    Wow 44cpm? ####, I'm only getting 42 cpm on Dollar tree and 193 for unload. No stop pay, and if I get a 4-5 stop trailer with slow stores in the hood, it takes two days. No wonder why werner won't let me on Dollar General in bethel, they way I work on Dollar Tree I'd be making over 100k a year on Dollar general

    I was trying to figure out a plan on how I could stay fit when trucking, I might as well be getting paid for it. those numbers don't sound bad at all.

    do you start each shift (under normal circumstances) with a full trailer to unload? and I know it depends, but what would be a good guess for the average stops you would make during a normal week?

    Well, if u want to get paid for getting fitness, guarantee dollar general acc Is for you. U won't need to worry about calories intake Cuz those rolltainers will make sure u are in good shape.
    Also use have to be very good at backing in to narrow places from the street.
    Other than that it is a walk in a park. Haha

    its more for gaining muscle than losing weight im already pretty trim. and yeah I pass them all the time they are very tight spots but when I start training in a few weeks im going to have my trainer have me back as much as possible to get the hang of it. The rolltainers don't seem that bad to deal with when you think of dollar tree having to unload box by box.

    my only other question is you get on the account, and you decide to get off, are they going to give me the run around to get off of it since there is so many openings for those accounts, or is it pretty easy to move to another within a few weeks? I would just hate to feel like I was stuck with it

    Seems like a pretty rough gig. Be careful and try not to injure yourself.

    Just try to approach as many as you can so that the store wii be on your left. That way, if you back in off the street it is sight side rather than a blind side backing situation.

    One thing is certain: a year of that will make a driver outta you!
