Werner Dollar tree Account is it worth it? Part2

[@ronnieterry4916]

Once upon a time dollar general freight was loaded just like the load we just saw. The freight was loaded all the way to the roof. Normally you would think the heavy freight would be on the floor? It wasn't loaded that way heavy bleach would be at the top of the stack. That is absolutely unsafe and totally insane. What I saw when I was pulling dollar general trailers was very unorganized and the professional drivers had to make it work. I also noticed that drivers didn't stay doing that freight very long. Overall I don't think very many drivers last very long doing dollar general freight. The trailers were poorly maintained. The tandems were poorly maintained and the doors were poorly maintained. More recently the freight is put in roll around carts its difficult and the driver is expected to bring back the empty carts from the stores. The space around the stores is very tight then add customers cars it does create challenges. The last thing that I would say is you are at the store and unloading and you run out of hours for that day you will be expected to finish unloading and then be prepared to stay in the parking lot by the store until you get additional hours the next day. Just expect poor working conditions. Inside the trailers are extremely hot during the summer time. Inside the trailers will typically be twenty degrees warmer than the outside temperatures. If it's 90 degrees outside Inside the trailer will be 110 degrees. To sum up working delivering dollar general freight just expect a lot of poor working conditions and most professional drivers just don't do this work very long. I noticed that most who do this long term are those that are living near the distribution center.

Agreed dollar store routes will break you down faster than anything else and the bosses don’t care they just want the work done

👀👀👀 hard labor unloading a 53 foot trailer they probably charging 5,000 to 6,000 for that load and probably bringing in 4,500 after the overhead payout.

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

They bankin 700 to 800% in profit and cutting the driver 15% at the end of it all. Soon do a video on this when I gather more info but dollar tree account pay is equivalent to $15 an hour to sum it up

[@margaretrefile8207]

How many trucks do you unload in one week? $300 a truck. & how many miles per week @ .92cpm?

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

1-2 loads a week you be lucky to see 3 miles wise maybe 300-500

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

Good luck I hope it works for you let me know how it goes😉 stay tuned more dollar tree videos on they way!!!

[@jimmieedwards3436]

How much do you get paid hourly? They told me you get Cpm, hourly and $ per stop

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

$300 for the load .92cpm there is no hourly or per stop pay for dollar tree account

[@kemo6917]

I did work like that. 3000 mi weeks with lumpers doing the work is better. Dollar General probably not much better. 4-5k cartons too much work and the stores won't allow their people into the trailer to help out. 🤬😡🥵🥵🥵

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

You’d get lucky at a few store with workers that don’t mind helping out in the trailer. Most will stand there and watch you kill yourself over their products. The system they have in place is outdated

[@kemo6917]

@@257truckingvlogTv1 Stay strong bruh, what these mega carriers should do is get 28' trailers for these stores and drop/hook the trailers so the stores can unload at their own pace. Too many times I would arrive at a delivery and they had no room in their recieving area. They use their rookies mostly to deliver these loads and they need to use local or regional drivers to do those drop/hooks. You probably signed on for OTR but if you went thru their CDL program and owe them money, that's how they get you and when that year is over you're ready to move on. 💪💪💪

[@Clipx00]

how much do you average a week $ wise? if you dont mind answering

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

Bro I’m be honest with you shit has been bad with dollar tree since January of this year, that’s why you see me bouncing around from account to account in my videos helping on other accounts to make money. Right now you be lucky if you see 2 loads for the week on dollar tree you only getting 1 delivery for the week so $400-500 before taxes is what you looking at.

[@fit4dataction142]

How many days you spent on this load

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

A day and a half with the load

[@cooluser4017]

So theyre basically paying you $300 a day to unload the trailer

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

It’s $300 plus the miles for the trailer only

[@TruckingacrossAmerica]

I wonder how much werner makes per trailer.

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

Honestly I heard it’s a lot but drivers only seeing 10 to 15% profit

[@heshomohamed5344]

Why you keep working there if you have CDL license..I guess it's easy choice for you

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

Not a easy choice I’m just here to get my experience I don’t plan on making this my forever company just I got to do my time on the rock before I get the greener pastures

[@margaretrefile8207]

@@257truckingvlogTv1 this is my plan too. How much experience do you plan to get before leaving? I’m thinking 3months min before I find something better

I’m approaching a year this month

[@Michelle-io7bd]

​@margaretrefile8207 Try to get a minimum of 1 year over the road experience. Then apply at Gemini Motor Transport is Loves truck stop driver. Start at 27 to 30.00 an hour lots of overtime and great benefits.

[@Izza_GlitCh]

If they paid you 800 to unload you would still complain

[@257truckingvlogTv1]

Honestly they just need to pay the drivers what they deserve
