I would disagree. As a recruiter I always judge jobs by keeping in touch with the drivers I put on it. The vast majority of drivers Ive put on PPG over the years have been really happy with it. Yes, its more of an OTR job. Running all over the place. However its almost all drop and hook, the miles are consistant, and you will always get home for 72 hours every other weekend. (Its great for divorced dads who have their kids every other weekend)
Yes, the auto parts runs are good runs if you are talking about being easy. Home a few times during the week and off for a day and a half over the weekend. Always running to the same place. Funny thing about those auto parts runs. They are probably the easiest jobs for me to fill as a recruiter. They are also the lowest paying jobs I have in the company. Usually about 38-40k a year. Go figure. But hey, if I have a driver set on PPG and the auto parts job opens up, I would be happy to move him. The auto parts job pays me a better commission. However, if you havent noticed, I like being honest about jobs on this board and HONESTLY, the PPG job is a better job when you are talking about making more money.
Also the auto parts jobs are pretty hard to get on. When they open, they fill fast. Usually if I talk to a driver on like a thursday and he cant get into orientation by that monday, most likely he is going to be SOL. They absolutely dont like empty trucks sitting there on the auto parts runs. They are going to fill those jobs fast any way they can. The auto parts runs are much easier to get on from inside the company.
