    That’s the mentality of Wal Mart coolies. They think other good driving jobs simply don’t exist. Yet every time I open my Facebook there’s yet another stupid retarded WMT recruiting ad in my face. I hauled enough junk freight into their DC’s before I wised up and started pulling tanks, to know that’s not a company I would ever be associated with.

    Who in their right mind would slip seat a sleeper truck? That’s just disgusting, keep your $42 dollars a night.

    I agree. Our fuel trucks and pneumatics are usually dispatched for a 12 hour shift. It's very seldom that they run over 12 or even approach it.
    Most of the time the truck is back in the yard in 9 or 10 hours.
    The one exception to this might be during fire season but even then we usually find a way to get another driver on the truck before his hours get excessive.
    Why burn out good drivers if you don't have to?

    I start at 4AM, 95% of the time I'm done by 1:30, I'm in a daycab.

    Hush up you! Yes it is! Don't pay any attention to this yahoo everyone. He's been running a fever and is delirious. There is no such thing as a good local job where you:

    - Drive an ungoverned Pete 389
    - Work Monday - Friday
    - RARELY work more than 10 hours a day, less than that a lot of days
    - Paid for EVERYTHING you do
    - Paid vacation and sick leave

    It doesn't exist! It's a unicorn. It's just a dream I've been doing it for years now.

    TA Wythville VA. I observed a WW driver in the store and was going to engage him for chuckles then my brain kicked in and remembered he is wearing a white uniform shirt with his name on it ( because the company thinks he doesn’t know how to properly dress) and had the blank stare of a soulless meat stick.

    Granddaughter's husband is with RedBull in Albany NY. Starts at 4 AM and out by 2 PM. Oversees distribution getting out. Moving into the third party distributor management. Good pay, odd hours.
