Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Yes OD has a barn in Columbia. Also it is a relay point for some loads going south.

 

Welcome to my neck of the woods, driver! Around Columbia there’s a YRC terminal, USF Holland, R+L, Saia, OD, fedex freight and UPS freight, southeastern, Estes. Pretty much just take your pick. Im an ltl driver for a very small company around Columbia and I’ve been by pretty much all the terminals while driving. If you have any questions about the area or anything feel free to pm me.

 

FedEx yard code is CUB...give them a look!

 

I'll always recommend ODFL. It's a strong company and the 401k with profit sharing is what you'd expect with a growing company. Having said that ... if you wanna do P&D, you can make out better in places that pay overtime. OD pays after 60 hours, but you'll never see those hours. They might as well just say they don't wanna pay overtime. For linehaul, I'd highly recommend ODFL.

 

In the northeast top rate for OD is around $29. Not sure about starting wage. Anything under 20 seems low ... even for starting wages. At least in LTL.

 

I’d say around $19 is acceptable. The cost of living here isn’t too bad.
