    High risk of fender benders backing through those Dollar General parking lots. Couple of those and you're fired.

    Lots of driver assist with Dollar General too if I recall. And they just throw the boxes into the trailer in a pile and expect you to secure it.

    On the plus side, plenty of experience in tight spaces either way, plus lots of exercise with DG. :D

    Id say werner is a bit better. WE is almost as bad as swift in many ways. Just avoid May trucking. Im still mad at them for some of the crap they pulled on me 10 years later.
