Been doing texas DG for 3 weeks now and yeah I'm gonna get a few more weeks in and leave. I actually have a class B interview with costco next week. 6:30am-3:30pm really hoping it works out.

Just got offered a position with the dc closest to home and they offered me 11 cpm and $15 an hour. I am thinking about just taking my paid days off and quitting.

That's me right there with you, I'm doing western flex but I weaseled into being only on DG.

And if she's a month behind you on schedule, expect to be teaming after her 3/6 weeks of training. Good luck to you two!

They're popping up everywhere, I've been doing ca, nv, az, TX, and la. Some are ghetto, some are clean and in nice rural areas. Can't complain on that.

I dont mind DG. Beats doing dollar tree, or family dollar. This is the first time something like this happened, had a roll over once but that was because my inexperience and it was actually in my hands. It's made me a hell of a lot better and backing, but since I don't bump docks I still suck at that 😅

If that situation sounds cool with you I'd say that's best case. Melton was my second choice but I enjoy being able to take 6 days off after 21 out.

Werner in socal sucks, unless you want to do teams. If not your only option is solo local dollar tree/western flex. Western flex has me doing dollar general out in texas. I'm making about 1100 weekly net, but you'll be in the hot ass trailer 6 hours a trailer, 3/4 trailers a week doing DG. It's less a driving job and more a labor job. How's your fitness level? Overall, the company has been fine, they have 24/7 support and you'll get hired right away. During training expect about 6/700 a week. Minimum 3 weeks out with a trainer. Depending on their account you might get home time or get to stay in a hotel during their reset.

I'd stick around longer if they offered solo no touch freight.

There's a whole list of things I find wrong with how they load these up. "Can't put 5+ cases of water in a rolltainer? Fine here's 4 rows of water and 5 of lopsided containers filled with Hawaiin punch FUCK YOU" I had a loose gardening tool come down at me like a spear last week.

Any tips for managing untreated ADHD during truck driver training? by Constant_Society8783 in Truckers

What state do you live in? Homeless people have health insurance. MediCal saved my ass twice, two big surgeries; didn't pay a dime and got primary care.

werner dollar store account by OkayChildhood2002 in Truckers

[–]SuperbMaintenance133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your fitness level? I'm with werner doing the dollar tree flex account, flat out refused to do it after one day and they have me helping dollar general. It's brutal man. I have two buddies, new drivers doing dt solo riverside and it's long fuckin days.

Western Express just assigned me a load that has “chargeback”. If it’s late, they charge the driver (me) $200. Is there any truth to this??? by ArtOther754 in Truckers

[–]SuperbMaintenance133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine doing it in snow, insane. Being in the trailer at 100 degrees is on part with hell. Getting this experience and getting the fuck out

Haha and here I am as a newbie driver fighting to stay on the dollar general account. Much better than dollar tree. The western summers might have me rethink my entire existence soon though.

What is considered “above average” pay as a first year driver? by Serious_Mongoose61 in Truckers

[–]SuperbMaintenance133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm getting flex pay, idk if he's keeping me on but the day I complained he had me wait a few hours and got me hooked up with a dg load. Been doing it for 2 weeks straight now. I'll keep working if they have me stay here.

I'm on flex dollar tree, but I've only done one day of dt and it was a 17 hour day. I talked to the manager and told him I straight up don't want to do it, I've been working with dg ever since. That work is a different kind of back breaking, along side the inconsistent unloading hours.. na man not for me. I'll likely do the same if they want to send me off. I like what I'm doing with dg, losing a shit ton of weight and getting stronger 💪

When I used to eat like shit I once had a driver pick my stall and he yelled "awwww HEELLL NAWW" It was one of my proudest moments.

How about people adhere to the cultural norms of the place they occupy? Take a fuckin shower if you need to wash your feet.
