Been trying like a mad dog to get onto those "shuttle only" positions with them, Ben E Keith and the like. Had some interviews but they led nowhere and was left feeling like the egg was on my face. But, it being the year that everyone doesn't want to work, I should resubmit to them too and take that shot.
Relocating for LTL/Linehaul or other home daily work.

I mean the Denver area could work. But I don't picture myself buying a house or settling down there. Maybe 4-5 years tops.Gearjammin' Penguin Thanks this. -

If you drive a diesel pickup that’s deleted, don’t move to AZ.

I'm aware that the OP is unlikely to move, so this is for anyone wondering about actually doing a relo to work for one of those companies.
Estes will only consider applications where the home address is within 75 miles of the terminal. You can use a local address to apply, but need to be prepared to back it up and be ready to move and start work quickly if they call, it might only be a week or so the way things are.
IME, ODFL is more flexible about potential relocation for hire. They give a lot of discretion to the terminal managers, so if the manager thinks you look good on paper and you show up at the terminal for the interview, you have a shot just like a local.
Again, they need drivers right now, so dawdling and kicking rocks ain't gonna get it. Limited time opportunity and all that.Gearjammin' Penguin and bentstrider83 Thank this. -
I'm not taking your statement as an insult in any way. If anything, I just got to find more reasons to want to leave immediately. Stop worrying about hurting feelings and making enemies.
