Walmart here I come!

The sun isn't up most Wal-Mart trucks don't start, those days are over, lol

 

Whatever his scheduled start time is, policy allows the driver to leave up to one hour before.

 

Thanks, Matt and middleoftheroad !!!

LOLOLOL not exactly what he's accustomed to ... However, when you factor in the 2.5 hour commute -- call it 3 hours, if he starts an hour early at 09:00, he will be leaving home at 06:00. That means getting up 05:00-ish, still kinda late for him. With the weird weather we've got moving in right now, though, he may be leaving even earlier to allow for that. New England winter is really just beginning now, and the further northeast you drive the nastier it gets.

Oh -- know what? I seem to recall somebody addressing this, but when Brian asked me about it I couldn't remember (I've taken in an overload of info, dontcha know, LOL) ... What are new guys paid during Orientation and Mentor Week?

 

it wouldn't surprise me if more outfits went to a policy like this..

 

Well that's better than them firing you or saying we can't hire you because you stay to far...lol

 

A driver that takes a position and lives that far away should already have a plan. Just my opinion of course.

 

Orientation is 14.00 an hour. Then just like drozzer said .. out with a trainer you get Miles and activity pay.

 

Congrats on your Sutherland start. Been there since it opened in 1991. Good place to work out of … good people.
