Piggly Wiggly Alabama Distributing Company, Inc.

From the first day they give you no instruction on how to do your job what the paperwork is for at least minimal training on a truck one day to at least understand their systems would be beneficial.Place really needs to build a DC somewhere in between FL and GA to take strain off of drivers in Alabama having to drive 400 + miles for one store not enough compensation to never have another Saturday or holiday off .When you are new they will start you local and quickly shuffle you to the outskirts of every surrounding state you will literally be somewhere different everyday of the week you will end up having to unload the truck more than not because these Piggly Wiggly in these small towns either have no dock or inadequate docks.Usually a 13 hour day will be your shortest day and  I guarantee you will have to hit some kind of exception to make it back you are an on call driver meaning they tell you what time to come in usually before 12AM again you take this job you will never see another weekend or holiday and for the compensation they give you its not really worth your time to driver 3000 miles per week under the guise of you being home everyday  .People working a regular 9-5 will make more than you driving a CMV.Then when you do stay out instead of them just giving you a corporate lodging card /clc card for you just to choose your own hotel you have to pick from a preselected sheet of budget hotels they don't pay per diem for you staying out /laying over either .All together it should be a pass for a lot of people you have been warned.

i start my day off waiting on a  phone call to see when I work, The times they call are between 1 and 4, if the dont call. I call them to see what time I have to go in.  There isnt a set schedule , You come in as needed. You might have to be at 11p.m or  6 a.m. , It depends when they need you, off days are requested  ahead of time, They tell you if you allowed to be that they or not, Its very  hard to plan anything without knowing, the hours you work or the  days you off.  The money is there, but not for the amount of work you do, isnt worth it. Its slip seating there isnt an certain truck you may get, they assign you one when you call them or they call you . Clock in get your stuff together and head to  the yard  and find your trailer number. hook,up,pretrip, etc. head to your store or stop. hand paper work to the workers there, stand in the back help them unload , stack off every once in a  while. Get your returns and head out to next store if  you have one. if not head back to the dc. fuel up at dc do paper work and get your truck unloaded and  park it then etc etc.

They use to be the best paying warehouse in Birmingham. The whole company is going downhill. Mileage drivers are under paid and they are short of drivers and thats the main reason why. They are losing a lot of stores and its not worth it. Only thing the pig is good for is getting experience... after that RUN!!! Cars recently got broken in and what they did after that was put combination locks on the tractors. Personal vehicles were stolen and they are only worried about their stuff.

Friendly environment but a lot of snakes. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It varies from position but it’s a mostly busy from the moment you clock in until you clock out

The company is very disfunctional when it comes to  being organized. You wait daily on a emailed assignment that determines if you come to work and go out on a route each day. Slip seat every day, and lay overs at least 2-3 times a week..horrible  experience!  Dispatchers don't have knowledge of  truck routes, so  you are routed to destinations using car gps..   pay is decent, but  only 1 unpredictable off day per we

I learned a lesson about time management and how I use it when I work. You must come to work with positive attitude or otherwise you will bring your collective work value. The pig tought me friendly competition is always good in a tough job.

Seniority rule , they don’t judge you off your work ethic. It’s about who been there the longest, and the ones who have tend to do little to no work . I got fired because a loader intentionally place the wrong item on an order. Top officials have zero understanding
