Driving company trucks for Costco.

Someone suggested Costco to me on a reddit thread. According to the poster, they claimed their drivers only do 40 hours a week. Seems too to pass up if I ever get contacted. Put in an app for the SLC distribution center a few weeks ago, but no calls back. But I'm going to keep persisting for that work/life balance. Already getting to that point where I dread heading back out on the road after 2-3 days off. I'd rather be at home after a shift working on my model trains or down at the range.

 

Currently running milk tankers right now and not really looking at moving towards another long nights out. Got my Hazmat along with tankers. Looking at relocating out of eastern NM. Over a decade out here and I guess I just never caught the itch of the area.

 

There's a few milk plants in the general area. DFA down in Portales, SWC in Clovis, Select plant in Muleshoe, Lonestar Milk in Canyon, and of course Hiland/DFA in Lubbock.

These are all production/processing plants. Some do cheese, some do powdered milk, some do straight up bottle/pasteurized.

 

I remember delivering to one of their DCs when I was with Swift back in 2007. They were horrible with the outside carriers. But the company guys were probably treated like gold.

Not too concerned about overtime. If regular time pays decent enough, I just like to head back home and hit the range or play with my trains.

Too ugly to have gotten into the child support drama that seems to keep many fellow drivers running hard. Just a lonely old cat guy on the train spectrum.

 

After awhile you just got to throttle back. Even a strict 5x12 would be cake again.
