Aaaaaaaah, yes.

Things that sound too good to be true.

Often are.

 

What did he tell you? They were hiring around my area a month ago, but dont know much about them. It was a day cab , home daily job but thats all I know. Thanks for any info, also, what was the first step that you got through? Thaks again

 

Sounds more like "too true to be good" if you ask me...lol

 

I have worked for First Fleet 15 year. The way they pay is based on what account you are on this is one reason you may find drives that give you a different in pay.

 

First Drivers some are very nice and good drivers, but some have been told by their company no matter whom they deliver to they come first, I no this quite well, I am a Retired Truck Driver, I worked for Kroger for over twenty years, they delivered to all our stores, if you were unloading they would tell you have to move. This set well with our drivers, we are teamster drivers, their pay sucks we got for all stops, paid for how many pallets we unloaded, plus mileage, maim thing I was home every night. PS. a block for my home they have more than 15 empty new tractors, been sitting their for months, that should tell you something

 

this is an old thread.

I love working for First Fleet, but I can't speak for all of them, because each office is like its own small company. They run certain dedicated accounts; kroger, flowers baking, coors, paper plant, etc. It all depends on the terminal. I've worked for them a year, a regional driver, my terminal runs bread from flowers, 99% drop/hook, mostly day cab, some regional home couple times per week.
The office in the next town runs roll stock paper and cardboard boxes, mostly live loading/unloads. I ran for that terminal, and they paid differently because the paper mill would sometimes take all day to get you loaded. Day cabs, and home weekends for regional drivers on that one, with maybe a couple nights home if you were nearby as you ran out of hours. I ran for their account a couple months when they needed extra help.
And if for some reason my terminal didn't have available loads for me that week, they'd send me on broker loads, and I'd run like any other OTR driver and get to see the country, just random shippers dispatched from other companies like Landstar.
All in all, it's the perfect company for me. My family is happy to have me home so often, and still get the miles I had when I worked for Swift gone for two or more weeks.
