Thanks for the info, I was about to do the northeast account.
Thats nuts.
Hell nah that shit is like slavery all over again
Hell nah that pay ain’t worth it.. You crazy bro! Much better jobs out there. US Express Family Dollar account pays 1700 guaranteed a week.
If you have one? A piss bottle? Throw the whole thing away. Unless you're using one for the week. Dump it out in the grass. Take the bottles out of the truck. Throw them away.
It’s better to throw them away. Well I can’t really say what’s the better option because I always stop to use the bathroom or park in rest areas
@@257truckingvlogTv1 my creaky 63 year old bladder sometimes says. NOW! I wear a guard. Men's guards are like the pads women wear on the inside of the underwear. IF, I leak a little? It goes into the guard. But, if there's no place to stop? I use the bottle. Or, if it's pouring out or 3 degrees and snowing and I don't feel comfortable trudging to the bathroom in the rest area in the middle of the night. That's not surrendering. That's fighting back against the old man. Stay safe and well young man.
How can I apply
@@ashleymartin3752 for Werner or to get on the dollar tree account?
@@257truckingvlogTv1 werner account
You don't miss dollar tree lol Larry is doing 3 loads a week lately $$$ 😂
@@lisakuyide hey Lisa long time no hear hope all is well with you. I’m glad to hear Larry is getting them loads and the coins 💪🏾 I do miss dollar tree sometimes but I’m not sure if I will come back it’s a possibility I’m just tryna enjoy seeing the states and cities for now
@@257truckingvlogTv1 I'm doing alright thanks. Dollar tree is hard work but probably pays better then just driving no? 😒 I hear Wal-Mart pays well but you need so long of driving or something like that...worth looking into. Must be nice going all around so yes enjoy that!
I got my license in May. Im going to orientation for the Coca-Cola account. I don't know what to expect. This will be the first company I'll work for.
No worries bro the account is pretty straight forward I’m not sure if your going to orientation with Werner or coke it self but if your going to Werner on the account you will be picking up pre loaded trailers for delivery to drop them off. The loads are a bit heavy so make sure you have a full understanding of sliding your tandems and what holes you need to be in so the weight is balanced properly. 9 times out of 10 they will be a live unload so make sure you get to your deliveries on time make sure your seals match on the paperwork. Drive carefully so the loads don’t shift and make sure you strap your loads down put like 2 to 3 straps if possible. It’s a simple account just do your best with managing your clock follow your GPS (truck) you will be fine once you get in your groove you will be great out there. Good luck shoot a message if you got any questions
Appreciate your incite. Thinking about doing this after cdl school.
@@RealSoapForRealPlagues yea bro you could get on the account after you get your cdl apply with the company. Coke account is another good account to gain some experience on
@@257truckingvlogTv1how’s the pay on this account?
My wife is a dispatcher starts working 4am too after answering phone for problems as the coffee makes she sends 85 drivers off with their way prints the paperwork and back haul she has the phone a person in front of her at counter while printing paperwork she timed the job you have 90 seconds per driver for In counter young grasshopper they probably did mistaken you for someone else let it be water gone bye trucks are a lifestyle be good to the people's you have the better deal
I would fire her as my fleet manager
I remember working @ home depot and i had to unload an 18 wheeler full of Christmas trees 🌲 from the NW by hand, man was that a task, i went into work @ 6AM and left at 7PM and i still wasnt quite finished
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
For the dollar tree account do you drive during the day or night?
Majority of the loads are done during the day. They do have some over night loads. Only time you drive during the night is if you pick your load up late in the evening
@@257truckingvlogTv1 thanks for the reply. I have one more question, what would you say the average yearly salary is for that location?
@quan5463 last year I made 61k at that location but it was not from dollar tree I made most of my money going over the road or helping out on other accounts to be honest I think you could make 50k over there if you watch my other videos my departure from Werner video I explained that it’s not enough work for us due to there being more than one trucking company there at the dollar tree distribution center. They advertise you can make 100k on that account but the particular location all your delivery are next to each other your not getting any miles over there to make the 100k the people seeing that kinda people are the drivers out in Oklahoma. I’m not sure which location you going to but it’s good on hometime if you have family or your doing other things just get the experience and sharpen your skills there if your a new driver
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Happy Birthday. Enjoy
Thank you 🍻
Maybe you can try the tanker side of Prime. Rex does well. He's done both nonfoods ( inedible) and food grade. I have a friend who works for a smaller hauling additives for paint and adhesives from NJ to Alaska. Seriously. Tankers, most non hazardous. His company has less than 100 trucks. Most of it is "" drop & swap "". Good luck and God bless you .
How many days of home time per week you get on dedicated??
@@ashantajarawayoung2421 honestly dollar tree account is very flexible you it’s no force Dispatch I would say you will have atleast 3 to 4 days of hometime depending on the freight and your needs and how you decide to run your week. But remember this is dollar tree you gonna need as much hometime as possible to recover from the heavy work load you put on your body
U do a good job explain things well not curse every other word a professional pleasure watching u videos stay safe driver
@@jeremyroulett8823 I do all my cursing off camera when I’m not recording I did a lot of cursing in my older videos when I was on the dollar tree account but not on camera. Just try to be respectful as possible because I don’t know who’s watching and if there’s any kids around in the audience so I try to keep it pg while I’m recording. But I appreciate your support. More videos on the way soon!!!!!🔜
Definitely that’s not your fault it’s that shit hole you in…
why didnt you stay on this account?
@bambambino23 we only had access to the Coca Cola account due to the lack of work available on the dollar tree account. Things picked up for a few months on dollar tree they sent us back and then it got slow again they didn’t offer coke loads again to us
Prime is a big and massive SCAM. Hear me out man, let me explain why.... They charge everyone a miles fee. Every single load has it on and at first youre thinking that you are making money. But that excess miles fee piggy bank it tallying up. I left due to my mother dying and they sent me a bill for $10,000 for excess miles. WHAT!?!?! for real. no lie, no joke. I ran and ran and ran and worked and was good to them and loyal and they send me this crazy - insane bill. I did research and found this is common practice of theirs - billing driver thousands of dollars for this excess mile fee. If i cant pick my own loads and they knowingly give me laods with these miles fee, how are we to know what each load is fee-wise and also, what our TOTAL mile fee is. You are making about 70% of what you think you are making, then need to take taxes out, you end up only making about 35%. ANYONE that says otherwise is either lying, ignorant to the FACTS or has been there so long that their granfathered in. I have been in the game for a decade and i also have a MBA degree. I have done leases in the past and this one is bananas. They also steal all of your bonus miles and dont even apply those to your excess mile fee scam charges.
where did you put all that shit in the trailer? be honest lmao.
Luckily there’s dumpsters all over the yard so I just dropped it in the garbage I didn’t leave it cause they would complain about it if they seen me on camera
Yo I never ended up going to the dollar tree account for Werner. I canceled last minute but I’m set to leave on Wednesday Fr fr this time. I already have 3 years experience driving but these local jobs here (San Antonio Texas) either don’t pay shit and the ones that do ain’t hiring. Dollar tree Rosenberg averaging at 1800$ a week maybe more so I’m gone fr fr. Tired of these weak ass checks. I know it’s hard work but at the end of the day I’m the captain of the ship so if I need to take a breather I will do exactly that. How you been tho ? You still over there ??
I been good I left Werner in mid March they was on bs with me with the loads knowing they didn’t have enough for everyone hence why you see 1000+ stores are closing down. But yea pace your self your in Texas so those trailers will be extremely hot try keep as much water with you as possible. If you feel like you may pass out just stop. Take your break inside the truck with the AC on. Before I left they did say this whole setup was going to change to pallets and lift gates but idk when that will happen. You might get lucky with some stores some of those workers will jump inside the truck and help
What states you go doing northeastern flex Dollar account ????
Ny, ct, Vt, NH, Maine, NJ, PA, MA
I start dollar tree account Monday
Good luck hopefully it goes good for you if you got any questions don’t hesitate to shoot a message
My best, best friend is from Middle town Connecticut, I grew up in South Windsor Ct.
Oh you right around the way bro
@@257truckingvlogTv1 👍🏿👍🏿
Are you dispatched out of pittston
Yes I am
Do you like doing this job better then Dollar General Loads I`ve Watched the Videos When you was Working for Dollar General/ Dollar Tree Loads
Things with prime are not good right now I have not had the best experience working here at prime but I can say it’s better than the dollar tree account less wear and tear on my body I’m OTR for now but anything is better working dollar tree loads. Prime right now gets a 5 out of 10 from me so far
64 west to 295 north to 95 north to 695 around the west side of Baltimore to rt 83 north into PA up to Harrisburg and then rt 81 north to Pottsville.
I used to go to Chesapeake and Norfolk alot. I found a truck stop out there on the peninsula. I used to try my hardest to get back through the tunnel/ bridges and headed west and stop on rt 64. Pottsville, PA isn't bad. God bless you and safe travels
You're a regional driver. Swedesboro, south jersey off 295/130. Then to Norfolk, VA.? Chesapeake, VA Beach, it's a flustercluck. Especially now in the summer! Plus? All the military bases. You could go to Bordentown or Carneys Point,NJ to sleep. Vince Lombardi? Did you get to NJ before the break?
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Appreciate you bro 💪🏾
This is frustrating just to watch.
Trust me I wouldn’t even wish it on my worst enemy
Nope can’t sleep wit a reefer running all night
It’s annoying as hell bro no lie
What motivated your decision to roll with prime inc?
I was on touch freight with Werner for 2 years wasn’t paying good for the work load plus other bs that was going on and us not having enough loads every week
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Appreciate you bro
Those sensors are very sensitive! Bahaha! Man,! I wonder if those deer guards give lot's of Co's problems? That's crazy. Looks like Prime has problems too. Guessing everyone does. It's just what you want to deal with. God bless and safe travels!
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
you used to have a great fleet manager, bro 🤷🏽♂️
🤣 until you know who took over and destroyed it some more
Is the Mercedes car next to the truck your car?
The car belongs to the dollar tree store manager
@@257truckingvlogTv1 What kind of car do you usually ride when you say owner operator?
Dollar General is just as bad of a nightmare. Not in all store deliveries but definitely in a lot of store deliveries. Werner bid this crappy delivery contract in and expect the professional drivers to handle the crappy working conditions and make it work.
Yea the drivers got the worse hand of cards dealt when it comes to delivering to the dollar stores. And they expect perfection when you go to the stores with horrible backing conditions
Lease or company
Company
Good luck with the facing cameras
We will see if I’m still around by the time they really start putting them in
Definitely not a fan of the cameras bro
Just breathe. Don't overthink it. Pay attention and enjoy it!!! You're learning about a different world of trucking. Congratulations! I'd look for a place nearby to take the 10 off. Relax. Those are great big old trucks in the docks. They got there. God bless and safe travels!
Yea I was a bit nervous going into the caves from all the other videos I watched some of the docks were near tight pillars but I would definitely go back again
Oh, I comment to early.
Lol
Happy for you young man, now it time to get rid of that Werner intoduction, it made me tire watching you driving and lumping off of all their loads // products.
Appreciate your support 💪🏾

We going up slowly but surely
I work at UPS as a package handler. $300 is what I make in a week to load 2trailers a day. I would love to do this and make 3times that what I make now.
You probably be good for this position but you gotta drive the truck also
Wassup my boy I’m glad u got off that dollar account this is Billz we started Werner at the same time u got me on ig and shit but yo keep doin your thing go up ⬆️ 💰💯💪🏾
Once upon a time dollar general freight was loaded just like the load we just saw. The freight was loaded all the way to the roof. Normally you would think the heavy freight would be on the floor? It wasn't loaded that way heavy bleach would be at the top of the stack. That is absolutely unsafe and totally insane. What I saw when I was pulling dollar general trailers was very unorganized and the professional drivers had to make it work. I also noticed that drivers didn't stay doing that freight very long. Overall I don't think very many drivers last very long doing dollar general freight. The trailers were poorly maintained. The tandems were poorly maintained and the doors were poorly maintained. More recently the freight is put in roll around carts its difficult and the driver is expected to bring back the empty carts from the stores. The space around the stores is very tight then add customers cars it does create challenges. The last thing that I would say is you are at the store and unloading and you run out of hours for that day you will be expected to finish unloading and then be prepared to stay in the parking lot by the store until you get additional hours the next day. Just expect poor working conditions. Inside the trailers are extremely hot during the summer time. Inside the trailers will typically be twenty degrees warmer than the outside temperatures. If it's 90 degrees outside Inside the trailer will be 110 degrees. To sum up working delivering dollar general freight just expect a lot of poor working conditions and most professional drivers just don't do this work very long. I noticed that most who do this long term are those that are living near the distribution center.
Agreed dollar store routes will break you down faster than anything else and the bosses don’t care they just want the work done
