    Fedex is still unable to pull my mvr so the recruiter at redbone offered me a dedicated albertsons run instead. Pay is less but my main concern is how bad is it to break apart a set for docking? Always dropped doubles in the past.

    I'm sure you'll be trained properly. I'd probably take the Redbone offer which puts you in a position for a FedEx position in the near future.
     
    SmallSon Thanks this.

    Not sure but I think we used to get 7 minutes to break and 7 to make a set at Conway.
    Fairly easy and quick once used to it.
     
    SmallSon Thanks this.

    I told him I would decide by tomorrow. It still seems like a better gig than the OTR run he offered. I just dread some of these eastcoast businesses I have to get my truck into. Im probably just being a baby about it.

    Not sure what to ask. I mentioned to Chinatown that I didn't have enough recent experience so they won't hire me.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Call around. The subcontractors will hire people who don't have recent experience.

    Redbone wouldn't hire because of that. I will call some other companies though.
