    If you'll be loading and unloading with a pallet jack, that generally means they don't have a loading dock. What I'm seeing is doing a lot of deliveries double parked on streets in places like NYC and very tight streets. I wouldn't do it for 3 times that amount.

    I saw one backing into a Dollar General yesterday. Didn’t see what trailer he was pulling.

    I was told that it would be NJ, PA, and NY ( Staten Island). I think this might be too good to be true. I'm not feeling the NY part. For all I know, I could be stuck doing all NY deliveries. I've driven in NYC and it's a major pain. Don't want to do that again.

    1800 miles a week at .50/mile... Thats $900 BEFORE taxes. That dont seem like much money to me... Even if you get the 20 stops at $15 each, thats still only $1200 a week. And you'll bust your ### for every penny. Just seems like a rip off to deal with the North East BS.

    Yeah, really. $1,200 per week would be alright in the Midwest or South, not the Northeast.
     
    Bean Jr. and LtlAnonymous Thank this.

    Great title because these guys are really looking hard for drivers. It sounds so good they were the first place I looked. Then I found this forum and they are getting trashed here. Good to know!

    You'll be glad you did. At least you'll be treated like a human there Lol. There was a reason that CR E listing was always posted
