    I passed a Publix truck and noticed that they have some nice equipment. So being curious I went home and checked out Publix's website. Only to find out this, "Publix's hiring process for Truck Drivers is strictly a promote from within process. It takes Distribution associates approximately 8-10 years to be promoted to a Truck Driver. All candidates begin in an entry level Distribution position."

    That's along time to become a driver!

    You've obviously never delivered to a Publix DC. 8-10 yrs is about how long they take to unload each trailer.

    Maybe so. But from what I hear, it is a good job.

    Yes, good job. Those drivers make $80K - $100K per year.

    Lol well ####.

    Never heard of Publix until I made drops in Georgia, still never been inside one.
    They do have some nice trucks, though.

    Another good thing about Publix is that they are employee owned as well

    I worked for publix for 4 years in a distribution center their waiting list for the driver position was a mile long so I decided to get my cdl myself. 6-10 years is accurate.
