Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

I used to work for ProDrivers for the first year down here in Columbia SC. They placed me with a flooring company delivery driver position which I filled for a full year.

Short answer to your question is NEVER. LTL will run in house as much as possible and if needed, hire third party independent contractors or interline carriers. But I've never heard of them using a temp agency.

 

Gentleman (and possibly ladies),

I've been under the radar for the past few months and I feel bad about neglecting all of you. There is a ton of awesome discussion going on and I just don't have the time to be as interactive as I used to be.

About four months ago I've came to the conclusion that my life wasn't hard enough. So I accepted a position on my weekends to work at Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens. It's a world renowned zoo and I got my foot in the door due to my transportation and medical experience.

I serve as a tram driver and backup medic/translator. The pay is absolute garbage. I think it's $9.45/hour, which I donate back to the Zoo.

Anyway, so I am doing this gig for another three weeks and then I will quit. Wife is pissed about me working 7 days a week and has asked me to take a break.

I hope all of you guys are doing well and I hope to start being more interactive once my gig is up.
