    Hello drivers.
    I have been approved by Werner. Only company that will take me at this time due to 6mo past experience 4 years ago. I have to drive with a trainer for at least 175 hours. I can get on a Dollar General account after that, well they say.
    What I want to know is UP TO DATE CURRENT information on them. I know they are kind of a "bottom feeder" company from what I am seeing on here. Don't plan on going in looking for the Lost City of Gold or anything. Just want to get my time behind the wheel again. I want to end up back doing flats because that is what I did before.

    Please no monkey poo throwing in my direction. Just honest, upfront information about them please!

    Thank you and drive safe drivers!

    If you're gonna take the Dollar General dedicated account, PLEASE be careful. Those rolltainers weigh upwards of 1,000 lbs. a piece. I've seen alot of drivers get hurt by those when I worked there. I'd look into the General Mills account if you get the chance. .30 per mile to start, all drop and hook freight. Nice account to be on. Also, stay in communication with your Student Driver Manager. If your trainer is not working out, let your SDM know as early as possible, so you can get on another trainer's truck. Good luck.
