Old Dominion Team Driving information

Even for teams no pets? I understand solo with slip seating and all no pets people are allergic ect. But teams with assigned trucks husband and wife team with a cat that has a litter box and don't need to be leashed or walked to use restroom surely there is an exception possible. Ive talked to lots of companies that don't allow pets they always made an exception for a cat believe it or not cause cats are independent animals. Thats a great dog you have miss owning a dog absolutely adore dogs they truly a mans best friend especially on the road.. i could find a pet sitter but thats cruel to me..

All trucks governed at 68-70mph or can teams go faster like 72-75 mph? I know r and l carriers team trucks do 75mph . Just like to get home a.s.a.p every week lol.. take my money and run

 

I was out of Ellenwood terminal. Much better than Marietta. I drove for Cornerstone Trucking. Check them out. Fedex always offered them good runs because they treated thier drivers good. Happy driver, good driver.

 

Our run was Ellenwood to Toms Brook, Va. Meet a solo driver there, swap, back to Ellenwood.

 

Exit 291 toms brook Virginia off the 81n at the pilot. People drive so slow on the 81,n i hate it lol.. what are there trucks governed at? Hard to change contractors because your old contractors can kick you out the fedex system and lie say you had a accident so not worth the hassle. Appreciate the info.. whats the cpm pay. I make 80cpm. Marietta really sucks for freight. Were you 303 anvil block domicile?

 

You did this run 5-6 times a week how much gross and net? Im trying to net 1700-2k net take home. I know i can make that at r and l, old dominion, estes, or ups but not fedex

 

I was at $.70/mile, but I retired 2 years ago in May. I'm sure rates are higher now.

 

How many miles a week was your run like 5200-5500 miles? Or more? How many days off did you get? Just a 34hr reset or a complete 48hrs at home? You would be surprised a lot of contractors dont want to pay more then 70-75cpm max i got lucky with mines but marietta just sucks period for freight and fedex sucks for freight now as i said to many contractors involved not enough freight the dedicated they do have aren't that great lots of down time i know the headbutts run pretty good mostly but stay out to long for little miles
. 2yrs ago trump was in office too so what you made then was great money now its barely getting buy especially if you own or bought new home like i just did..

 

I cant remember exact miles but it was 5900+ paid on a 5 trip week. We would leave out Monday around 4a.m. Finish last run around 1 a.m. Saturday. So 48+ hours off.

 

Thats a excellent run especially for fedex. How fast did your truck go? R and l has runs 6000-7000 miles a week in 5 days 2 full days home gross is bout 2600 @ wk 1800+ net they dont due per diem not sure why. Yeah these miles get exhausting real quick im sure. I just get bored on dedicated runs.

 

In 2022 what is od paying teams now? 85-90cpm or more? Did they finally get fully loaded trucks with inverters, stereo i didnt even know you could get a car or truck without a stereo thats horrible. Cb radios? Refrigerator? Microwave? Teams can have pets on board? Do they pay teams per diem at odfl?
