I just started driving for Performance Food Group... I get excellent benefits and I'm guaranteed to make no less than $850.00 a week... but the pay differs from the other P.F.G's... I'm driving out of Bakersfield, California and hauling 7 Western States... We drive teams so I'm home on Wednesdays and the weekend... All the routes are different but everybody's pretty much home about the same amount of time...

I was just driving tankers for a local company but I was not gaining any experience due to it being local... then, I was gonna go with C.R. England but I heard the horror stroies so I went with P.F.G. to get some experience...

Now I have a question... Will driving 7 Western States get me some experience under my belt or will my experience be treated as local since I don't drive cross country???

 

Well I think I'm gonna give trucking a break and try car sales. I start in 2 weeks. I'm just burnt out on trucking. If sales doesn't work I will get the other 4 months and get a local driving job.

 

Try to find a Toyota or Honda dealership to work at. Both have a very solid reputations high quality and high re-sale values. They practically sell themselves. Hyundai's sales are also on the rise and they have a very strong warranty. Ford, General Motors & Chrysler are having tough times to say the least. So, I would stay away from them. BOL to you.

 

I got on with a high volume Mozda dealership. I think I well do well there.

 

Nevermind all the rambling, since I finally noticed you already hung it up.

 

just curious aspin, but did you research car sales to see how the market is doing? With the economy slowing I'd be leery about selling anything that is a luxury and not a necessity.

 

Kinda sorry to hear that you didn't stick it out for the full year, but that's okay and your decision. Keep us posted as to how it works out.

One more thing, don't forget to tell the dealership that you have a CDL. You never know how that might lead into a local gig hauling cars. Good pay and steady!

Best of luck to you. Trucking is NOT for everyone. You are right to feel PROUD that you did it, even if just for awhile. Hey, here's a thought.... how about selling TRUCKS???

Good luck selling "cars". Is Mazda a car?
Sell American. In either case, I'm sure
you will hate it.
YOU'LL BE BAAACK! :lol:

 

can take the driver outta the truck, but NEVER the truck outta the driver
