    Holidays are pretty slow for LTL usually, it's the package carriers that get busy.
    My dad drives for Wegmans up there, I KNOW he'll be busy for the holidays..lol

    When you turn 23 you can come over to Swift and lease a truck. As much hometime as you want and triple your income.

    They are apparently the worst of the worst of the LTL business. But that's still way better than OTR with a megacarrier.

    What's funny is next morning i went to Central and got a pretty good vibe from my local terminal. They offered me a job and i took it. It beats spending saturday night at a god #### truck stop eating Subway.
