Profile For Thomas S.

That definitely all makes sense. Thanks guys!

The recruiters that come to my school have made it seem like the dollar accounts are hidden gems that the experienced drivers don’t want because of the manual labor. One recruiter showed us a video of a driver unloading a dollar general trailer and kept saying “doesn’t look like he’s working very hard to me” lol

Thank you. I figured those jobs were too good to be true. The recruiters make it sound so easy lol!

The potential for accidents is incredibly higher for this. Take a look at any of these stores as you are traveling around for the next few days. Envision backing in these parking lots, surrounded by moving cars with impatient drivers. IF a driver with little experience can do these maneuvers at each store, then there is the obstacle of unloading your cargo on your own at each store.

We never recommend these as a entry level choice for any brand new driver. There are plenty more opportunities that point one towards a successful start.

Why do you recommend not doing Dollar Tree / Dollar General / Family Dollar as a new driver?

Thanks!

If they mention Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or Family Dollar tell them you might be interested in one of those positions in the future, but that you would like more experience before taking a position on one of those accounts.
