Shamrock Foods? Albuquerque

So I chickened out of going here a few weeks ago, but a recruiter still got a hold of me after the fact in regards to a straight up, delivery position out of their Albuquerque facility. I'm still playing around with prospect of having to give up the days-off that I'm accustomed to in exchange for a more stable, paycheck.
My main questions for anyone driving, or having had driven there are these:

-How are days off scheduled there?
-Aside from the physical grind of moving product from the trailer to the customer, how is management overall towards drivers?
-And of course, how well is equipment taken care of there?

Any other facts that I haven't asked about, feel free to add those too.
My shuttling gig here at my current company was going alright. But then they started forcing us to deliver these powdered milk plant runs where we get paid $40/load and spend about 3-4 hours waiting to get unloaded. This versus $70/load to get shuttled/unloaded at the cheese plant where it's only a 1-2 hour wait and much closer to the yard. After starting out here making $1000-$1200/week, these $600-$900/wk checks are feeling kind of dismal. Time to up the game and suck it up in other areas if need be.

It's either this place or get cracking on this Old Dominion application I just received via an email link for linehaul.

 

Hey, there. Yeah, lots of wishy-washiness on my part thanks to my reluctance to abandon the Weds/Thurs off I've become accustomed to. Reality in the money department is slowly starting to hit me though and many hard decisions are being mulled over.

 

I just thought something like Weds/Thursdays off would be easy to get since "everyone else" seems to prefer actual weekends off. But as I poke around the LTL and foodservice landscape, I'm finding much to my horror that they all operate on the outdated, M-F model. On my off-days, I've developed a rather exciting social life. That goes down the tube, I just feel I'll be back to my mopey old ways despite the money coming in.

Eh, I'm honestly thinking just pay off my tank of a pickup truck off slowly and perhaps go into a medical related profession. That's about the only other field where you could have nights off in the middle of the week.

 

The four day a week, work-week seems alright with me. Three days off to unwind and do some non-truck, road-tripping is always a good bet. But as you said, the short-handedness is going to make that a no-go for at least year. As far as the ABQ terminal goes, I called the TM there, but no answer yet. I'll probably call the recruiter back and see if I could be put back in the game. Already did a physical and a road test there not too long ago, so we'll see if I could get back on their good side. With the desperation for clean drivers they're touting, it might not be that bad of a stretch.
As far as dealing with losing my Weds/Thurs nights off, I'll see how long I could cope.
I just bought a used, 2008 Honda Shadow and it just needs a new title. Use that to irk out aggression during the days off and get some fresh air until I could find my way back to Weds/Thurs nights off.
I live for my Youtube and Instagram pages.

That and the Indian River shuttle thing is getting a little iffy. Lots of outbound loads, loaders taking their trailers straight to the cheeseplant dropyard to be dropped as opposed to live unload,. and forced runs to a low-paying, powdered milk facility that takes four hours to live unload(cheeseplant only takes two hours at the most and pays $70/unload).
The money games are really turning me off after almost two years there.

 

Well, looks like they might be giving me a shuttle run over there. Seems easy enough in order to make the split days off garbage work. Come to think of it, I wonder what one was thinking when they came up with the concept of "split days off". Just another cheap way of saying they need to get more work out of fewer employees or something.
On another upside, the colleges in Albuquerque seem to have a wider variety of programs. Do my run at night, a class or so during the day, study/sleep, and then get back to work.
Eventually, I'm going to find my way out of the hustle and bustle.
