    I actually lucked out with an interview with Perdue in a couple of days. They are local and I'd be gone 1-3 days at a time.

    Well like I said those slaughter houses are nasty. Make sure your air conditioner works. You won't be able to keep smell out. But the flies will stay out. But with a dedicated route you generally don't wait. And you go to same places. Usually slaughter house refrigerator warehouse and back. I thought it was a great stepping stone. But don't want to do it again

    Haha I'm well aware of the smell. I have several (Perdue, Tyson, and Mountaire) all around me. I still think the chicken poo they spread in the fields is 10x worse.

    Bit of an update since last. I received a phone call from a local chicken plant about a week and a half ago. They had my application on file and were hiring drivers for and entry level training program. I was relieved because they usually require 2 years experience. A benefit on my end is they are typically gone 1-3 days and then back home.

    Went through the interview, HR/Safety sign off, and drug test with no issues. I start orientation on Monday and will be placed with a trainer after Friday.

    Good for you. Just remember one thing; the day you feel you have nothing left to learn, turn in your keys.
     
    Gojira and John E. Thank this.

    Werner has a Best Buy account based out of Curtis bay MD. It’s a good paying, easy account. Some tightish backs but most are easy. No touch freight. 2-3 stops a day but last stop is drop and hook. Not overnight driving. You dont even have to start driving super early most days, can park truck at Curtis bay and drive personal vehicle home most days if you live close enough. And they dont run on weekends. It’s one of those Werner accounts that if you live close to the distribution center it could be a pretty sweet gig.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.
