    That's what they claim. Could be a decent gig, but there are a lot of grimy Fed-ex contractors. I wouldn't touch one.

    Dohrn will call you there HR dept is really slow, They pay .44mi. They used to be pretty shady but ever since Pitt Ohio took over 80% I heard they are improving (slowly)

    Can you physically jockey a dolly around in all kinds of elements? You may be required to hook and unhook.
