A week on this route
Your day starts early. You pull up to the first store before most people are awake and roll the freight off the trailer box by box. A route has 1 to 6 stops. By the end of the week you have run about 3 loads, unloaded each one, and stayed inside Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Some weeks include nights, weekends or holidays. Then you go home for your reset.
Before your first route
Orientation is in Jacksonville. Bring two weeks of supplies. After orientation you ride along with an experienced driver on the route and get paid $150 a day while you learn it. Your truck is an International, Freightliner or Kenworth, and support staff are on site 24/7.
The sign-on bonus pays $500 after your first load, $500 at 30 days and $1,000 at 60 days.
Please note: during home time, the truck and trailer must be parked securely, on your own property or in a gated lot with a guard or cameras. Store and Walmart lots are not allowed.
