Most LTL companies like Estes old dominion SAIA etc Linehaul division is set up similar.. but be ready to work the dock at Conway. You have to load your own trailers at some locations...

well if it's more 'Combo' work.....I'm not interested....thanks for the insight. I know OD,ESTES,YRC, ETC if you have experience you shouldn't have to work the docks....unless you want to do the 'combo' deal.

This is the best way I can sum it up from what I've seen. If you are a new hire for a freight company that does not work the dock, you will probably be required to work as a "wild" driver. Which means you will not have any dedicated run and will go wherever their leftover freight calls for. It also means you will probably be stuck in a hotel at least 2 days a week. If you work with a company who requires drivers to work the dock, you will generally get the shortest driving time (2-3h round trip) and work the rest of your 12-14 hour shift doing dock work or hustling trailers.
You can find a lot about linehaul if you visit the LTL/Local forum.Last edited: Oct 26, 2015

I know for sure SAIA and Estes don't make you work the dock.. if they hire you as a driver, Your a driver... Conway is hard core dock work but you will make money there
lonelyguy Thanks this.
