Evans attitude and work ethic are above and beyond. Very rare. At 24 he has placed himself way ahead of everyone else by these two basic principles on full display.
Wow that's SOOOOO much work!😯 As a couponer at DG, I say a big thank you for doing all of that and helping to keep the stores stocked regularly lol. Best wishes to you in the future 😊
as an ex employee having to deal with people like you i say a big YOU SUCK for making our job harder and adding more stress on top of having to deal with bs trucks like that
Hey Evan, nice clip. Are you still driving Dollar General? My question is I’ve noticed some parking lots to unload are very tight to pull in and to get 180 to back in… Any suggestions? Thank you Hampton
Hey Hampton! I haven't driven semi trucks in about 3.5 years. About 6.5 since I did my last dollar general load. I never had issues backing in at the big places. I had more difficulty at the smaller shops I'd visit. There was only one dollar general store I believe in Fresno, CA that gave me any hassle
I was doing this Oct 2015 to Dec 2016 i am going to re apply again Dec 2018 I do miss this account, working for owner operators i just hate it, i don't care how good the pay may sound or be, i liked the consistent pay here and the workout you stay active and busy. Never have to wait and worry about dispatchers giving the run around You are your own boss all on you how fast you work. My pay was always 750-900 a week always running Mostly Arizona, Vegas and Fresno. I dont know why some dont like it. You can gain experience and do local or another account that will feed you better.
@@ramiroegalo538 bro honestly I didn’t like it but few good things pay is more it’s just Friday is gone you got no time to get ready get things done by the time you want to recover even after Saturday you gotta be ready early Monday, so depends on how far you live from the dc, also I didn’t like it coz it’s lowkey hard work for the pay but I mean I enjoyed it as a start you feel me? I learned how to float the gears & left in 2 months. Bro go work by owner operators trust me.
Disregard some of the things I said here owner operators at paying anywhere from 65-70-75-80 cpm I have major home time I can take vacation whenever basically I let them know a week or two prior, trust me either to get your experience first 6 months+ then doors will open for you.
I would kill for a receiving room that large at our store. Ours is smaller than a single wide trailer and they pack 30+ rolltainers in there weekly. We have to literally climb over rolltainers to lock the back door (fire exit).
@@EvanEversTheCaliKid Absolutely not. OSHA and fire code violations galore. Ours is abnormally small despite its sales. Company would rather build 10+ new stores within a 20 mile radius than relocate an old one to a bigger building. 🤷
Reason why I would never do DG trucking well I live in the Northeast and there is no damn way you're getting me to go into inner northeast cities and do multi-stop DG loads I don't even know if $2,500 a week would entice me.
This job will beat your body down. 3 years dg zanesville oh" my shoulder now crunches when i rotate it, no muscle left.you get hit in head with boxes, carts fall off the back, because the stop wont catch, moody managers, no room in the back for delivery, pushing carts threw snow lol. incline decline parking lots. They dont pay enough to slave at dg
I work at Walmart so you already know unloading on a line is rough. I want a DG account with Werner because I could handle this easy. Are you home daily?
I was home weekly. Werner and Schneider work out of the DC I was at but Schneider pays their drivers quite a bit more. I'd much much much rather deliver Walmart! Where do you drive out of for Werner doing Walmart? St Louis??
Ra' Shauna Carter Not when I worked there . To be fair Snyder paid me. So if you were to work Dollar General for Dollar General or Warner or any other company that hauls their freight they might have a dress code
Hey, Im thinking about going on this account. I dont mind the physical, because I like to stay active. However, how many stores do you hit a day? Is this one store type deal or how many stores would they like for you to average a day? Or stops should I say.
The Loon hey man! Do you know what DC you'd be out of? Since I've left i heard the one in Lebec, CA has gone to crap. A few new district managers haven't helped that either. It depends where the stores are. The most I've had on a trailer is 4. The fewest being 1. Stores per day vary as well depending on your HOS. If you sleep at a store and unload then go to the DC 3 hours later. You'll have time to get another trailer and make deliveries still a few hours away from the DC. It also varies if stores will let you deliver early or not
Edwardsville Illinois. Midwest I assume. Are these loads one stop, or do you stop several times a load? You dont seem to be doing much lifting, just more of pulling carts. Are all loads like this, or some will require to sort boxes one by one?
The Loon this was normal. most stores don't have docks so you'll use the lift on the back of the trailer. Each trailer= a load. Then you'll have any number of stops on a load depending the number of stores stuff they get on your trailer.
The Loon its mostly pulling and pushing carts. the only time I had to restock anything is when one of these carts would roll over. with the big stuff on top in the first bit of the video you would stack as well but the stuff on top is light
Ok not bad. I didnt understand about the load. I was meaning was 1 load, 1 store? Or is one loaded trailer= several stops? If so, How many stops and unloads a day on average?
Chris Croteau I’m on the account too it takes me about 2and a half hours per stop for 1200 pieces some stores takes more just depends on how smart can you work this bitch :) enjoy the sweat 💦
Very good video on how this account works. Schneider is waiting for me to proceed for orientation for this account running WI, ND, SD, IA, IL, etc. Recruiter says 2-7 loads per wk,. $80 full trailer unload. $15 per stop after 1st stop, 2-7 stops per wk. 1600/1800 miles per wk at .36 cpm. Avg 56K 1st year, comes with $10K sign on bonus. 3 wks out. Fly me fom home to Green Bay terminal, out 3 wks, then home for 5 days, plus 2 days for travel.. Your thoughts? Thanks again for posting this video. All the best to you..
Andy Tichenor thanks man. From what you gave me that sounds like a better deal than I got. I was home weekly which made it real hard to get into any type of rhythm. the money sounds right as well. Good luck to you
Thanks Evan. I meant to type 2-7 stops per per load, not 2-7 loads per week. Lowest paid driver made 45K, highest 70K. I figure ill be right in the middle. Account seems pretty straight fwd. Thinking Schneider is hurtin for drivers on this account to pay 10K bonus plus fly me from ATL and back every 3 wks...
Gotcha.. I'm pushing 50 years old, but in good shape overall.. Thinkin I could handle it.. I appreciate your thoughts my friend.. I'll keep you posted.. Be safe ..
Thanks for info. in video. Were you only paid for your loaded miles? Unloading trailers and driving back to DC paid for too? Curious about that one, if not there's several hours in the day your working free no?
Jack Jones I got paid her stuff except for the last one, per mile pay and per empty trailer. I don't remember the specifics other than after taxes I took home between $700 and $900 a week
I'm thinking of coming to werner not sure who you drove for doin this but I'm thinking about coming to werner and doin one of the accounts ethier dollar general,family dollar etc I was wondering how do you know what stuff goes to what store without looking at each item are they like separated by a strap or something so you know all that goes to this store then the stuff behind this strap or whatever is another stores it sounds like you could get confused especially if boxes fall down and you ask yourself was this on the stack for this store? and if you did drive for werner can you tell me what it was like what to expect home time etc?
TheKwtrucker I drove for Schneider. There were colored tags on items with a store number on them. On this account the loose items on top I had to look at manually for a color. they would be separated by plastic sheeting. it's not the best system but it worked. I would mess up occasionally but usually it wasn't a big deal. Just a bag of toilet paper or paper towels or something which all stores use eventually.
Where did you get the hook? How long have you been on the DG account? How long does it take you to off load at each stop? How many trailers do you complete in one week?
I did it for 6 months. 2 trailers a week but because I wanted to travel to farther stores. Some guys would do 3 or 4. Hook either online (5th wheel pull hook) or truck stop.
@@EvanEversTheCaliKid thanks for the information. I'm training now and am on DG.. I never hear anything pos about the account and that bothers me alil..
yes over worked under paid unloading fregit I expect the min 80k to 100k I made 75k drop and hook once I touched freight I made 97k a year I'm sorry they put u through that good luck on Ur road to susscess.
It's okay if you have a good crew. If the crew sucks your day is MISERABLE! But the work is printed every as to what is to be done. I was offered an asst position but declined. Hope this helps! 🙂
Brandon Williams Haven't been there in years. I made between 7 and 1100 0 week take home after taxes. I was on pace to bring home about 55K had I stayed an entire year.
Adam Panek thank you for your compliment on the video. They advertised I would be home 2 days a week and out for 5. I had to push to make that happen as the dispatcher said I would reset at home. And that was it. I later got in the habit of telling them when I got back I would see them two days later and I didn't get any resistance back. the hours are just like normal. I did the best I could to shower during my break at a truck stop during the day and spend the night at a store and unload the store while still on my 10 to save time.
No I feel most people don't want to do it because you have to drive a 40-80000 pound truck for hours then unload then drive again for chump chaing. Fuck out of here with that slave labor. I drop and hook 1500 a week no labor
It’s way different now bro, just started 1 month ago, they are making improvements. It’s crazy how company’s change drastically over time, one person could have the worst experience of their life and fast forward a few years and another person is thanking god he can finally feed his family, taking him 650 for 3 days of work, with the option of overtime at 30 dollars an hour whenever you want it. I wish the best for your brother.
Does anyone else go on sleeper to save the 14hr? lol i would never go on duty my trainer told me go on sleeper so you save time. just curious who else does that.
Only issue with going off duty is that if something does happen while unloading a trailer at a store is if you do in someway get hurt you will more than likely not get Workers Comp due to your ELog stating you are off duty. Keep that in mind anywhere you go!!
Maybe, just doing it how I was trained. Never had a issue with broken merchandise....except when pushing those carts into a store a jar of spaghetti sauce fell off and hit my head on the way down
Do you think its worth it to go intermodal or back to dollar general? I done dollar general as i posted before, but i don't know if i should go back to that account or do local intermodal.
It took you 2.5 hour to move it from the truck to the back room. Now consider that DG allocates about 40 hours to work each and all those individual cases (and the contents inside) from the back room to specific spot on the sales floor. It is a great opportunity to be able to spend 2.5 hours to unload your truck properly. Now imagine that you have a person telling you that you should be able to do it in an hour.
This looks a lot better than the way the family dollar account unloads and I imagine the backing is easier. The backing at family dollar stores can be a complete nightmare
@@chuckD87 I don't recall for sure since this video was from my last week before I moved on to other trucking adventurers. My memory is that if I spent less than 2 hours at a store I felt good about myself. At the same time I was well known for the guy who moved and unloaded slowly.
DG employees have fucked up attitudes, they have a power trip. We show up and they make the drivers wait over night to unload because the driver is early. They are jealous because we earn more than they do. DG account sucks big time. I got my experience now it's time to leave this POS account.
Yes what DC was it? they were always nice to me and always let me in i remember this one stop in AZ i forgot what city, but the girl let me unload which took me about 2.5 hrs also when i said I'd be done in 1hr or 2, she let me unload other places always let me unload when i got there early, i mean thats the goal.
not too much actually. I just get it enough around the plastic on the outside to pull it down it was rare I would even break through the plastic. I did lose a case of spaghetti sauce that fell off a roll taner one time
This is a relatively easy job compared actually having to work in a Dollar General Store! As a very physical person... you have the EASY MONEY. You don't mention the CONDITIONS that you encounter with many of these messes. You're damaging a LOT OF FRIEGHT! ... But, that's not entirely your fault. All shipments demonstrate a lack of organization at the warehouse- shocking from such a large organization. Get some more experience... ... you'll have more to convey. Honestly... it's good people, like yourself, and some good employees that gets a menagerie like DG Corp. through times. Few and far between. Gonna miss a few people at DG! They don't appreciate us.
Evans attitude and work ethic are above and beyond. Very rare. At 24 he has placed himself way ahead of everyone else by these two basic principles on full display.

I wouldn't open them trailer doors for less than $85,000 a year.....

If you’ve made one single scene about coupons one single time at dollar general to someone who isn’t a lead or manager, you’re genuine garbage.
Rolltainers are positioned less than 3 foot away from electrical boxes. Fire exit too.

@@chuckD87 I don't recall for sure since this video was from my last week before I moved on to other trucking adventurers. My memory is that if I spent less than 2 hours at a store I felt good about myself. At the same time I was well known for the guy who moved and unloaded slowly.
@@chuckD87 As far as backing up goes some of the stories would really test you while others were a breeze. There were a lot of 45ﾟ blind sides.
i'm on this account right now and it's pure cancer. it's not difficult it's full blown aids.
mewkatlol what DC are you out of?
mewkatlol LMBO
I completely agree 😔
New driver here. Why is it a badd account?
And this is why a lot of our things are damaged.. dropping and kicking boxes
DG employees have fucked up attitudes, they have a power trip. We show up and they make the drivers wait over night to unload because the driver is early. They are jealous because we earn more than they do. DG account sucks big time. I got my experience now it's time to leave this POS account.
charles V what dc you run out of?
Yes what DC was it? they were always nice to me and always let me in i remember this one stop in AZ i forgot what city, but the girl let me unload which took me about 2.5 hrs also when i said I'd be done in 1hr or 2, she let me unload other places always let me unload when i got there early, i mean thats the goal.
You destroying the merchandise
not too much actually. I just get it enough around the plastic on the outside to pull it down it was rare I would even break through the plastic. I did lose a case of spaghetti sauce that fell off a roll taner one time
Hard pass from me
This is a relatively easy job compared actually having to work in a Dollar General Store!
As a very physical person... you have the EASY MONEY.
You don't mention the CONDITIONS that you encounter with many of these messes.
You're damaging a LOT OF FRIEGHT! ... But, that's not entirely your fault. All shipments demonstrate a lack of organization at the warehouse- shocking from such a large organization.
Get some more experience...
... you'll have more to convey.
Honestly... it's good people, like yourself, and some good employees that gets a menagerie like DG Corp. through times. Few and far between.
Gonna miss a few people at DG!
They don't appreciate us.
I was just doing what I was trained. Honestly idc cause I knew that gig was temporary. I haven't done it in 3 years. I filmed this my last week
