any ltl jobs that will hire newbies in connecticut

Are you in Fairfield, too? Have you gone through school? I looked into NETTS and All State.

 

Sweet. How did you like them? What's. the short course? I just remember the main course being like 4 or 5k

 

Yeah, that 10k kind of freaked me out. 4 k is much nicer. LOL
And, I like the idea of driving through Bridgeport. So, what was it like getting behind the wheel of a big rig for the first time??

 

Try the produce markets; delivering fresh produce to grocery stores. Try the grocery warehouses & beer & soft drink beverage companies. Try the drybulk tanker companies that deliver dry bulk cement powder & flyash to the ready mix cement companies in the state.

 

He's right about the Northeast being rough for new new drivers at LTL companies. A lot of it is due to the massive inbound vs outbound freight discrepancy. Since there is so much more coming in than out, companies use outside carriers to move freight in from the west and south to curb empty miles. All the LTL companies do it although I think Con-way is worse than most.

Not sure exactly where you live in Ct, but most of the big companies have big hubs in Newburgh, NY and the Sprinfield, Ma area but all the other terminals are small end of line terminals in that region. End of line means they only handle their own freight - they don't act as a link between far apart terminals.

I've been at big and small terminals and know drivers at other companies that have done both and the bigger one is always better from a work standpoint.
