Hey sorry I just saw this, I am a system driver for them and to answer your question you are home every weekend, BUT you never know what time. When I looked into it they said Mon to Fri and for the first 6 months that was basically true I was home almost every Fri night 12 to 2 am but about 6 months ago they started not getting me home till late Sat. afternoon I don't mind an occasional sat. but not every week. THEY ACT LIKE YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO BE HOME. Most of the dispatchers in central are completely clueless and are CLOWNS who have no Idea about how long it takes to get somewhere. I've been doing it for a year now with trucks that nothing works no APU for 8 months no electric for microwave,tv or coffee pot. still, in 30 years of driving I've NEVER worked for a company that ####s on their drivers this badly they expect you to do things for FREE and make the line hauls drivers sit around for HOURS I MEAN HOURS with out pay. I kept thinking it'll get better but it's getting worse I'm currently looking real scumbags here. Good luck.

PS.Lots of long time employees leaving in droves, most of the old timers stay because they don't wanna change lots and lots of drivers with under 2 years ,makes you go hmmmm.

 

I think it depends which terminal you run out of. Luckily our meet guy is usually on time. When we get back we have 2 and a half hours wait for load to be ready but we use that to get our shower and walk for exercising. We get back at 10pm and our cut time is Midnight. Usually get paperwork by 1230. I have heard nightmare from system drivers about delay time . Our shop is pretty good about repairing any thing wrong. Our APU quit working so our mechanic did an override on the idle.

 

Anybody got a connection down here in Lakeland? I've got right at 5 yrs of OTR. Looking to try to break into LTL.

 

Go to rlcdrivers.com . You can apply if there is an opening in Lakeland. Don't need any referrals from an employee. Just need a good driving and work record.

 

Conditions vary based on location

 

Doesn't seem like very much. especially for teams. I know this was a couple years ago, so hopefully that number has gone up. I'm extra board at Estes and grossing about $1800/wk. I still have 4 more raises to go before top out
Our teams are doing $2200+ All 5 days out 2 days home
