Here is the trade on this account, stated plainly: you give up
having your own assigned truck, and in return you sleep in your
own bed every single night. No touch freight, around $1,600 a
week, and you choose whether you work five days or six.
10 seats open.
THE POSITION
- Freight: dedicated grocery
- NO TOUCH freight
- Live unload
- SLIP SEAT operation — no assigned truck
- Approx. 2,200 miles per week
- Five-day or six-day work weeks — your choice
- Day shift and night shift both open
- Solo only (no team seats on this account)
PAY
- Mileage pay plus stop pay
- $10.00 for your first stop, $15.00 for every stop after
- $25.00 short haul pay on loads under 50 miles
- Average $1,600 per week
- Weekly pay
HOME TIME
- HOME DAILY
- Home daily on this account is specifically for slip seat
drivers — that is the arrangement that makes it possible
- Other home time options can be discussed depending on your
situation
SCHEDULE
- Five-day or six-day work week — your choice
- Day and night shifts both available
- Weekend work required
- ALL holidays are worked on this account
HIRING AREA
- Must live within 65 miles of ZIP 12095 (Johnstown, NY)
- Hiring across the Johnstown and Albany, NY areas — the radius
covers the Capital District, the Mohawk Valley and the
southern Adirondack foothills
STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT
Four things you should know before you apply. This is a slip seat
operation and that is not a footnote here — it is the whole
arrangement. You will not have an assigned truck. You take what
is ready when you come on shift, and if having your own truck is
important to you, this is not your seat and I would rather you
know that now. Every holiday gets worked on this account,
including the two everybody asks about. This is upstate New York,
so you are running real winter several months a year. And 2,200
miles a week while getting home daily means long days behind the
wheel, plus live unloads where you will sit and wait some of
those days. In exchange: you are home every single night, you
never touch the freight, every stop pays on top of your mileage,
short runs under 50 miles carry an extra $25, and you get to
decide whether you want five days or six. Drivers here are
averaging about $1,600 a week. If you can live without an
assigned truck, this is one of the few seats in this region that
pays regional money and still puts you home every night.
BENEFITS
- Medical, dental, vision, life insurance
- 401(k)
