    Meh.. Getting home weekly for 48 hours is nice but not if your time off starts when you leave their yard to go home, lol a 34 at the house isnt home time. And if you get stuck out there for 2 weeks or more you still only get that < 48. Multi stop 300mi runs, to grocery warehouses that eat up all your time? No thx

    Davis is very up front about the 90% night driving and telling you your dispatch is normally waiting for you as soon as your break is completed to be ready to roll. There was nothing hidden about Multistop Publix deliveries and grocery warehouses/ DCs or the way they operate and what they expect from the drivers. I applied to Davis and was invited to attend orientation but went to work for another carrier instead.

    Even trying to report something to fmcsa is a joke. They want you to give names, dates, truck numbers, in other words, they want to just walk into a trucking company and go right to the records that you provided, they are not willing to "dig a little".

    Called Manpower. The more information they have the better they are prepared to follow up.

    Are you a driver at Davis? I'm looking to get some insight on them. They made me an offer to come on board. Thanks!
