Clover Farms in Mulenburg PA?

Did you ever get any info? Im considering them for tanker if that posistion is available. They just dont know yet...
Basically they are on the bottom of my long list. Cant find much on em.

 

From what I heard, Clover Farms is Union, but that's about all I know about them.

There's plenty of other Milk Haulers around in the NE. Dean Foods (Lehigh Valley, Dairy Pure, Tuscan) and HP Hood (Balford, Crowley, Penn Maid, Rosenberger) are the biggest and they're all pretty much Union as well.

 

@Blackshack46 I don't know if Bethlehem is too far away from you, but Dean Foods had a tanker position available a couple months ago. Paid about $25 an hour, which is kinda weird because Lehigh Valley pays around $18 for Tanker.

I don't know if you wanna give up tankers, but Grocery Haulers in Brenigsville pulls for Bimbo Bakeries. You can make over $300 a day there. They use to be Union, but not anymore. So they have a 401k instead of a pension and I'm not sure if the benefits are free like the Union guys have.

 

Im really all over the place, my current situation is stable and pays well, but its boring anymore. Just d/h all night 5 nights a week. Driving 400 miles a shift. Id like to get into something that requires work to say the least. I miss actually working.

On one side of the spectrum im thinking about following my father in law, being a lineman. The other side im thinking about tankers. The middle consists of road construction, rental heavy equipment delivery, and a bunch of different lines of work.

So to say that i know what i want is far from the truth.

I do keep falling back into thinking about tanks though, fuel/propane delivery. But im open to most options. As long as its home daily, local work.

I dont plan on getting serious for a couple months yet. We'll be moving 12 miles away from our current posistion and itll put me in the middle of a lot more options between Reading and Allentown.

I will say though, if its a box, requires door swinging and bumping docks and no touch frieght.... Im very bored of that work.

 

Allentown's a really good area for local work. Lots of options up there. There's plenty of LTL Carriers and Food Companies like Nestle, Bimbo Bakeries, Dean Foods, etc, etc.

@rabbiporkchop is a Union Driver for Grocery Haulers. Brenigsville is Non Union and from what I heard, some physical labor is involved. So it wouldn't be ALL drop and hook like the Union guys do. And the Union Drivers were former Stroehman Drivers before Grocery Haulers took over. But you can definitely make REALLY good money there. Lehigh Valley has Delivery Driver positions too and they also make REALLY good money. Better than tankers, but the physical labor involved may be even worse than foodservice though.

 

I heard those guys in Breinigsville just signed a contract with Local 463 which is the same local that I'm out of

 

Good news...or bad news if you're antiunion lol.
