Default CVS dedicated account.....How physical.....

I found a new job hauling for cvs pharmacys. It's all driver unload. They say you use a "10 foot track"?? and take the goods into the store. Doesnt tell me much.

Has anyone ever done a gig like this? The money & schedule sound decent, but I dont wanna be thinking to myself everyday "I wish I would have never done this!"

I know it varies from one person to another, but basically on a scale of
1-10 (a food service gig being 10), how bad really is it?

I know that most of the products are in totes and from what I have seen from the them unloading at stores, they just slide the tote out of the truck to the store employees. I would have to say it is about a 6 on that scale since some of those totes could get heavy.

Well that dont sound too bad at all double R.
Lets hope it's that easy. I dont like regretting things.

Now...Stupid me, I happened to ask what type of trucks they run, but didnt ask about trailr size. It would be a Bit(h trying to get a 53" in some of these cvs pharmacys....Hoping for something smaller for that reason alone.

Most likely 48' trailers. I have seen them alot on the PA pike espically by the exit for the DC. I have also seen them dragging two 28' pups across the pike and single pups. Most likely they will have you pull a trailer that fits the route.
