    Hub driver has dock work. Pay is $.575 a mile plus $21.90 an hour dock pay. $7.50 hooking/ unhooking sets. Home everyday. Linehaul is the best pay but it might require being gone all week until seniority is built up

    I worked for Estes. You wont start out at .575 as a driver in any division. In CA I started at .495 plus fuel, breaks/hooks, pre/post. The only way you will start as a Hub driver is 1) it's a brand new terminal or 2) no linehaul drivers want it. You can get hired as a city driver but as far as line you will start out on the extra board. Usually out for 5-6 days, home for a reset then back out. Sleep in motel rooms and run day cabs. When guys leave you move up the ladder, it will take a while but once you are able to bid for a hub run you can. Not all hub drivers work the dock. It will be listed on the bid.
