    I've never seen, nor heard, of a woman driver at MBM.

    Sounds like wage slavery. There is a reason they are always hiring everywhere. I'd rather drive OTR than do that.

    That DC keeps motel rooms, next door, on reserve for the warehousemen. The guys go over there and grab an 8hr break, then, go right back to work. The same guy who used to run that warehouse transferred to the DC I used to work at. He implemented some of the same ideals at ours and caused turnover to go through the roof. Management are so greedy and could care less about the employee. You want to work people like slaves? Then, be prepared to not have them as employees.

    And, yes. We were run illegal, too. I used to not log one day per week (ran local that day), so that I could get in my reset. I was running 7 days a week.

    Same here, which is exactly what I did; went back OTR.

    At MBM Columbus, we currently have 1 female driver, she does a great job. There is another female driver at our DC on the other side of town who has been with MBM for 10+ years. They cannot hire women if they don't apply. We ARE NOT forced to run illegal, in fact we will be disciplined if we do. There are only 3 team routes leaving our DC weekly. I have never run a team route because I have chosen not to. Each MBM DC has a different pay scale and each restaurant concept has a different delivery method (we use mostly lift gates, I roll in about 150pcs per week). If OTR trucking seems like a dream job to you, this is definitely not. We have to interact with customers, carry ourselves in a professional manner, wear company supplied uniforms and look the part of a representative of a multi billion dollar company. We get to know our customers as friends. I truly enjoy my job, but it is not for everyone. Watch a delivery if you have questions.

    Great info.. I'm looking forward to working with MBM in a few months. They had an on site hiring session a while back but they said they couldn't hire me since I had a speeding ticket and not 2 years driving experience yet. But in August I'll be eligible. 49 Chevy how often are you home with mbm?
