United furniture industries UFI

Back breaking work.shoot yourself in the foot.feels better then moveing furniture

 

I live down the road from the plant, bad neighborhood, In thomasville fibrix is hiring drivers 14.25hr home everynight hauling foam to customers. Mulitple loads a day. Avg id say 45-55hrs a week.

 

I’m from MS and know quite a few United drivers down here. Most all of them like it. And have been there a while. Say they make great money. Trucks are nice and run 72 from what I’ve heard. Were on paper log but just turned the people nets on in Dec. Sorry I’m not much help but most all the guys I talked to like it.
Oh and equipment is all Penske stuff so no problems with breakdowns and such.
The company itself is solid, they just purchased Lane Furniture down here and another plant in NC. Think they have 4 or 5 plants down here now. So plenty of work.

 

I don’t know anything about the running areas. Drivers here are home on weekends and once during the week. Since they haul their own freight they take a load out backhaul right back and grab another load out. Sorry like I said I don’t work for them so I don’t have much info.

 

Not like its presented, I worked there 3 weeks and laid over until Saturday all 3 weeks, they dont give you a dolly to move furniture with, no info about parking lots in the Northeast, CDL sabotage!!! Stay away!!
