    This no-rehire thing sounds new to me in regards to LTL. Over here in the milk hauling world, I know of guys that cycle through the same, five or six companies in this area in the span of two years.

    i think we (UPSF) officially have a no-rehire policy, but i know firsthand that if you do a good job, they'll put it in your file so that you likely can get re-hired.

    So, the bottom line is that it's officially unofficial that you basically CAN get re-hired at UPSF.

    I think you should concentrate more on if you're an employee that is worth rehiring.

    As with any other company/industry, if you're a crappy employee that's basically filling a space and you leave... the company will be happy to tell you that you can't come back and give you some excuse like we don't do rehires.

    I have a friend that left OD with proper notice and a year later he's back.

    I came back to Estes after 18 months at Saia with no problem. I was told when I left I was always welcome back if Saia didn’t work out.

    When I left ups freight, they told me I was put down for re-hire status since I left on good terms.

    I had a great gig there but I’d had enough.. I should have stayed with Estes in the first place.

    “Great gigs” are hard to come by in this job. What made you change your mind?

    FedEx freight would bring you back and give your seniority back after a year.
    No one is going to pass on a good driver who was trying to better himself and it didn't work out.
