STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT
Four things you should know before you apply. This is a slip seat
operation, so you will not have an assigned truck — you take what
is ready when you come on shift. Wait time at the stores is part
of this job; you will sit some days, and the backhauls add to
that, so if sitting makes you crazy this account will test you.
Weekends are required and holidays get worked. And be straight
with yourself about the five-day schedule: it pays $800 to $1,200,
and that $800 floor is a real number, not a formality. If you need
to be at the top end every week, the six-day schedule is where the
money actually is. In exchange: you never touch the freight, you
are home every single night, you get short haul pay on top for the
quick runs, and you get something almost no dedicated account
offers — a real choice about whether you work five days or six.
Pick the one that matches what you need, and know what you signed
up for either way.
