    We had warner, kansas paving, and TMC visit our school. but by the time i had most of my endorsments ready, those local positions had already been filled, and warner was only offering team drivers.
    I did try to talk to dr. pepper, coca cola, and pepsi, only pepsi offered an interview, but i guess they found someone better for the position. I would like to look into beer and food service though

    Ask Old Dominion if you can work the docks until a driver position is available. Never know, maybe they have something for driving.

    That is a brilliant idea! Plus, I've always wanted to use a fork lift.

    Old Dominion drivers make big bucks, especially with linehaul. $80G - $100G a year.

    Our dock guys at OD are making around $30.00 an hour. P&D drivers can get up to $100,000 and linehaul depending on the run can hit $150,000.
     
    Chinatown and Jamie01 Thank this.
