    I am just curious about this company, they look like a nice smaller, regional carrier. I saw a job opening that was for "city drivers" and starts at 22.38 an hour. That sounds really good, except the "city driver" part, I bet they mean NYC. Pay is rather good though. Any info on them at all? Thanks for any info.

    They are a regional LTL carrier in that part of the U.S. I havent heard too much about them, see a clip about them in Transport Topics every once in a while. If you've got the chance to work for them, then go for it, and their starting pay is higher than conway. We barely start at 20/hr

    I've talked with Pitt-Ohio drivers that wouldn't even work there if they could get away from it.

    "Slave Drivers" was the impression they gave me.

    We have drivers here with the same mentality. LTL is a meat grinder just like OTR.

    I live near their West Middlesex, PA. Filled out a their online application a couple times. Never heard a word. Believe me it isn't cause of my driving record! Seems like SUnday departures and lots of weird hours. Doubt this helps you much!!!!!

    They probably get a bunch of apps.Call and follow up is usually the best thing to do.

    That's a very strong hourly wage to start at. I don't think any of the LTL's in my area pay that well unless you've got some time in with them.

    Thanks for ALL the info, I appreciate it. I was asking more for my friend, he hates his job now. I am a class B driver, not A. Pitt-Ohio come to find out has class B drivers and pays 18/19 an hour which surprised me. How do you pay a Class A driver 22 and a Class B driver 18? Seems to be to close, I would think a Class A pays much better than a local Class B.

    $4/hr is a pretty significant bump to go from driving a straight truck to a day cab/pup box. There's isn't that much more to it until you get into doubles/triples, which most city drivers don't do a lot of anyway.
