<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Western flyer, post: 6373312, member: 139219&quot;]It&#039;s called working smart,not hard.</p><p>Do you want to break your back for a grand a week</p><p>Or sit in the truck and watch television while some</p><p>Other guy unloads your truck for the same money</p><p>Or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>And who in there right mind wants to work from 9 pm</p><p>Till 10 am the next morning. That&#039;s no life,I don&#039;t care</p><p>If you go home everyday.</p><p>You ain&#039;t doing nothing but sleeping. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve done them both.</p><p>Now to answer the OP&#039;S questions:</p><p>This was about 10 years ago, but I worked out of Burlington New Jersey doing Walgreens for Ryder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same deal,temp to hire thing.</p><p>We went into n.y.city everyday.</p><p>2 to 4 stops per day.</p><p>About a hour at each stop.</p><p>Fully loaded trailer from top to bottom,</p><p>Front to back.</p><p>When you open the door you jump out the way.</p><p>A pallet or case of bottled water might come crashing</p><p>Down on you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Driver has to get everything to the back of the trailer</p><p>By himself. The store employees take it from there.</p><p>So this should be a daytime job.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rollers and a pallet jack are a must. You&#039;ll die of</p><p>A heart attack otherwise.</p><p>Most of the stuff is in those plastic totes.</p><p>They weigh about 20 lbs apiece and they easily</p><p>Slide down the roller.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s those cases of bottled water ,soda ,and juice and</p><p>Laundry detergent That kick your ###.</p><p>When your done unloading,you take back all of</p><p>Their empty totes with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>We made more than the Walgreen drivers did.</p><p>The Walgreens drivers got paid at flat rate,</p><p>Depending on what route they had for the day.</p><p>No matter how long it took.</p><p><br /></p><p>We got paid by the hour with overtime after 8 hours.</p><p>We were on overtime everyday sitting in traffic out</p><p>In Long Island trying to get back across the bridge</p><p>Into New Jersey.</p><p>It&#039;s the only way the job was bearable.</p><p><br /></p><p>They asked me a couple times to hire on</p><p>With them. I wouldn&#039;t do it. Not for what they</p><p>We&#039;re paying them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually loved the job. Once you know the routes</p><p>It&#039;s a piece of cake. If it was anywhere other than</p><p>N.y. City I would have stuck around.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s definitely a young mans game.</p><p>You will bust your ### everyday.</p><p>Drivers don&#039;t stick around long doing it because</p><p>They can make the same money just holding a steering</p><p>Wheel and bumping dock. So why bother.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was a long time ago,maybe it&#039;s gotten easier now. </p><p>I doubt it though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
