    If they’re delivering to stores without docks, I would avoid this. A pallet of groceries on a liftgate sounds sketchy at best.

    I tried to work in the warehouse right after high school years ago. Realized they advertise careers to prisoners. Huge majority of the warehouse were felons. Expect the trailer to have crap just thrown in there. As long as it doesn’t tip over when we loaded the trailer, they didn’t care how poorly it was stacked and wrapped.

    If you’re really wanting to try groceries, I would suggest Publix or Sharp (Aldi) in that order.

    and yet, when i delivered to C&S in Carteret NJ, with Poland Springs water, they'd gripe about how Poland Springs shrink wrapped the pallets. a few "loose bottles" of water and they'd go bonkers, wanting the whole pallet taken down.

    so i learnt my lesson, i'd go into the trailer before the fork lift guy and shove dunnage in between the loose bottles.

    in/out in no time.

    I'm not. My brother was wanting me to check into it. He's the superintendent for a roofing company. The owner's wife recruits for C & S down in Plant City.

    They're dangling a $12k sign on bonus out there. My brother doesn't really know trucking and figured I'd want a home daily job with decent pay. I'm sure it was his boss's idea.

    I'm not against a home daily decent paying job, if it's something that I could physically do. Most already know that Florida local typically pays peanuts with very few exceptions.

    But my health has declined to the point that it's all I can do just to get in and out of the truck. So I stick with long haul OTR.

    Mainly just researching here so that I can honestly tell my brother that I looked into it.

    And Sharp out of the Haines City Aldi DC is constantly advertising on Craigslist. They're now throwing out $90k as the advertised number. If true, it'd be one of the better paying jobs down here for a reasonably fit driver.

    As far as I know, Publix hasn't ever hired drivers without putting in years of hard labor working in their warehouses.

    I think it would be beneficial to other TTR members to have some insight on what the C & S driving jobs entail.

    I honestly have no idea how physical a job it is. I doubt it's just sticking a trailer in a door and just pulling another one out.

    Hopefully someone will come along and give some details.
