Hy-Vee Cherokee Iowa

I drive for a carrier that is about 45 minutes from here so we do quite a bit for Hy Vee. Everytime I talk to other drivers about receivers I always say that these guys are the best, their other warehouse in Chariton which is SE of Des Moines is just as good. I wish that C&S, Super Valu & Wal Mart could be a quarter of these guys in regards to how they treat drivers.

 

You can tell the Working Man still has a lot of input into Hy-Vee's operations. Enjoy it while it lasts, drivers.

 

Hy-Vee is an employee owned outfit
maybe thats the differance

 

been there many times and they are very good people.. in fact a trlr and trk repair shop opened right accross street from them very good guys work there as well

 

One of the best places ive delivered at.

 

Its very hard to get on at HyVee(Company Driver), you got to know someone to get your foot in the door. They start you out part time and will not hire you on full time unless you have proven yourself worthy of it(anywhere from 6 months to a year). They base almost all there load assignments on seniority. Dispatchers are the best in the business and its a extremely rare you have a bad acquaintance. You act professional- do your job the way it should be done, HyVee will take care of you. You lie, cheat, lazy, be immature, don't do the right thing when it counts. They won't give ya loads as a part timer. In other words, they will value you as much as you value the company and your co-workers.

 

every hyvee DC is as good as the last proves a few people in the world still value a work ethic

 

I've been to Chariten several times. Good people. I hate the truck stop though. No cell phone signal. No TV. No PeopleNet signal. Probably no Qualcomm signal either. Not even a payphone. You are in the twilight zone! You better be preplanned and rolling out of there.

I saw five young kids buying beer. They said that's all we got to do around here.

 

great place great people all grocery outfits should learn from their examples
