Publix!

My trainer showed me how much he made this past year. Broke a little over 100k. I was thoroughly impressed.

 

your trainer at Publix?

 

Yes

 

Not surprising. My grandfather went rags to riches with that company. Retired with nearly 150,000 shares of stock on top of a good wage for years.

 

Pretty sure now you cant purcase shares whenever you want though. Only certain times and quantities. The people there who made the big bucks got lucky years ago when the stocks split 5 or 5 to 1. Never happen again.

 

I'm sure it's no different than schnucks, jewel or Kroger / roundys drivers, except with those cos theyre always hiring drivers. They all make close to a 100k some more . But work 6 day weeks, sometimes 7, every weekend, and always hitting their 70. No thanks, that's a promotion to misery

 

Yes Kroger owns Harris Teeter. We haul for both Harris Teeter and Publix as an outside contractor. They are strict but follow their rules (which are reasonable) and never a problem. They issue Vendor Scorecards every month so they are on top of things. But again if you just follow their rules they are very good companies to deal with.

 

Do you know where the distribution center will be out of?

 

Last I heard they plan on building it near the Virginia/NC line near I 85.

 

Publix sounds exactly it the chain here in Texas (heb) they only here from within and they only take people who have been with the company awhile... They train you to become a spotter while also paying for your CDL and everything else... Once you get 15k safe miles while working as a spotter then you get promoted to full time driver
