LTL/Freight Jobs in Southern Vermont? Any advice is much appreciated.

We will be relocating to Southern VT within six months. I am trying to do a little homework on what my job prospects may be........

Would like to work for an LTL/Freight company as a full time day driver - I can do P&D and/or Linehaul, but no night linehaul due to family reasons.
I am interested in driving for a company such as FedEx Freight or Conway. Also may be open to a Union gig, but no 3rd shift.

Is this realistic?

A little about myself... 25 years old, been driving tractor-trailer on and off for 4 years, very clean record, have had hazmat in the past & could re-obtain. Also have my doubles endorsement but not much actual experience with them.

Driving experience
Currently, one month in to a casual job running local/regional work for an OTR company, mostly Truckload, some LTL. Also still qualified with FXG.

3 months as full-time (peak) driver for FedEx Ground Contractor (Local Linehaul + P&D)
1 year as very part-time driver for same FedEx Ground Contractor (Local Linehaul + P&D)
4 months of OTR - most of my loads had 10-20+ stops mostly New England.
8 months P&D city driver also running statewide in WI

THANKS FOR READING!

 

...Anyone?

 

Yes I agree, but wouldn't it also depend on their needs at that particular location?

Was just trying to ask around a little before making some calls.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I will be sure to look into those companies. Those are all unionized, right? What kind of difference does that make?

Here are the other companies I have bookmarked...
FXF (don't know if my experience with FXG would be of any benefit?)
Conway
Estes
NEMF
UPSF

 

Good deal. Thanks a lot for the advice.

I have personally heard mixed things about FXF, mostly good, but don't know how much graveyard dock work I'm willing to put in to get a real job.

I think like many of these larger companies, things may vary quite a bit from terminal to terminal.
