    Unfortunate but true, it's one thing to fill in on p&d as a systems driver here and there, but the day I am told that I have to go to P&D permanently, I am done, it's ridiculous how much the P&D drivers are scrutinized.

    Drivers that need to be “scrutinized” should be replaced.

    They have good trucks. They’re always updating the fleet with new trucks. I have a buddy that still works there and he only complains about management and safety guys.

    Ok yeah ,wrong choice of word, they are not being "examined or inspected closely and thoroughly".

    They do have new trucks coming into the fleet, but depending probably on what terminal you are at, and if you are linehaul or P&D will determine what you are put in, new trucks go straight to linehaul, the older and higher mileage trucks are pulled off linehaul and rotated to P&D, example at the terminal I am domiciled at we still have 2005 Volvos in the system that are used for P&D.

    That will depend on the terminal and what kind of runs they have.

    Linehaul guys tend to do better out west, where terminals tend to be more spread out.

    What’s the pay for Reddaway linehaul. I’ve actually called to see and nobody could give me the answer. I hear they are low or else I’d be there in a heartbeat.
