    Warehouse to DC to Store. They are basically Publix's OTR wing. Better have your backing skills sharp. George Jenkins did not design his older stores with truck drivers in mind. (or anyone else for that reason). Don't know why Davis bothers advertising on billboards for drivers along I-75. When the Publix yard spotters screw around with Davis trailers all day, in front of 15 or so other drivers that have been there for hours.

    Don't know much Davis Express

    Their hometime options make no sense to me, 7 on and 2 off, or 14 on and 2 off, don't you think you'd get more time for 14 on? And being that they only run the southeast it sure would be tough to stay in that truck 7 days in a row knowing you might only be a few miles from the house. I spoke with them last year sometime but couldn't wrap my head around being gone 7 days at a time while still being classified as southeast regional. Most southeast companies, Link/Cypress/CCC to name a few get you home every weekend.
