    I heard it use be you needed one year experience to get on. Your best bet is call your nearest DC and see what they know. Good luck.

    They don't hire trainees,if you got a Publix DC near you look into them.Way they work is you do a year or two in the warehouse and then they will get you into a truck.Look in to it.Not sure if you have publix there.

    If the rumors were true back in the mid 80's Publix paid $40K+ a year.

    My old man drove for winndixie out of the raleigh terminal from 77-02. Says its the best job hes ever had and will ever have (drives for walmart now). I believe when he left in 02 the pay was somewhere north of the $17 an hour range. Unfortunately they arent around in this neck of the woods anymore :-(

    I remember seeing them governed to 52-55mph, no A/C and "tachographs" On the dash.

    Yep that was them, with the old gmc trucks. Getting paid by the hour is a beautiful thing. When they got those 1st batch of volvos in the early-mid 90s they thought they were in heaven :biggrin_25520:
