They seem to be focused only on the cash, but the benefits are what I work for. And yeah cant beat getting paid to workout :) Not all loads are the same, some are very heavy, others lesser volume. Show up, give a good effort and you will do fine. Oh, and after youve been there awhile, ask for the load charts for the trucks on your belt, take the "pickoff" test... its an extra $1/hr, even if you dont do the pickoff job. Best of luck and give it hell :) [/QUOTE]
