Ace hardware???

i'd suspect, that as a COMPANY driver...FOR Ace, and NOT a contracting company, they must offer that and more..

however...delivering to hardware stores would be like delivering to Dollar General stores, Family Dollar, and Dunkin Donuts..

meaning small shopping centers, old cites/tight streets, and YOU lump ALL that load at each stop.

no thank you very much, come again soon...

You got that right. In some places, you are making deliveries late at night and the store is empty. I respect those that do it. I is not one of them!

 

that's pretty much what me and the co-workers do now. we have the keys and alarm codes or if an electronic door locks, we have that code as well

for us, we have to work with in a perimeter of the loading dock. go past that marked area, and the alarms go off and yes, the cops do come.

when i first started, i was setting off the alarm at my last stop. it was a VERY TINY area, for the freight they got, as well as the freight they had on the dock, going back to the d/c center.

about the 3rd time if i recall, when i set off the alarm, the regular shift cop came, he yells thru the dock door padding, "Buddy, that you"?

i yells back, "yup Dave, you bring the hot chocolate"?

i actually did buy us hot chocolate that night. the cops where we go, know "of us" since they see pur trucks each night at or about the same times.

many times, if any one of us set off the alarm, they just look thru or call us from the dock door padding, then they leave. they have to respond, as the alarm company keeps a log of alarms.

after about the 47,000th time, of me setting off the perimeter alarm at my last stop..??

the customer EXPANDED the perimeter........


honestly, i even managed to set that off once...lol

i had a 8 foot tall reel of wire flex cover (what you see under the hoods of our cars, trucks that black springly looking thing), and that reel was not secured by the warehouse, and rolled all the way to the back wall.....lol

 

I work out of the Colorado springs warehouse, not sure which one you were looking at. It's regional so out and back resets at home between loads at home and number of days just depend on length of run, longest is not usually more than three days out. Freight is mostly loaded into containers a little bigger than a pallet that you use a pallet jack to move. How far depends on the store but most will take it off with a forklift. You are paid sleeper pay and backhaul hourly pay starts from immediately until you are done. It's not bumping docks but it's really not that hard unless your the kind to get winded just getting in and out of your truck. Oh and it is a bid system so routes are bid on based on seniority but you'll usually make more on the extra board anyways, again if your not lazy and will take all the work they'll give ya.

If you watch the video on that link Terry and Reggie still work here the others retired.

 

I would have thought unloading it was a bonus, great exercise!

 

Slip seating or do I get my own truck? And will they let u take it home?
Thx
