    I'm waiting for Wal-Mart to seek me out and ask me to personally come drive one of their trucks. Have a feeling it's gonna come soon.







    Can't wait to tell them "no thanks"

    I've heard from quite a few drivers if there's a tremendous amount of back stabbing that goes on there. And it's quite easy to get fired

    What good is money if your quality of life sucks?
    That's why I'm no longer a company driver.

    Went with my friends to open house in Wilkes-Barre, PA yesterday, which they advertised HEAVILY on ALL local radio stations for the last 3 weeks. Met a lot of either really nice people, or a lot of lousy liars. It is what you make of it; but I was really impressed with the actual printouts they displayed which showed ( actual personal info deleted) average hours. home time and weekly salaries. If I could do it now, and commit to Any company for the foreseeable future, I would take their starting AVERAGE $1186.00 take home (61K, 4on3 off days) for DC/DC in a heartbeat. They were giving immediate road tests!















    d line in a heartbeat

    I'm sure they have you sign some kind of agreement that you consent to having your cell phone records checked. Otherwise I don't know how they could get away with such an invasion of privacy?

    Because some of us still have "self respect".
