Does anyone works for Sherwin-Williams??

i made 91k last year and was home every weekend.. there was a hand full of times i didnt get home till saturday and a handfull of times i left out on sunday but thats due to where i live...its different work than what the teams do but its a great place to work!!

 

She's got 6mo and counting. They want 2+ years. I've always heard working for a private fleet is the way to go.

Ashley furniture (maybe not anymore)
Hobby Lobby
DOT foods
Etc

 

What is the process of transferring to other terminals. I'm in the central valley ca, so I assume I would be out of Reno? Considering moving to Springfield mo, and saw they had jobs there as well. Would it be better to move then apply in mo or is a transfer pretty easy?

 

im not sure how that would work but i wouldnt think it would be difficult...they are adding the KC stores to the effingham dc so plenty of work....call brad in dispatch in effingham and ask him..good luck...

 

CTS driver? Is CTS a contract company or just what does CTS stand for?

I’ve applied to CTS and got a phone call from HR out of Effingham. I have a boatload of questions that I hope won’t bother you. Let just start off by saying that I have 40 years safe driving, no tickets, and have driven the last 6 years for The same company. I have been a trainer for them the last 5 years. I have delivered to SW in Reno a number of times but never spoke to one of your drivers. I live in South Florida near West Palm Beach and applied to what I thought was the DC in Winter Haven.

What I am looking for at this stage of my life is to not be on the road as long as I am. I am looking for something I can end my career with. The little bit I have researched sounds like something that would suit me just fine. As a trainer at Abilene, I made $81K last year. The number might sound good, but I’m tired of sharing my truck with complete strangers. If I stop training, then I loose about $12-15 thousand a year.

I’m not going to bore you with all my details, but I am hoping you can give me some insight on the type of jobs in the trucking portion of CTS and what I can realistically expect to make. I’m interested in more that just income, it's the other parts that I am curious about, health insurance, 401K, time off and so on. Thank you for your time, be safe, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Firstly, I know nothing about the Southeast region. I've learned that each region is run (and paid) a bit differently depending on the transportation manager at each DSC though I think you'd be hard pressed to find a full time driver that made less than 75k unless they took significant time off for an illness or the like.

I'll just say that I made more than you working Mon-Fri mostly. I worked 3 or 4 Saturdays last year and one of those was due to a breakdown. It's a good place to work and I've no intention of leaving until (early) retirement age. As for your other questions;

Everyone peddles paint. Usually to the stores but we've started doing Lowes and Menards stores this year. You'll have a pallet jack and it's your job to tailgate pallets at the stores. It's a hustle job. There is no write a comcheck and take a nap here. Some days you'll bump your 14.

Benefits are good and start the first of the month following your date of hire. You'll have vacation time depending on date of hire plus 2 personal days from day 1. You can contribute to the 401k immediately though the 6% match doesn't kick in until 1 year of service. They also contribute to a pension annually that's a percentage of you gross pay based on your age + years of service.

Total compensation is easily over 100k a year for me anyway. Any more questions, ask away or PM.

 

Contract Transportation Systems, it’s a subsidiary of the Sherwin Williams Company. It’s basically their trucking division. Kind of like how Wal Mart Transportation is separate from Wal Mart Inc, Trans Papa Logistics for Papa Johns Pizza, and Gemini Transport for Loves Country Stores.

Private fleets are kept separate for legal and business reasons.

 

Why you keep holding out on that 35k you owe me then? I take installments.
