Message:: [QUOTE="RobC, post: 2742807, member: 92353"]Hey drivers. My name is Rob, 34 years old, been driving since 2006 with a large national carrier. I have been on a dedicated account for the last 2.5 years running mainly eastern U.S. and Canada. It is a good position, with lots of home time and decent salary, but I have been entertaining the idea of moving on to better things and more money. Right now I think I have pretty much hit the top of my pay with my company, with the account I am on. I could theoretically make more if I wanted to go back to running OTR, but I won't. The money isn't worth living on the road. So, I have been looking at a local job that has good pay, and Harris Teeter Grocers has been on my list to check out. I have briefly spoken to a couple drivers on the CB, and got good reviews from them, but I wanted to see if anyone here could shed some light on the job for me. I would need to make at least $50k annually to make the switch, and prefer to be closer to $60k the first year. Is this realistic? How are the runs with HT? Mainly night runs, or a mixture? I heard they provide lodging if you have a long run. I would be running out of the Indian Trail DC (Charlotte area). Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
