McLane Distribution....Can't find anything on them here....

Fredericksburg?

 

Pretty hard work...pay is some of the best in trucking..

I've talked to some of the guys at a facility once when I was making a delivery.

Call them and see what's up..

 

They bought out a company that I used to work for in California. We did kfc, taco bell, pizza hut, and burger king. I don't know if they do them nationwide or if they even still do them at all.

They also took over the wawa account from another company that I used to work for. They also deliver to 7-11.

I never worked for them, but I understand their pay and benefits are good.

You have to be ok with unloading the trailer, and I think they normally send a helper with you.

Another similar type company is mbm foodservice.

 

Ozark Motor Lines: 100% no-touch freight, no NYC, no Canada. Trucks have APU's. They hire new CDL graduates.

Howard Transportation is another good option, no driver load or unload.

 

If you don't want to touch freight you don't want to go to Mc Lane, You will unload every item either in a tote or a box off that truck in a certain time limit or you won't be doing it very long, They pay well but they micro manage the drivers, everything is scanned several times into the trailer and then back off the trailer, You get a piece pay plus weight and stops, Here in Az they run teams or solo you have to agree to both runs, They go out with one deliver run the route and the driver that was not driving out drives back. 2-3 day run 1-3 runs a week, you may be put on a single driver run out with 6 stops! BIG loads but not very many of them, and then back and then back out on a 2-3 day run then a reset. So if you are looking for NO TOUCH RUN!!! and do not look back!!

 

They've been advertising a lot the last month or so around the Twin Cities too, on the radio anyway.

Check my thread out. I just started with them, only been four days. I will give you my honest opinion despite my short tenure with them so far. It's NOT your normal trucking job, it is much much more than just driving a truck and this caught me off guard. I knew it was tough work but its a lot to know. You will start on the extra board meaning you will fill in call outs etc you will be on call! If you don't hustle all of the drivers will know about it (word spreads like fire whether you are good or not) and no one will pick you up, meaning you won't make $$$. Majority of their runs are in the evening or really early in the morning. With my trainers route I usually start anywhere from 4:30-6:30 PM and finish anywhere between 5-7 AM. Did I say its hard work? Trailers are filled from floor to ceiling with anything from cases of water, to heavy boxes of fountain soda refills. I know it varies by state but down here we deliver to Walmart, Sams, WAWA (gas station), Race Trac (gas station), 7/11, Walgreens, Target, and other small convenience stores. Only the top drivers get to bump the docks at Walmarts, Sams, and Targets and that is what threw me off. (I was expecting SOME dock bumping). Hand trucking 300 lbs of freight down a ramp and into a convenience store gets old quick. Especially when once your done at one stop, you drive 2 lights down and your at the next one. Once you arrive you have to wiggle the truck through the gas station, bring the stuff down, place it where it needs to go, scan it, count the pieces in the boxes (if prompted) and go over what your missing with the store clerks, get your paper work signed and do it all over in about 5 minutes for the next 12-14 hours. You finish the stops, your tired, hungry, and sleepy, but once you get to the yard its more work, you have to then unload all of the empty totes (plastic boxes), clean the trailer, take the truck to the fuel island, pick up all of your load locks and drop them and your hand truck off at this designated spot. Oh and make sure while all of this is going on all of your paper work is in order lol otherwise you will be scrambling to make sure you have the right things. You then sign off on PeopleNet, drive home, sleep (if you can) and be back at work in about 9 hours or so to repeat.

I am not trying to discourage you in any way, I just want you to know how its like from someone who just started with them. Mclane is a great company with excellent benefits and pay and maybe you will like it, truck driving period is not a glamorous or easy job but with Mclane you really have to like the job to do it. If you have any questions shoot them my way and I will try my best to answer them.
