I was wondering which company or companies have the dollar tree account in California. Having an account where I could unload the truck myself is something I'm considering. Thanks! Steve

 

Im sure its swift that has that account

 

In the Portland, OR area Schneider has the Dollar Tree acct.

 

Steve ~ there are a lot of co's in our area that are looking for drivers who want to unload the trucks. Quite a few jobs on craigslist that are local in fact..

 

Hi Alice! You are really becoming a huge benefit to me with your knowledge! I have seen those jobs, but, they want some experience first. I thought if I could get on with a major company and learn the ropes of the trade first. Then I could see what my options are after the first year.

 

Enroll in a good school like Western, they will help you get a local job.. Many of the beverage co's hire new drivers as well in our area. Heck, I hired a guy straight out of school to drive my transfer truck when I had my baby, I guess my point is sometimes it may seem like the odds are against you, but if you want it bad enough you can usually find a way to get yourself there.

 

Love your attitude! Well, I just contacted Western today to sign up for weekend classes beginning in September. I'm sure when I'm in school I'll probably change my mind about what I want to do several times! Thanks Alice! You're too cool! Steve

 

Maybe I'll come in and visit a weekend class sometime, although I normally see the weekday classes..

Like I said, make friends with your instructors there it will make life much easier on ya

 

Western truck school? BOOOOOOOO!!!!! Western Pacific Truck school REPRESENT!!!! :lol: :lol:

 

Lumping freight is for junkies and stewbums. Especially those McMega carrier "dollar" type acounts - nothing but ballbusters.

As a driver, your job is to safely and professionally get the load to its destination. Once there, you check-in, give em' your bills, then kick back in the sleeper for some much-needed R&R. Let the tow-motor or lumper service do the heavy lifting.
