We slow down for the first 2-3 weeks of January, then income tax refunds start rolling in and it’s balls out until the following New Years....
A couple of years ago one of my work buddies stayed at the same hotel as a rinehart driver and they chatted quite a bit. He said rinehart is very...
I can’t eat while I’m working. If I do I get a pretty good case of heartburn/ indigestion. I keep a couple of protein bars if I happen to get...
If I have to toss anything on a rack at a key drop, it never goes where it’s supposed to. I learned pretty quickly that’s when they call in...
You would probably need to team with a driver that has some seniority if you want to work M-F as a new guy.
Well, they way I see it is sure I can make the same kind of money doing a lot less work somewhere else, but I would have to put a lot more time...
We’ve been hiring constantly for at least the last eleven years :D
Eh. Some of us want the physical activity. Once you know what you are doing, you kinda set your own pace. I’m 48 years old and in the best shape...

Most are 1-2 days, but some DCs cover a lot of desolation. One of our drivers went to another DC to help out and said one of the routes he did was...
I totally expected the Wyse posts to disappear. That was a blatant violation of the rules. Gene is a pretty standup guy, and I suspect he wasn’t...
Your doom and gloom story every time someone asks about food service is not at all like my experience. It is certainly a physically demanding job,...
Dang. Who did you work for to beat yourself up so much?
McLane has drivecam and we’ve had drivers lose their jobs because of it, but they were doing stuff they shouldn’t have been when the camera was...
There’s a thread here in another forum about maines doing something similar. Looking for O/O to pull a trailer around while someone else unloads...
Ooooorrrrrrr..... get it controlled. I’m not fan of medications. I believe that a huge percentage is prescribed unnecessarily, but it’s the one...
Last I heard, these good times were being waived here. The follicle test was disqualifying too many, and the IPCS is stupid. Concentra :eek:...
