    From what I've read,you will be unloading the truck by yourself when you arrive at each store.Hard work and sometimes dangerous as boxes fall on you;I think I read that you get paid $40 per stop that you unload at.It's steady, but hard work.I think my son might get one of those accounts when he's done training,it will help keep him in shape as he hasn't exercized since he left the hotel in Allentown(and he eats like a horse,so he needs to work out).

    Guess it was rumor. I had heard that those dollar general accounts paid pretty good and drivers were waiting in line for them. Maybe that was usexpress. I know they do them too.
