    EXACTLY lol. Estes doesn't have the best equipment, but I think the benefits are amazing (in my experience), the company perks are great, the pay is top notch... And every time Old Dominion gets a raise... We get a raise higher no matter the time of year. Keep on going up on that pay odfl.

    I know OLDD has #### breakdown pay. Only reason I know. Because one hit me. Wasn't their fault. Some woman stalled on the interstate. I was able to stop my truck a foot away from the truck in front of me. Old d didn't. Still got the pictures Screenshot_20230626_191413_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20230626_191423_Facebook.jpg

    No idea. They was pulling a set of loaded doubles. Which I never touched doubles before. But I'm guessing harder to brake

    No he just wasn't paying attention. He was definitely fired for that

    I almost was. A pair of scissors I keep in my sleeper. I found on the ground next to me. So I was that close to scissors to the head.

    Also no one was hurt at all

    No driver face camera but they do face the road. No, it's regional but if you wanna run and stay out they won't stop you. They'll actually prioritize you. You have schedule linehaul and extra board.
     
    JoeyJunk Thanks this.
