Coming Back to Trucking and into LTL?

If you can get on with UPS Freight then do so. After the contract that is.

 

HOLY HANNA for real you get an hourly wage and a milage wage? why cant it all be like that....

 

Why whats up with UPS,other then sending a hot looking redhead over to my bro in laws shop in a tractor /trailer, on friday with a pallet of 4" valves

 

I my friends, am in the wrong truck

 

ups has some mighty fine ladies.. I was in the 67 mph rocket the other day pulling triples and she just blew by me with her mack and a set of triples as well. i've been in love ever since..haha..Seen some pretty hot ones locally as well.

 

Mileage when driving line-haul, hourly when not driving. If you are p/d then you are hourly

 

HA HA HA i kinda thought i was replying to another post. I am going to start a new job this wed, hauling trash from transfer stations, and was not sure if it was P/D and was confusing it with this post ,sorry

 

With LTL p/d normally you were in and out within 15-30 mintues depends on the customer. At bulk stops your there for while. Its not too bad waiting when your paid hourly, I never minded it but my dispatcher would get fed up

 

NO KIDDING! I happened to be standing next to a very good customer one afternoon, when my dispatcher asked me on the Nextel, something about WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE IDIOTS THAT THEY CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF THERE!
I handed the radio to "the idiot" I was standing next to, and let HIM explain a couple of things to the dispatcher. One being that he, (the idiot) was the customer, and if Mr. Dispatcher had a problem with it, perhaps he should go have a chat with the president of the company.
I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants!
I got back to the terminal, and that dispatcher never said a word to me about the whole thing.

 

Dude, you should see some of the UPS Parcel drivers in my area, Hard to concentrate after seeing them, especially now that they are in shorts!
