Before I ever drove a semi I started in this business as a lumper & Household Goods helper @ 16. Back then the rate was a dollar a thousand. About any load from Proctor & Gamble 42,000 on the floor. National Carriers load Scots Fertilizer 44,000. Mattoon, IL Lenders Bagels 1700 frozen cases on the floor. 44,000 Kal Kan dog food on the floor Mattoon, IL. Franklin, IN Kawneer extruded aluminum 100 20ft pieces on the floor. ANY load going to Lion King or Sysco Foods all on the floor. Barred from Sysco. I refused to do their sort and segregate work. My company @ the time, CLM out of Indy pulled me off the city board & said I had to work the road or quit. Best promotion I ever had. Amazingly, all the road loads had a set price for lumping. Just call for the comcheck #. von.
