DOT FOODS Road Test, Any Advise

No problem I was actually writing a response to you when you posted it. Good luck. Keep in mind it's still a job but definitely way ahead of the class in trucking.

 

Hi whats going own I had somewhat problem with the heartrate but the key thing is to watch your breathing what I mean by that, breath in througH your nose and out through your mouth pretty deep breath practice this before and during the test. Also if they can let you see how your heart is responding before you start the test you can see how you can control it remember smile and think of something you really love I thought about God and how he can move any barriers. The key thing is do not worry amagin that you already are rich and you are just doing this just for fun.YOU WELL DO FINE

My name is Dan, I live in Rochester, NY but am going for a job in the Liverpool Office. I have made it to the last step. I go this Friday for my Heart rate test. That is the only part I am scared about, can you tell me what it is like. I am 5'10, 275Lbs. I passed the physical with no problems at all. I just never had a heart rate test done before. Tammy the HR lady said it isn’t too bad. She said if I pass they will bring me in the same day to fill out all my paper work and start orientation on Monday the 28th. All the info you can give would be great. If you like you can give me a call, my number is 585-200-0657. I look forward to your reply

I will be in OK I thought that all orientation were in IL but I will be in OK for a week what a dream but believe me I will make the best of it.

 

No Orientation?

 

All I know from observing DOT foods guys is that they don't pay for lumpers. You are the lumper for a much lower rate. That would drive me nuts. I hate unloading for nothing.

 

You know we unload for a low rate first hand? I didn't think so. If you consider $50-$100 hr for unloading a low rate I don't know what to tell you. When I'm unloading that's what I make. I get paid for every case on my truck and every line item on my truck whether I touch it or not. There are some loads I make $150 - $200 and don't touch a single box. I get paid to get a great workout and keep in good shape. Works out great for me but it's not lazy people. As far as much lower rate than a lumper the guy lumping the truck don't make *bleep**bleep**bleep**bleep* compared to what I make. The lumper svc makes the money not the lumpers. Lumpers are lucky to make $10 hr.
