    I am trying to find any information I can about driving for Hobby Lobby. Searched YouTube, Here on TTR, Glassdoor, indeed,etc, I can't find hardly any information or reviews on them as far as being a driver. I'm looking for comments from past and present drivers. And please with all due respect I don't want to hear hearsay. And I don't want to here I have a friend that says they..... any info would be great thanks

    I forgot to add let's not turn this one into what the last one I Tried reading turned into. I don't care about their religious beliefs or nothing else I want to hear pros and cons of driving for them

    I talk to a driver very happy. It is mostly teams, private fleet, no touch freight, retention bonus every year, solid company, good pay, home weekly.

    Arnt they the ones that brag their employees are off weekends to be with their families because of their religious beliefs?
    I see their trucks on the roads every Sunday I’m out there.
    Guess truck drivers don’t count

    The stores are open on Saturday closed on Sunday, some of the drivers come in on Friday the leave Sunday afternoon or evening, some of the drivers come in on Saturday then leave Monday afternoon or evening. Now the mechanics and security are a different story they are 24/7. I’ve never worked directly for them but did work for a small carrier that ran dedicated for them. However I left there back in 2012 so things may have changed.

    I called once and asked about the company. It seemed okay until I asked if I could be home holidays. The recruiter said no. That comes with seniority or luck. She said if it weren't on a weekend then you probably weren't getting home. I didn't stick around to see if that meant Christmas and turkey day. If the office can close and be home on major holidays, so can I. Maybe its changed since I called a few years ago.
