Navigation for newbies (emphasis on parking lots)
I did Dollar Tree for two weeks right after mentoring. Made 2k a week but worked 12 to 15 hours a day 7 days a week. You have to be off duty or in the sleeper while unloading, even then having enough time to get a shower at the end of the day is a struggle.
15 hours in a 110 degree trailer isn't fun, throwing 20 tons of boxes on rollers gets old, quarter will fall off. You can bust ass but the bottle neck is minimum wage employees working in their air conditioned stock room.
Getting into the stores was challenging and fun but risky, almost rolled the trailer once. I miss it but don't regret quitting, especially with the temps we're having now.
