UPS Freight Diary:

Thanks. And have a lot of questions. All this time working here and i've NEVER done a linehaul run. So i'm really in the dark here (no pun intended).

1) The term "nightliner" was thrown around when i was in orientation---at a very large terminal (and i think you know which one.....). What exactly does this mean? You go to the same terminal(s) and come back to your home terminal everynight?

a) If you're not a nightliner, then how does this work?

i'm looking for the LONGEST possible solo runs. Will re-locate if necessary and not necessarily particular on where although would prefer AZ, Northern or southern CA.

2) Tell us more about teams. (might even consider this if the money is right)

 

The whole rate thing is intriguing; A few weeks ago picked up one skid---GOING ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY $240 something dollars (long story will explain more on that later in the mean time the jist of the story is gov't overspending........).

Today picked up 4 pallets, total weight over 10,000 lbs. going about 120 miles away---$348!

 

Delivered a long road case on wheels today (about 10 feet long, maybe 250 lbs) that was originally picked up about 5 miles away!

$494!

i guess some organizations have $$$..................
