    I saw that they had posted an ad in CL for a local driver here in Chattanooga. It's a mon-fri hourly job getting trailers loaded and unloaded at local customers and getting/taking them from the local drop yard for their OTR drivers. Starts at $16 per hour.

    In not really looking to move jobs but I check CL periodically just to see what's out there. I've never heard of this outfit and I def didn't know that they had enough customers here in Chatt to warrant a drop yard with a local driver. $16 sounds a little low, but the job sounds pretty easy. Essentially 7-5 mon-fri with all weekends off. Don't know if they pay OT for over-40 hrs.

    Just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about the company. Also, if anyone in the Chatt area is looking for a local job, it's still up on CL.

    Ok that makes sense. When I was with Big G I'd get rocktenn loads going to their warehouse off of hwy 153 pretty often to get me home on weekends. Brown day cabs were always going in and out of there.

    It sounds like an easy job, but I can't do $16/hr. That would be a major paycut for me.

    Yeah I was with Big G too,got tired of running northeast and getting jacked around on short hauls they day I was scheduled to go home,went back to a company I was with for 7 years from 1995 to 2002. When I left Big G I looked for local jobs in middle tennessee and they didn't pay worth a flip.
