Family Dollar at US Xpress part 1

[@davidhoward5687]

US Xpress now has a Dollar Tree account that I'm on with and it's guaranteed 2k a week, if anyone is interested.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

Now they guarantee?

[@davidhoward5687]

@@stewslogisticsllc9460 Yeah. It’s worth it, I’ve made a few checks hitting $2,200 a week with them, comes out to between $1,600 - $1,700 a week after taxes. It doesn’t say guaranteed in the description for the job, they use the word true up for it, as long as you do your job for the week you’ll make it but if weather, traffic or whatever else may be the case causes you not to hit your 2k a week mark they will round it up to 2k.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

I agree

[@agtechandrepairs9347]

Thanks for the video man, I'm talking to a recruiter about a FD account for US Xpress. This was helpful.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

No problem bro, just make sure they paying you enough for the work you’re doing?

[@WeaponryFitness22]

I have been on FD account for two years and don't see myself going anywhere for a while... It's never boring and I'm familiar with most the stores I've been through. Great money if you're fast and don't mind a little work.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

I was just on it at my new company, they paid me $1320 a day take home. Screw US Xpress

It was a temporary thing. I also have my own truck (leasing from a third party). And the 1320 is my percentage.

[@scottmiller1300]

They don’t pay per stop, it’s $200-$250 per trailer unload plus $1.00-$1.05 per mile

Once it goes down the roller will you still stage it inside the store?

No, once it’s out my trailer, it’s no longer my problem.

When I get my CDL they said call them to do the dollar general. Like 5 states or something like that. I’m in Texas. Don’t know now from watching that. Thanks for the inside look.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

Well Dollar General used rolltainers. Over size shopping carts. They are not as bad. It's still labor intensive though.

[@Pa_school_bus_enthusiast]

Can’t do no package by package I feel like that should be the stores responsibility to unload the trailer

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

I would do it if they paid more

[@richardstewart9816]

That is alot of work

[@WeaponryFitness22]

Unloading is by far the easiest part. A lot of drivers struggle because they are slow and not in shape. I could do two trailers in a day if the stores provided more manpower.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

I had no problem with the work, only the compensation and waiting 6 hours between loads

[@adriannew7674]

How much of that stuff winds up left on the truck then @ your house?😂

💬 they suppose to take it all, damaged or not.

[@jessesanchez244]

Did you unload the whole trailer in one stop? Im getting ready to do the same thing here in South Texas.

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

No it’s usually three or four stops per trailer

Go to DG, the work isn’t as hard. The product will be in rolltainers (big shopping carts)

@@stewslogisticsllc9460 Thank you, that’s what I was thinking. Looks like DG is less involved, no roller ramps, less time at each stop. Pay is just a little lower than fam dollar, but with more stops it might even out? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. 👍

[@tichdaddy1]

A few Quick questions: , you stay in good shape on the dg account? It’s a good workout? Werner would send me with a trainer for a week or so. I mean, no one likes to have to be with a trainer, but I’ve got a good work ethic, in good shape etc. Ya think I’d pick up the routine and be efficient on it quickly? Thanks Sir!
