    Go on Craigslist . North Jersey/transport . Lots of New Jersey jobs . Are you from NJ or NY ? You can work the rails for like 5 different companies and be home each day . Stay away from the port . Wakefern start times are 2-4 am done by noon . The pay is great from what I was told . I work out of Jersey currently myself rail work . I like being home each day for the time being . I'm from NY and wakefern just wasn't a good fit .

    Do you have to have your own authority for Wakefern or do U Haul under theirs?

    Like @Voorhees84 mentioned, you can find O/O's for Wakefern on craiglist....

    OWNER OPERATOR'S DEDICATED WAKEFERN

    Trying to lease on as an O/O for Food Haulers is virtually impossible from what I read. You have to know somebody to get in. Lucrative Union contract too. Food Haulers don't seem to have a website either. I would imagine you would have to contact Wakefern/ShopRite for more info.

    Food Haulers is also known as NTS (National Transport Services).
     
    Dino soar Thanks this.

    Wakefern seems to pay pretty #### good for O/O's to be running trucks like these....

    Shop-Rite

    Lots of useful information about Wakefern and Food Haulers on the link. Apparently they're copyrighted...so you can't post any pics.

    Also found out that Grocery Haulers use to do Pathmark and A&P before they went under. ACME now owns them including Superfresh. You'll see these type of O/O's working at ACME too. Grocery Haulers moved on to the Bakery Industry and now work for Bimbo Bakeries and Bakers Express. They also tend to hire O/O's also.

    Wafern used to have a crap ton of Big Rides working for them. Tho i still see some, they are few and far between. Look i’ll be honest i don’t anything here, but what i’ve seen. Imo they are past their hayday as far as o/o’s are concerned. Most all the Big rides have rode on down the pike
