werner and dollar tree acct advise.

What's the pay like? Miles? Average time to get unloaded? If you calculate all that and are getting less than 20/hr on on-duty time forget it and go work for ups or a freight company if you don't mind loading/unloading trailers.

 

If you have a good driving record and are able , why not check out food service delivery....more or less just as physically demanding , but the pay and home time is much better. With most food service companies you'll only run 3 to 4 days a week and be home most nights if not everyday. I did it for 33 years and retired at 63 in 2011...it's worth a look see.

 

Check around with some other companies first; Werner and USX have huge turnovers with those type of accounts.

Cardinal Logistics
New Penn (Teamsters)
FedEx Freight
UPS Freight in New Haven(dry van truckload)
R&L Carriers
Graphic Image in Milford (requires 10 yrs. experience)
R&R Freight Service
Clean Harbors
YRC Freight
A&R Transport (no endorsements required - $65K-$72K per year)

 

Uh-oh

R&r just got the "Chinatown bump"

Had an ole timer try and recruit me the other day for that place stuck in a dock.

 

Ok so let me put my 2 cents in here, now you state that you would make between 1100-1300 a week maybe. Well my first question is why? Why would you want to work harder to make that kind of money? Most rookies coming out of school and after training should be able to clear at least 1k a week pretty easy and all they have to do is bump a dock?

2nd you reading posts, and your gut reaction is this may not be for you....but you are still contemplating the thought.....really?

you would be better off with companies such as resers or dot foods.

stupid is as stupid does I get.....go get signed up with Werner and in about 3 months or so you'll be the next poster on how you got screwed and are now crying the blues

 

My brother in law is on that acct. It is hard work. He gets paid decent. Usually 12-1300.00 a week after taxes. He busts his but for every cent. It sounds like good money but the amount of work and headaches involved it's not worth it.

I make just a little bit less than that, don't unload trucks, stay in the northeast, and home every weekend (and about 1 night a week for my 10 hr. If you are dead set on werner (I would recommend listening to Chinatowns advice before going to Werner. It's not horrible but not great either) see if there are any openings on the jeld wen acct out of vt. Much much better than the dollar tree

 

and again ill point out that yep I was peeved too, and ranted on here about how they lied from the beginning etc...etc... But when I posted what truly happened and or experienced guess what....people turn out and say you just crying the blues, and so on and so forth......

so true you may be peeved but the minute you post assuredly someone is going to say that you are just crying and just a hack that just didn't want to conform.
