<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brsims, post: 1269081, member: 32079&quot;]First of all, unless you get it in writing, NO dedicated route is garaunteed before orientation.&nbsp; Sorry, but recruiters will tell you whatever it takes to get you into orientation.&nbsp; So don&#039;t be surprised if when you get to orientation you hear the same from the guy running the class.&nbsp; That said, I got onto the General Mills dedicated account straight off my trainer&#039;s truck, and loved it.&nbsp; Up until all my frieght started rolling on road fleet trucks, that is.&nbsp; As far as how dedicated works, that depends on the account.&nbsp; General Mills gave me lots of miles before the crunch, and plenty of time to get from point A to point B.&nbsp; I&#039;ve <i>heard</i> that Dollar General doesn&#039;t give alot of miles, but the drop and driver assist unload pay more than make up for it.&nbsp; The downsides are some <i>incredibly </i>hard backing manuveurs, and dealing with extremely unstable 1,000lbs+ &quot;rolltainers&quot; that get alot of drivers hurt.&nbsp; And by hurt, I mean broken bones and the like.&nbsp; There&#039;s a &quot;business&quot; furniture account, whose name I currently forget, that pays pretty well.&nbsp; Good miles, and driver assist unloading.&nbsp; I ran one of thier loads with Transport America, and driver assist meant I stood the boxes upright while the clamptruck got ahold of them to remove them from the trailer.&nbsp; Not what you would call overly difficult work.&nbsp; There are other accounts, of course.&nbsp; Your best bet would be to find drivers on the particular account, and see what exactly they get, and what they do.&nbsp; Good luck, and no, Allentown is not representative of Werner Terminals.&nbsp; It&#039;s actually the crappiest terminal in the company.&nbsp; So don&#039;t base your opinion of the company on that terminal.&nbsp; I personally prefer Springfield, OH.&nbsp; Or Omaha, of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
