    Not even worried about the lifting. I worked for Budweiser for over 7 years throwing cases (and kegs). Dollar tree should be a walk in the park. Pay seems good though and home time don't look that bad. At least from what they tell me anyways

    Well after a long weekend and bus ride here I finally go out on a truck this afternoon to start my 50hrs of training. Hoping to be finished and headed back home by the weekend. No worries though ready to start making some money!!!

    Hey don't expect to go home when the clock strikes 50 hours. Your trainer is getting paid for every mile you drive and will squeeze every penny he can out of you. Also your trainer gets to take hometime but you don't. Good chance you'll be in a dirty motel while he's home having sex with his wife. My trainer took 3 weekends off while I was training.
