Which compay: XPO or MME?

I'm looking at XPO and the dock work actually makes me a little hesitant.
I don't mind working hard, that's just my nature but I don't want to destroy my body for a job either.
What does dock work intel? Running a forklift for ten hours isn't bad. Or are you finger printing truck loads of freight? Moving tons of pallets with a pallet jack?
There is alot of different types of dock work and I want to make sure that not only can I do it today but also in twenty years when I'm ready to retire.
Please describe a typical day working the docks.
Thanks

 

Most of our dock work is forklift freight. I’d say 90 percent forklift. We get handbalm accounts, tires, jd parts which we lost recently thankfully, blinds, a few accts like that. Your dropping etracks for decking, throwing pallets and sheets of plywood for dunnage. An 8 or 10 hr shift of that can be tiring.

 

I work outbound dock for a different company. Each company will do things a bit different and have their own unique freight. Ours is 90-95% forklift freight. Some nights you do not handle any hand freight. Just depends on the breakers you get. We do use deck bars so we are on and off the forklifts dropping bars as needed. Also you do need to get dunnage as needed for loose barrels and stacking and securing freight. Overall, I enjoy it. It’s fast paced, you do some of the same things over and over but each night is different. We hardly ever use pallet jacks.

 

Dayton Freight is privately owned so you wont be getting any company stock but I think* they have a bonus program

 

Once you hit 3 years at dayton you get the full bonus. It pays out twice a year and is basically 2 extra paychecks
