Good luck. I've been pulling sets for a long time. I've been running linehaul for a long time. Every week is like a vacation and I get paid and treated well for doing it.

lucky break, i have never had any success trying to get on a line haul or even local for any of those guys. i cant complain too much, i got my wish of being home but my job is actually pretty difficult and i have to learn so much stuff in a very short time haha. driving is a sweet easy gig and i miss it every day hahaha.

but no one deserves it more, you really do not want to work all your best years away. i would like to see more companies in general taking a chance on us young guys, not everyone in our generation is a lazy sack...just like 90% of them haha.

got to the terminal around 8:45am, watched a BUNCH of videos, 4 of them on Unions.... and then took a bunch of tests, hazmat stuff, etc had it all done in 2.5 hours (by 11:30am) then spent the rest of the day, loading and unloading trucks (till 4:45pm), then they sent me home.

I found out today we get paid a flat $125/Day while in training (3 days of training), so i got all the terminal/dock training done today.


Tomorrow and wen i will be rideing with another driver, gotta be at the terminal around 5:30pm tomorrow, they said he leaves by 6pm.


Note: for any drivers to scared to go LTL because your affraid of dock work...if the other companies are like this company then it couldnt be easyer, spent 5 hours sitting on my but on a forklift...no sweat





So far so good!
