How about I break it down into segments for easier understanding.
1. I need to get out of F/S. Killing my body
2. I need a local driving job that keeps me home daily.
3. I need a job that doesn’t have me starting in the evening.
I’ve been doing this long enough to know that it takes time to get to the top. But the structure won’t change. I’m looking for the structure which I laid out. Thx

No. I won’t go from a steady job to a temp service. I can afford to be picky. And I will be. I’ll wait till the right situation arises. There isn’t a reason to be hasty. I’ve identified what’s happening at my current job. So now I plan for my next step. Gathering information now. I’m not a job hopper. I’ve been at my current employer for going on 13 years.
I don’t mind working. From what I’m reading, LTL would be a step back from fs for the work part goes.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -

Shaw runs exactly like LTL. Daytime drivers are called LTL drivers and are no different from any of the other LTL P&D drivers out there. Only difference is they specialize in nothing but flooring.
Depending on what type of run you have, you may have up to 15-20 stops delivering to retail stores or flooring showrooms, bulk deliveries, shuttling loads form DC to DC, or yard jockeying. Deliveries can be anything from carpet, tiles, wood flooring, cement boards, adhesives, etc., basically anything that involves flooring. Loads are usually palletized and unloaded with a pallet jack and liftgate if they don't have a dock, or by forklift if they do, or tailgate the load to the end of the trailer for the forklift to take off. Carpets are normally unloaded by forklifts with carpet pole attachments.
Paywise, Shaw is around $27 an hour around my area, but I think it's around $24 an hour on average nationwide. They have different 8 hour shifts. Shift 1,2, and 3 will vary as each DC will have different start times. They also have what's called a "B Shift" which are 12 hour shifts. Some DC's, you can have a 4 day work week at 10-12 hours a day, or a 5 day work week at 8-12 hours a day. OT is paid after 40. WEEKENDS ARE OFF. Don't know about the benefits but they do match whatever you put in for the 401k.
Overall...they're a fortune 500 company and have one of the largest private fleets in the nation. You can do a lot worst than work for Shaw.KullenTrucking, speedyk, Cardfan89 and 1 other person Thank this.
