Hmmm...... 11yrs later and i more than doubled the pay........

$97,639.79 for 2025

 

A FEW UPDATES, 3/20:
The bad:
1) Upper and middle "management" are psychopaths.

2) Lots of volvos. i had previously heard we weren't buying anymore volvos, but that was a while ago. Trucks are, however, generally kept in good shape. i still think 'Liner is the best thing we got as far as comfort, ergonomics, dependability etc.

3) We finally got an electric jack. One to be shared among all the drivers. Looks like End-of-line terminals will be getting one per bid. Larger/hub terminals likely several per bid? This is, unfortunately, a light duty model not really suited for LTL work and not doing too well. i understand that you don't want too large a jack in a trailer, but this is LTL and it really looks like there's no choice BUT to get a larger jack. If food service can function with a larger jack, so can we.

The not-as-bad:
4) The work itself is pretty smooth / stress-free.
Other than the irregular / heavy pallets we frequently get, it's generally pretty smooth.

Generally, if you work steady and watch your time at stops-----corpo doesn't want us to take more than 15 mins at any one particular stop, you're ok. If you are delayed, just notify dispatch and you should be ok.

5) pay and benefits ok...as you can see.
