    I wanted to get out of running the ramp making food service deliveries. I am doing linehaul on nights now. easy money, great company. no complaints.

    I'm also in Indy. I see od a lot at night, not much solo, though.

    I had a couple friends that used to work there. One left for Dayton, and the other is at Estes now.

    I want to know how Dayton can roll the #### out all night long and never get the cherries and berries.

    68 mph won't ruffle too many feathers. They seem like fast trucks to some, but they really aren't.

    I understand why people leave bad companies for Dayton, but in my area the Pitt-Ohio drivers seem pretty happy. I've always considered them one of the better LTLs to work for. Do you know why they left? Bad local management or what?

    The one that went to Estes actually got fired from there for being in an accident. I'm really sure why the other left for Dayton, especially after being at Pitt for 8 years, but he says he likes it a lot more at Dayton.
     
    Bob Dobalina Thanks this.

    Yeah I always thought Pitt was pretty decent my two choices would either be Dayton or Pitt-Ohio.
