Told Werner I woud do Dollar Gen.
As a former DG manager, let me assure you..getting in good with the people at the store has nothing to do with it. Payroll hours are so short that there was no way I could offer any help to the driver whatsoever. You will be unloading alone and moving those rolltainers into the store. Yes they have lift gates..they will allow you to take 3 rolltainers at a time out of the truck or load 3 empties onto the truck, but it is all you. And let us hope for your sake that they are still at least trying to enforce the policy about freight in the backroom. The day I took over my store there was 38 rolltainers already in there and guess what...it was delivery day! I wish you the best but my advice is don't do it.

Werner Regional Dollar General
I was a store manager for DG..trust me the jib is hard. The money sounds good but you are going to work for every cent of it. When they build the stores they couldn't care less about how the truck is going to get in position to unload....my store was VERY difficult. My opinion is pass on this no matter how good they make it sound.

Current Werner Dollar Store Driver
I was a store manager for DG...trust me...the job is hard. Especially when you hit a store that has a backroom that is already full and you have to figure out how to get 30 of those rolltainers in it. $1300 a week sounds good but you will earn every penny of it. And when they build the stores they don't care at all about how you will get the truck in there.

Introduction & Starting CDL School
Great story Toonces! Glad to see another Sooner on the boards. (Even though I have lived in Arkansas now for more years than Oklahoma...I was born and raised there so Boomer Sooner!) I have read a LOT of good things about Central Tech and I think you are in very capable hands there. Good luck and be sure to keel us I formed along the way.
