Thank you Bear135. Definitely a struggle. This is no longer a rags to riches business, but what is now anyway? The one in a million that makes an app that everyone wants?

Thanks again and be safe!

So I met this guy whose owner of mcmahon dairy services out of HUNTLEY,IL
somehow he got a contract after AWG merged with a local distributor doing some of the deliveries for AWG in Kenosha,WI. Black horse is the main carrier currently. He said he is going to take over eventually, not sure how true that is, but I also talked to the guard at the gate She confirmed that this guy has a lot of trucks running everyday, and Black horse dont have enough drivers for them they are trying to just find one company do their deliveries.
He would pay me $220 a day to run a route to the surrounding area grocery store, no unloading.
About 10 hours I would work in a day, only 3 stops.
Insurance right away, 401k etc...
so everything all sound really good
but there are also a lot of red flags as well, i was meeting him in the yard of AWG, he said he doesnt have an office yet there, because black horse people still occupied the office.
I did see some of his brand new tractors parked there with his company logo on it.
but I asked him to give me a formal job offer letter or something in writing he refused to do that.
and He doesnt even conduct background check and DMV report, i ask him why he just ask me if my record is clean i said yes then he said he trust me.

im new to trucking, im currently with mclane, FS is little too hard for me, so im trying to find something easier, but all the mega requires 2 yrs to be considered for their local runs.

Driver watch out for the ad that tells opening pulling grocery loads in and around chicago, making 1200 to 1500 a week 6 days a week. This company is a fly by night outfit when you get close to an year service for a vacation they come up with false reasons to get rid of you. Also when you work for them they exspect you to pay for supply to make your job easier and then you have to chance them for the money back, could take you a week to month till you see your money. Then account manager makes it a hostile work enviroment. He think he can threaten you at anytime, and the owner doesn't do nothing about he laughs when you mention it to him. Also than 8 to 10 shift a joke it more like 12 to 16. Just giving my fellow truck drivers the heads up. go into the job if you take it with your eyes open. When they say holiday off plan on working every holiday. If don't like chicago get used to it youll see it everyday. Youll go places were your trailer cant fit. They don't have your back with the customer theyll blame you for everything.

Sounds like a shiester.Is he some kind of subcontractor? Grocery driver that doesnt UNLOAD! SOUNDS almost like some dude rented some trucks and stuck Dot numbers on them? Is he gonna work you a few weeks and never pay up? Skip town on you? Did he even ask to see your CDL. SOUNDS CRAZY.Id Run like hell.JMO
