I heard they were doin good ....but it's gotta be better than any OTR operation ,LTL line haulers are at around 60cpm and on the clock for fueling or drop & hooks
Most LTL city drivers are at around 20 hrly -
I've done city driving for 2 years, and don't care for it much. I'm considering line haul.

I worked for pitt for nearly 12 years running line haul the whole time. The pay is pretty good, my last year there I made $80,000+, but I had enough seniority to run 2800- 3070 miles/week in 5 days, no weekends. Line haul drivers when I left were paid @ 50 cpm with $9.50 per drop and hook, $21.50/hour, 15 minutes on the clock for fueling, paid waiting time after 30 minutes at relay points, paid breakdowns 100%, paid traffic jams 100% (as long as the brakes are set, verifiable by the company & the company didn't warn you about them before you go into it), and they run pretty decent equipment, newer Mack pinnacles and some older Sterlings. They still pay 100% of the employees medical insurance but no longer cover spouses if spouse has coverage available through spouse's employer.
I'm a bit jaded in my opinion of them because I spent so many years there and the way I was let go, but I'll just say, even though I'm not a fan of unions, but pitt could use one and leave it at that.Shaggy and already gone Thank this. -
you dont get overtime at pitt until after 5 years, correct?
-
Shaggy Thanks this.

Sounds like I need to continue to look for other options.
Everyone has a terminal in my area, and is hiring. Pick your poison. -
holland is still a good job, even after the 15 % giveback.

Funny you mention Holland, as I'm now considering YRC. Their overall package offer seems to be a little better than Pitt Ohio's.
