Excuse my new-ness. Linehaul is just between terminals right? I'm in my first year working for a beer company doing bulk grocery deliveries which is ok, but studying for HAZMAT so I can get a higher paying gig once I'm capable of applying to some companies (6mo or 1yr) trying to look into daily home stuff as I just had my first kid but sometimes I'm not sure of the terminology. Also is LTL is typically a home daily thing?

Ummm... wrong what the last guy said. Linehaul runs between terminals. We call them turnpoints. Basically it means you "turn around" and head back home. We lay over 5% of the time. Some guys run on bids and lay over more by choice... mostly to get more miles. But no. We are not out for weeks. No idea why someone would write that. Even regional doesn't stay out for weeks.

This isn't just a LTL side. Forget it myself all the time.
When i did line haul( local ) flat bedding simply a different language. We called it dedicated run around. Plant to plant ( terminal to terminal )
Different speak. same thing. OP threw in last sentence LTL.
#2 poster is correct also. Some Ma and Pa Shops ( LTL ) around my area does that practice as well.
yeah it's confusing.Last edited: Apr 7, 2014
