Oh gotcha. We dont have a 2nd and 3rd shift. We got the 7am bid time... then theres the 8pm guys which is for the shape up(meaning might not be work for everyone or just extas) and then theres the 9am bid time. Besides the switchers and the dock guys thats it. Road drivers come from the bigger hubs. YRC says its better that way so who knows.
Im in Westchester County, we do the Bronx, parts of Manhatten, Lower westchester and lower fairfield counties

Gotta say three months into ltl and im really liking it. 12pm start time doing the afternoon pickups, some times deliveries. Then back to the yard around 6, drop my loaded grab a empty and run the night shuttles, drop and hook pickups and late night live loads.
The bad. Realizing after the run of picking up a half loaded trailer then filling it out at a live load i was grossing about 85,000. Thank god the pa turnpike has no scales. The last minute dispatch changes. Being a late start guy i do the cleanup work for the day guys so i get sent all over the place. No set route.....yet. Gotta put some time in first.
Btw i work for new century outta westampton, nj.Marksteven Thanks this. -
Well, working in Utah, my outfit was not union. And since trucking is EXEMPT from a lot of the labor laws, we did not get overtime, no matter how much time we worked. All of the outfits (at least that I'm aware of,) here are that way.

FedEx Ground theres no Overtime at all. Since either you work for a contractor or you own the truck. Owning the truck your paid by the package and service, and if you work for one your paid a straight salary, it was awful there -
You want to learn about why you don't get paid overtime at some companies read up about express carrier legislation.
Big Don Thanks this. -

I have worked for both union and non-union LTL. Everyone always says us union guys do NOTHING all day and get paid for it. The non-union is WORSE then some of the guys I work with
