So what is your LTL company paying?

I finally got a bid run this year, and it completely changed my life.

I never had a bid run across three different companies. This is literally my first bid since I started LTL in 2007.

And I know I was getting close to a bid after 5 years at ABF, but by then I was so burned out and hated that place so much... It was worth it just to get out of there.

 

And people wonder why I'm crazy. Lol I guess it has a lot to do with being on-call for 12 years.

 

I don't know if "better" is the word. Lol

I was really happy at Yellow. I was sad to see them go, and sad to see what they became by the time I got called back to work after being laid off.

ABF was a long-term port in the storm.

And now if everything goes right, I will just retire from here. It's taken a long time to get here.

 

Wow that's a long time, I have been running wild only since 2015, over four jobs now, the first one had I stayed put I would have moved up five spots and probably on a bid, but me and my wife decided to relocate and I started all over again, the 2nd and 3rd jobs were what I would call "I did what I had to do/do something different jobs" they were both bulk/chemical haulers, the 4th is now Saia and I hope this is it and I can retire there and call it good.

 

I would not be a huge fan of the driver-facing cameras, but I hear they pay well. Good for you.

 

My final numbers. I took it easy the last few weeks for peak season. The mental break was worth it.

 

Daaaaaaamn

 

livin like a doctah

 

Only working far fewer hours. He did about 500 hours less than me, and made $35,000 more. Lol I can't wait to be at top scale.
