    delivers for Dollar General and the driver has to unload that crap. 2,500 pieces that they want unloaded in less than 2 hours by yourself. The incentive from DG, $10 for the entire load. They wonder why people will not stay doing slave work.[/QUOTE]

    No employees there get a discount except the 5 fingered variety.

    Not too Shabby^^^^

    And what was werner paying their drivers to do the same work? Half that?

    Anyway...Not bad money to work for a dollar store........Which makes me wonder- People LOVE dollar stores, I'm wondering the annual corporate(company) profits look like?

    Im guessing its pretty darn good

    I'm looking at companies and jobs. Had Schneider recruiter contact me today. They are one of the six contingent pre-hire agreements I have so far. I noticed the truck at my local Dollar General is a Schneider truck. People inside say that keeping drivers is a big problem.
    I know all about health and exercise. I won't go into details on my health right now. Good chance I can rehabilitate well enough to do this by the time I'm ready to work. Which will be Jan. 2nd.
    The only thing I don't need is some idiot pressuring me to do better, no matter what. I've had my fill of them around here.
    I'd appreciate more info. I'm seriously considering this. May ask the recruiter about this. Where the truck works out of...pay...etc.
    I consider part of the pay, being the exercise. I'm not joking.

    I just got an offer letter from DG. It's 41cpm, stop fee: 32.00 per stop at store, and 40 dollars for every trailer unloaded(regional Oklahoma).
