let me add to this statement from you. although i do not work for the double D, i did apply there for a yardman's job. i did not want to drive for them. even with all my years expereince, driving for them would be not so good a deal for me. they do have a high turnover rate, which is probably like any other trucking job. you WILL WORK your butt off. you WILL WORK long hours. you WILL BE HOME DAILY. the money ain't so bad to start. the equipment is leased from Ryder. typically, the trailers are pre-loaded, and the trucks/tractors will be hooked up for you.
let me put it into perhaps another way, if anyone works for CVS or Walgreen's, then double D is basically the same set-up. all those tight (nee) very tight parking lots, off street deliveries, etc, etc.
i simply will not tolerate driving on our roads and dealing with delivery schedules and loading areas that require way too much manual labor. because even at $22.00 an hour, it ain't enough........
again, its like delivering to Domino's pizza shops, mc donalds, burger king, etc, etc...
the employee's open the door, you do the rest..............up/down/in/out/up/down/in/out/ of the trailer and the ramp behind the trailer......
