Experienced local driver considering CRE OTR Dollar Tree position

Drive by ANY Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Advance, Pizza Hut, 7- Eleven, etc. First, imagine how you would get a 75' vehicle in there close to a back or side door in order to hand unload. After that, imagine getting in and out of the same parking lot full of cars during peak times. Some of these routes are going to be multiple stores each day.

If this is a "home each night" gig, you will be off ten hours from the time you get off duty at the DC. That's the commute to and from work, sleeping, shower, eating, etc. That's a minimum of five days a week, every week. Many of your days for the first several months are likely to actually be 16 hours at work.

If I were 30 years younger with 10 years driving experience, I would pass.

DAC Question

This should be what is termed as a "fix it ticket". If he gets it repaired, all he needs is to go by a scale in the state, and get a full equipment check. If that's good to go, the inspector will sign off on it. The driver will send this paperwork to the company as being compliant again. Once the company signs their portion, it gets sent back to the California DMV. All is forgiven.

***All of the above hinges on what the officer checked on the citation form.***
