📋 Shift Flow From the Terminal
Drivers report to the Boise terminal for pre-trip, pick up pre-loaded 53' dry van at the retail distribution center, then run established multi-stop routes hitting 2–4 stores per shift on average. Expect a mix of drop-and-hook at the DC and live unloads or store deliveries with tighter maneuvering in retail parking. Dispatch assigns loads via tablet with adjustments for receiver hours. Most weeks finish with return to Boise area by Friday or Saturday for weekend reset. Winter mountain passes require extra attention but lanes stay relatively consistent outside of holiday spikes.
