Old Dominion--A Newbie's Experience

Well good luck I am a company trainer with old dominion and lets say this you wont regret working for this company I have been a driver at many companies before for the last 20years and this one by far is the most rewarding you've made a good choice

 

I hope they are not training you to back in to the second trailer with the dolly attached to the lead trailrer

 

I train my guys to hook the dolly to the tractor and then place the dolly in front of your light trailer then hook up to your lead trailer back it into the stagged dolly which is in front of your second trailer then hook them all up... It is too hard for a new guy to back your lead into the tail trailer with the dolly attached to the lead

 

well anyways good luck maybe I will see you in south beloit meet and turn sometime I am thinking about taking that run on my next bid from minneapolis

 

What is a line haul?

 

From 1 terminal to another, drop and hook and back maybe 2 or 3 stops. Same runs over and over..

 

Why arent more new drivers talking about places like this/trying to apply if the company pays so well and their emploees are treated so well? seems like the mega carriers get so much attention, after reading a few OD threads im like "Sign me up!!!"
