Dollar General Dedicated

They do have their own trucks? All the trucks I ever have paid attention to pulling their trailers were mega carriers.

Edit: Appears they do. I just never have paid attention to a company truck pulling their trailer I guess. According to their website they pay $200 per day for training for someone with no experience. So I would imagine the pay would be better hiring directly on to them, but could be wrong.

 

I saw a DG truck today. I remember looking at it thinking ….wow..I’ve never seen a DG truck/trailer. Just trailers pulled by other companies.

 

Be careful…most DGs are in rough areas.

 

I just wonder what these companies definition is of "a day"? It could make a heck of a difference between what you get paid and the hours you put in.

 

You should search “Dollar General”, in this forum. Plenty to read.

You’re worth more than what they pay. Most DG’s have some aspect of blindside backing. They’re an absolute PITA to get in and out of (customers are NOT going to cut you any slack). There are too many other opportunities out there.

 

BZZZZZZZZT you're better off somewhere else. Lexington, KY must have something way better than that.

Congratulations for posting on TTR and asking for feedback on your new job offer. Most drivers don't think to do that. That tells me you're pretty smart.
After 30 days, you will hate that job. Dollar Generals are located in strip malls with almost no room to maneuver a 53" trailer. If you just runover a landscaping shrub, that is an accident. And the store employees can't wait to call corporate for that "accident". You will ding up your safety record, and then finding another job will be very difficult.

Yes, find something else. And come back and post again.

 

As others have suggested above...find another gig (besides "dollar" store accounts/deliveries).

Odds are pretty good that you will hate it.
