    I ran a heavy peddle as well as liftgate a lot and I managed to gain weight. The hardest day there was a cake walk compared to food service let alone a average day in the farm.

    I didn't really mind it but the company sucked, Mike works for a much better company. Work is 99% mental, my dad always told me the work had to be done so don't think about it just do it, put your head down and plow.
     
    Mike2633 and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    I’d really prefer to run a set of doubles over city work but I’ll do what I gotta do to get there. I did also apply at Dayton freight And Saia.

    The ground is alright. 1300 week I run wed-sat off 3 straight days. Run Nashville to Dallas to Sacramento back to Nashville.

    I just can’t stand team. Few years I had enough. I sometimes debate leaving my brother out on CA 58 some where I couldn’t imagine running. With a random dude. I’m just done with it. I’ll take what I can get for now and use it to get better.

    Ground has a big new hub in Evansville but contractors are cheap plus no good benefits and high insurance.

    I’m half tempted for now to run with central Transport line haul. Come on now don’t laugh I just need break away from the dam bouncing bed when I sleep

    At Fedex and particularly a small terminal you'll run a forklift more than a set of doubles and do it at night. Running a forklift isn't bad and it pays good for easy work but just be prepared for it.
