dedicated dollar accounts

This statement could not be more wrong. Either your not even in trucking, or your an old man who has no idea how different Trucking is now compared to 50 years ago

 

Senior drivers don't want those accounts, because they are horrible unless you like unloading trucks for a living. That's why those accounts are pushed in CDL schools all over the nation; 48 states. Even new drivers don't stay long because the accounts are so horrible, so this keeps the recruiters busy trying to keep the seats filled.
When I was pulling reefers for a company, running coast to coast, sometimes the dispatcher would come up with some oddball load that another company couldn't cover due to no drivers available. I did some of those and they were those Dollar General or something similar; back in to a crowded parking lot not made for trucks, cars and pickup trucks everywhere, and when you finally get backed in, there's no docks. Everything is unloaded by hand. Lots of back problems with those drivers that do it all the time.

 

That kind off work is good stepping stone, for food service delivery. And that pays good for those that are good at it

 

What type freight does that Watkins-Shepard terminal haul in Berea?

 

That store looks easy compared to most of them.

 

Good examples of why they can't keep drivers on those accounts.

 

i think it's furniture.... it's multistop at retail locations.
i work at the tanker company in front of them and have nearly hit several that thought they could "squeeze by" while backing
