    Dang, look at YRC up there above Estes, ABF, and UPSF! Time to give that 15% back already.

    YRC is made up of the former #1 and #2 LTL companies (Roadway and Yellow). They have steadily declined actually.

    The real story on that chart is DFL going from #16 to #14. They've been trying to hold back the growth to keep it manageable, but America loves us, so whatcha gonna do?
     
    LtlAnonymous and speedyk Thank this.

    I'm amazed that YRC are still in the top 10. I see some ragged stuff out there, one run around here has a Yellow cab with a trailer that has some old local business logo painted on it, like they bought it at a yard sale back in the 80's. And don't get me started on the local Reddaway iron. Hard to believe they meet SLA's with that stuff.

    ####, Saia is a lot smaller than I thought they would be. As many sets as I see running around Texas......

    Check out Estes and the 14%+ growth year over year. Nice.

    I honestly think Dayton is one of the best non-union ltl's to work for, from what I've heard.

    I see they're hiring for the ATL UPSF terminal for Road driver. Do I go on the same website to check for the Feeder Driver position or is there a separate site for that? Do you really stay under .50cpm for the first two years and sit at home occasionally?

    Thanks man

    Seems like most LTL carriers are good just deciding which one fits me. Not going for the ones with driver facing cameras though. F dat!

    Thanks for the information fellas!!! Excited to learn how to drive these dubs

    A lot of YRC trucks in my area look like they've been through hell and back. My hub has feq Volvos from 2005, but at least they are still in decent shape.

    Go on ups website and click on careers for tracktor trailer drivers. Then click on your state and local cities. You should see feeder position and other driver openings there
