Is it possible to only do p&d local delivery routes with a company like conway, xpo, old dominion freight, yrc and other ltl companies? I like loading and unloading trucks so p&d sounds like a good idea and dock work wouldn't be too much of an issue... would a cdl license with air brakes and hazmat be good for running local p&d routes?

Conway is XPO.
Yes you can run p&d only.
You’ll need a tank and doubles endorsement in addition to the class a and hazmat for the major LTL players.Texas_hwy_287 and Opus Thank this. -
Still pondering, eh? Local P&D usually gets snapped up by senior drivers and you'd probably start as a line haul driver. Still regional, but a different job. I say, work on the dock, maybe move some trucks around, and jump in that way. To tell the truth, with the way traffic is, and pay rates, you may make the same on the dock and maybe like it better. Biggest plus with dock work, 3:30 is out the door, not, "oh, can you make one more pickup" ( at 3:30, mind you, on other side of town in rush hour). That gets mighty old.

I worked with several drivers that applied with Saia and Estes. They all threatened to quit if they were put on P&D because the big money is in Line Haul. Guess what happened; they were all put on Line Haul.

i know criteria is changing, though. not for the better. -

When I first started with my outfit, they put me right into a linehaul run, and most of ours pay less then a typical day at top scale for the city guys.
I’m thinking the majority of the high dollar linehaul runs are to be found out west.201 Thanks this. -
That will be your job from then on. -
