Ok I will try and answer these questions and as honest as I can be. You're first question was what is the work environment like?? No they do not watch your every move. Once you complete your training and you and the trainer sign off..they expect you for the most part to be able to do the loads. You either hire on to do store shuttle which is home daily or team which is out 5 to 6 days..more like 5. You will come in nightly Mon thru Fri hook your set then go to the stores. You will have two stores nightly in most cases..one pup goes to one store other pup goes to store #2. You hook the return trailers and come back to DC where you started the shift. Drop your set fuel go home repeat that night. Second Mileage pay..you are paid for all your miles, your drop/hooks, and to fuel the truck. They also pay you for any and all detention/breakdown. More than likely you will not see any delay doing stores at night unless you do a vendor pickup. Mostly you can do each store in about 15 mins from time you drop and rebook the sets. The equipment they do have older trucks which you may start out it in..however rest of units are 3 yrs old at worst..I will say they are dead on when it comes to needing anything fixed. They keep the trucks washed weekly and expect you to keep the trucks clean inside. All KW autos. Expect to be off 34 to 48 on your off time. I'd say avg pay yrly for a night time shuttle driver to be $60 to 85k depending on how you work. Some night time shuttles are 500 miles easy. Teams make 80k to 100k+ easy. Full benefits paid vacation holidays, 401k you name it. All in all it's not perfect but you are you're own boss when you leave each night. Only forward facing cameras and will never be driver facing they have made that clear. They are big on safety and expect you to be safe..weathers bad?? Pull it over!! No backlash whatsoever from management on that policy. Hopefully I've answered what you were looking for. If you need more info ask away!!
