Family Dollar Training Video

How to video for Family Dollar Class A cdl driver. Full Operation from beginning to end.

[@RumpleFoldSkin]

it is. when i was hired i was under the impression that i would be handling all of those duties as i had worked for walmart for many years and this is not how it is done at all. i throw truck twice as fast as any driver. that was my job. throw the entire trailer.

[@wgist87]

@@vinr6867 1k for each of you a day?

[@vinr6867]

@@wgist87 we got 2k per trailer. You pick up Sunday and drop Monday, pickup Tue Drop WED and pickup TH and drop off Friday. Your only day off is Saturday. We put in two weeks and quit, too many variables to overcome; 1. You have to fight for good rollers and lock them up with a thick chain so they won't get stolen. 2. Zero training, you have to figure it out on your own. 3. Tight back ins. 4. You never get the same store twice, so you have to study your approach every time. 5. Stores differ is speed and quality of their employees, so if you get slow people at your first drop you will finish late or have to finish up the next day, you do get $1000 extra for that though. 6. If there is an issue you are on your own, broker will not respond in a timely manner and all they care about is you unloading the trailer at whatever cost. 6. Some stores you have to get out before a certain time or else you will get trapped by cars! 7. It is back breaking work! The reason we quit was because a manager did not show up for our first drop and so we could not do the other drops, my broker did not get back to me until 14 hours later.

[@wgist87]

We're talking waking up at 1 or 2 AM and not being home until 5 or 6 PM if things went right. We were going to stick out until January but that manager screwed it up and made it a mess that day.

[@leonardomichua]

It’s alright. You just gotta take your time I’d rather take a turn 1000 times too slow than ONE time too fast I’d rather have cars curse me out and beep at me than to hit something or hit someone

[@MrJodyh54]

What they don't tell you is-that many times dock stores have only one door with a dropped trailer already in it. Then you HAVE to drop yours, hook up to the door trailer and pull it out, then hook up to yours and back in and unload. Then pull out, drop, hook up the the third-party trailer, put it back in the door, drop, and then hook back to yours and head the the next store. Been there done that but never again.

⁠@@abdellatifminouch703nowadays most of them get paid 1.8k-2k a week to do that But I’ve been trying to figure out how much you’ll get paid if you got that load as an Owner Operator, but I still haven’t found anyone to talk to that will tell me; but I’m assuming it’s probably $1000-$2000 a trailer. That’s just my guess tho If a company driver could make 2k a week then my assumption is that an Owner Operator would get paid 4-6k a week

I used to drive for Werner Enterprises on the Family Dollar contract. DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT TO SUPPORT THE ROLLERS! I did and got yelled at by the manager. Here's an exact quote from him. It's been years, but I'll never forget it because it taught me an important lesson on how stupid these training videos are. By the way, I used the EXACT SAME product as the one in the video. "Why the hell did you put the product under the rollers?! You idiot! Can't you see you're damaging the product?!" This video's a lie.

This is a joke 😂😂

[@nadiyah7071]

DG is easier than this?

[@droptozro]

@@nadiyah7071 DG has rolltainers, so in that manner yes it's way easier. The comparative issue with DG is that rolltainers can be VERY heavy at times if full of water/dog food(up to 1000 lbs) or milk(on the reefer side). Also there are toppers(the toilet paper products mainly) on the dry side trailer above the rolltainers and some loaders are not so helpful when it comes to this and you'll end up digging them out to get all product to proper stores. That means either moving RTs for other stores out of the way or climbing on top to get them dug out.

Which is easier to unload, Sysco, Dollar General, or Family Dollar?

[@RS-do6tv]

Walmart

[@Scott_Terry]

From my experience, I'd say Dollar General since you'll have a lift-gate and the freight is in those fancy carts. Family Dollar you're doing it all by hand. Sysco is in the middle because - at least from what I hear - you can use a hand-cart / dolly....then again, you'll be in tighter places with Sysco, potentially. The Family Dollar is the most difficult of the three, and the most thankless - make sure you have a damned good reason to be on that route if you choose it.

[@droptozro]

One company offered me up to $2k/week or $3k/week if you go out Saturdays and home daily. I don't see it though---no way someone is doing this job consistently in one day(or at least while having a life). All it takes is one employee going extra slow unloading your stuff onto the pallet off the rollers or a late manager not opening on time and you're behind schedule and screwed for the day. I saw one lady's video who did this and she showed up at 6am for unload and the manager was late and didn't show up til almost 9am. She wasn't even able to get into the back door til almost 10am. Now she was OTR so at least she had a sleeper... I can't imagine doing this home daily.
