Terminalogy and Acronyms

Why the face?

 

I think P & O is pickup and orgasm. It is part of the job description for Lot Lizards.

 

You're being knit picky because I didn't add the word freight. One box, one pallet, it is picked up from the customer, cross docked and delivered. Yes there is road drivers at all LTL companies. They make up a very small percentage of the employees. I wasn't making a detailed post but giving the guy and idea.

 

No, I'm being nit picky because they are two very different operations and the OP is admittedly new at this. So we should try to give correct information, so people like him can be better educated.

 

Dont know about everyone else, but less than 5% of our LTL runs have a layover. I run nights, but I am home pretty much everyday.

 

Depends on the company and the runs they have.
