast. What's the average pay like for these accounts?
