    Does anyone work for them? Truckload? Freight?

    If Truckload, avg miles in a week? Good company? Is the transition to Freight easy? Good idea?

    If your goal is to work for freight, try getting on with freight from get go. Everything is based on seniority and someone who works the docks for a year will be 1year ahead of someone who drives for truckload for a year and then transfers in.

    I worked for the ltl side for like 3-4 months. I got hired with a truckload driver who had to do a year otr before going to ltl side. I left Wasnt my cup of tea. Work the dock the whole shift 10-12 hours then have to hostel afterwards for 1-2 hours. Like stated it would of taken me atleast a year to get off the dock. Easy to get hired into ltl side if that's your main goal. Just apply
