    To answer your question the nearest distribution center is in Atlanta. We have a small hub that distributes what ever Atlanta sends us to the stores here in Orlando.

    Everyone is paid different. Depends on what route you are on. But they were started me out at 47k a year

    47k for driving a box truck and normal-ish hours? Man you’re lucky.

    I see them fairly regularly, always figured they were local drivers. And, I would not sweat driving a class B truck with a class A license. IMO, the job/employer is more important than the class of truck you operate, also there may be times, or a job, where you go from one truck to another depending on need. That has been the totality of all of my experience thus far.

    Exactly. Sometimes I drive a day cab. Just depends on what is needed for the route. For the most part I can fit or find a way to fit it on a box truck. I was lucky to find this job so early in the start of my career. I’m still getting the 1-2 year experience needed for a local job which I have. I don’t plan on going anywhere. I make more than that now around the 50k mark and I haven’t even hit the year mark yet. So just gotta do research and apply everywhere because you never know when god will give you a blessing
