    Family Dollar accounts ... usually plenty of work, plenty of city (crowded suburbs, etc.) driving and tight spots (sometimes not conducive for a newbie, others times it's just what the doctor ordered) and you WILL stay in shape. Lots of irregular hours. I know a driver who is making decent money doing them but he runs and runs and runs.

    Make sure your trainer lets you back as much as possible.I think you have to do a lot of backing from narrow streets into the parking lot because many of those stores are too small to turn around.

    Yea, PattyJ is right on with her advice from what I heard. Lots of tight areas and plenty of backing and tight maneuvering. Get your practice while you can.

    the lesser of evils. There seems to be more encouraging reports than other entry level CDL A companies in and around Dallas. I am particularlly discouraged by Steven's Transport and cannot find anything more encouraging about anyone else. The reality is that I need a job and cant find anything better
