DOLLAR GENERAL, FAMILY DOLLAR TYPE ACCOUNTS, Whats the Real talk!!!

Wait.

Family Dollar and Dollar General company drivers are delivery drivers, they unload at the stores, but not at their own DCs.

Werner drivers don't unload at the DCs and they don't deliver to stores..

Two very different types of drivers and jobs.

 

I talked to a driver last week who was doing Dollar General for a major trucking company. He said they begged him to do it for $1400/wk and he finally relented and went on the account. Did a great job, got his loads delivered, all unload by himself without help from DG employees. On time, etc... After three weeks of doing a great job he got a call saying it was too much money, could he do it for $800 ? What a joke. And they wonder why they can't keep routes covered.

 

Werner does unload at stores !!

 

Cab, are you a Werner driver?

 

Yes, the other poster stated same, that Werner unloads.

 

i talked with an o/o who does dollar general for Swift, he said he gets $1600 a week and works 2 days and it takes him 4 hours to unload each stop he said. He said money is great and great home time with his family but its back busting labor and he said not everyone can handle it. Thats why they always need drivers and pay more for the routes.
$1600 is before his expenses I should add, he said he still makes over $1k a week.

 

Does Werner still have the DG & Family Dollar account because I live in Eastern North Carolina. And I haven't seen their trucks in such a long time. Just being curious

 

I know Swift has a lot of them but it varies in areas probably, like Walmart dedicated, you see Swift having some routes and you see CRE with some of the others etc.
