Get ready to be used and abused. Foodliner does not care about the high turnover.

Which is better job
A: Idk bout the work, but I see Foodliner guys at Kraft everyday....don't seem like a very pleasant bunch
A: Have a few dedicated Foodliner guys I see at a location I drop all the time. They are ALWAYS broken down....literally. I'm talking I see the same few guys broke down 2-3 times a week. I'd say good choice on QC.
A: Foodliner has under powered junk for trucks.

Q: How's their hometime? I spoke to Kathy out of the Newark DE Terminal. She told i had to be out 3 to 4 nights a week. I dont mind as long as the money is good and i could a 34 at the house..
A:
Yeah I know Kathy and Doug the terminal
manager.
They tell you out right that YOU are going to sleep in the truck..after all it
has a sleeper.
Doug likes to get his drivers home for the weekend so you should be fine.
Just remember stuff happens and you may get stuck out.
Money wise it's up to you.
I ran Canada and that made a HUGE difference in my check.
They aren't a bad outfit..not perfect but what company is?

Which company do you recommend me in NJ
I
did very well at Foodliner.
Ran a ton of Canada..I was the only guy at my terminal who would every week.
Averaged $1500-1800 in 5 days..$150 border crossing each time.
Home every weekend in order to do my 36 hour reset(Canadian rules).
Ran out of the port of Newark NJ and Blommer Chocolate in PA.
They're a pretty good company..I'd still be there but there was some kind of
dispatcher fight and the Canada freight dried up..so I moved on.
You have to have 1 year experience before they will hire you..no tanker
experience is ok.
