    I do fd with jb hunt. If you are determined to do it, do it with hunt. I gross $1200 to $1350 a week off weekends. But I hate it, hunt is great to us but family dollar loads the trailers all screwed up, 40+lb boxes falling on you, 2nd deliveries crap in front of the first deliveries crap, walls of merchandise coming out at you as soon as you open the doors, tight delivery schedules, tight backing, ghetto's. It sucks man. 20160704_160825.jpg

    700 bucks a week take home to hand unload
    53 ft trailers. Unbelievable.

    Out 2 weeks minimum. I refuse to run that long. You can run 2500+ miles a week with 48 hours at the house. The ability is there but inept load planning and dispatching prevent it

    It really is a tough job. I know I make more than $700 a week. Hell late last week I had a run and made over $700 on the one run. I'm not long for this job though honestly
     
    Western flyer and audeygdad Thank this.

    I used to deliver too the Joliet warehouse. I would see the guys loading the rollers into the back of the trailer and all I could think was "F" that. The load was a mess leaving the warehouse, I couldn't imagine what it looked like at the first stop.

    Looking at the end of that trailer in that pick is just unbelievable. What a bunch of unprofessional idiots loading that trailer. The warehouse manager and dm should be fired for allowing such utter slop
