North Carolina Jobs? Harris Teeter?

Nooooo sir , only 3. Ran a longer trip on Monday ,11 to 12 hours , 3 stops , around 400 miles , with ususally 1300 to at most 1500 pieces , then a real short trip ( 8 hours 200 miles ) with only 2 stops , 800 to 1000 pieces on Tuesday , off Wednesday , then the same route on Thursday as the one on Monday , then off Friday , Saturday & Sunday . Usually totaled around 33 or so hours a week. We were paid by the mile , the stop , and the piece , along with any delay time / breakdowns that might occur. I let those younger guys fight over those 4 and 5 day schedules. Too much work for an old fart.

 

lol ok cool. i glady appreciate the info tony. i think i may apply and go from there, 3 days a week doesn't sound bad at all.

 

Now you have to realize , it took me a fair amount of time to gain enough seniority in order to bid on those 3 day runs. I ran my share of weekend routes , 4 & 5 day schedules for more than 10 years. At the time I was running the routes I referred to in my prior post I had over 30 years in with the company , I was # 5 out of over 100 drivers that worked there.

Hope that puts this info in the proper light for you , GSF for me wasn't just a job , it was a career choice , I retired in 2011 with 33 years in with them. I will say this though , if I had the same choice as a young driver today , I would pick GSF over anyone in NC to work for , Even a spot with UPS , or the other union shops around. Way too many games played by those guys. At GSF you are asked only a couple of things. Show up ON TIME , drive safely , professionally , and treat the customers with respect. Easiest 3 things in the world to do in order to earn a much better than average pay check.

 

thank tony im going to take your advice and go from there being that im a young truck driver because i said my next gig would be one im looking to retire from im not worried about the physical i delivered sheet rock for a few years.

 

Good deal , you should be able to handle the work with no trouble. Great bunch of folks in Garner. I deer hunt over in Johnston county some , have a friend with land outside of Clayton.

 

Okay, I know the area. I used to live off of Cornwallis Rd.
