    I looked into them recently and decided I'm too old to be back in the trailer throwing product around. Once in a great while is OK, but it sounds like it is fairly routine with Sherwin Williams. They do sound like a great company otherwise.

    DOT foods might be another one looking at. They have drop and hook drivers iirc
     
    Zangief Thanks this.

    Good suggestion. I picked up or delivered at a DOT Foods once and they seemed like a high quality outfit.

    I went to the web site but it doesn't give much info. I'll give them a call and see what they have to say though. Thanks for the lead! :thumbright:

    Thanks very much, DRTDEVL. I'm going to get another DOT physical and see if I can make it work with SAV Express, but if that doesn't work, I'll probably be getting in touch with you. :biggrin_25514:

    Doesn't matter if the first doctor is wrong or right; the driver has a right to a second opinion.
     
    Zangief and Dennixx Thank this.

    I always thought 2+ years away from driving = YOU MUST TAKE A REFRESHER!

    Can anyone explain the finer details of this? Is it completely dependent on the discretion of the hiring company or something?
     
    Zangief and Chinatown Thank this.
