Dollar General Private Fleet?

Thats why I mentioned the Marines and military guys doing it.......they are gung ho boy.......gung ho.... and would maintain fitness.......Dollar General could utilize this idea in their recruiting scheme.........right? Lol

 

I mean lets face it, most drivers just want to drive.....or more unfortunate, cant or shouldnt do much more than drive.......but, there are those that desire a bit more.......I wonder if D G has focused at any degree, on targeting these types? If no, than they should start......D G has multiple issues.....going on at once ,perpetually.......they have to solve them or they are finished........

 

I get ya Texan.......I made my point within that comment itself......when I say " real men only need apply" it would attract the type of worker my business needs........not that I believe the statement that only these men are real....its the marketing aspect.....that statement, "real men only need apply" is exactly what will attract those fit for THAT job would eagerly respond too........afterall, thats how the Marines get their recruits.......thats how the Seals get theirs........green berets......I saw the Seals film in boot camp, it did NOT appeal to me, but to others , became a mission ........D G needs to go that route a bit......

 

Can you blame them? They get paid to drive. Most of the time the unload pay is a literal joke. Minimum wage all the while eating the clock away that one can be making twice as much actually driving.

 

You make a great point! With the new Elogs its ever more important to rightly and fairly compensate drivers who spend most of their time at docks unloading........so theres even an increased amount of pressure on D G , Mc Clanes and the like.......new challenges.....new solutions.....I bet we are going to see some amazing pay incentives coming from some of these companies! Maybee to the point of dislodging a few of us to seriously consider moving over to them!.... yes....its possible......

 

All Im ultimately saying, is that this business model of D G isnt, hasnt, and surely will not be enough to sustain them......they must try something CRAZY soon.......or fall.......it might just only SEEM crazy at first.......

 

I present to you Walmart.......they have a private fleet, bring an impressive degree of line items at amazingly low prices.....and, they pay their drivers What kind of wage for simple, drop and hook services? How in the world?
