STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT
Three things you should know before you apply. This is a slip
seat operation, so you will not have an assigned truck — you take
what's ready when you come on shift, and if having your own truck
matters to you, that's worth knowing now. It's a night shift, not
sometimes-nights, and your five days run Thursday through Monday
or Friday through Tuesday, so weekends are built into the
schedule rather than being the exception. Holidays get worked
when the customer is shipping, and that includes holiday nights.
In exchange: you're home every single night, you get two days off
consecutively instead of scattered across the week, the work is
predictable at two runs a day, and every stop and short run pays
on top of your mileage. Five seats are open, so there is room to
get placed.
