I don't get this biz sometimes. One week it's Werner is the worst. Next week Schneider. Next week Western Express. No wonder so many rookies are confused. No way would I take any of those dollar accounts.
Don't the Schneider trucks idle too?

When that truck does finally back in and set the brakes, the threat level increases as the thugs come out to see what can be robbed today. They will ignore the walmart down the road rocking half a mil in cash upstairs and a routine armored gaurd delivery every tues at 10 am without fail. They need to change that routine before someone does knock em off.
These stores in my area are not too bad, but morale is generally low and stress high. It's not worth the risk of property damage or accident to incur among a people who do not have enough to buy liability insurance in the first degree but will hand over 10 dollars on sight for a beanie baby on sale for 2 years in the far corner that has never been swept or dusted by any actual store staffer since grand opening. They have temps on order for that.New2Trucking2017 and 19d Thank this. -

Basically like the boys said, you will be unloading more than driving. You can make decent money, at least with my company. They do DG but if you're new and don't know about how much they pay it can be confusing.
They want to pay you a certain amount, say 90 bucks a trailer but when you talk to others on the account they are getting 250 a trailer. Demand more pay per trailer starting out. I would only recommend it to those that enjoy the work. You can make 1500 a week but the manual workload is discouraging.
Don't let them pay you what they want to pay you or you won't last. Most the guys average a trailer every 2 days, but with a company like Werner good luck unloading when you are logged off as off duty. That's the only way it's worth it, or if you are overweight and just need to powerhouse on losing some lbs. Good luck man.
Also remember that these are dedicated accounts usually so if you aren't as busy as you want to be the first month you can garuntee it won't changeNew2Trucking2017 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the replies, I don't know Ima talk to my recruiter tomorrow to see my other options I really just wanna get my year over with and move on. But call me crazy but Werner seems like a good company lol I guess I'm going to find out this is my 1st job by the way .

Since you're in Raleigh try Abilene Motor Express. Don't know if they have dedicated though.
