Would like some opinions between doing ltl/truck load or otr

thank you for your Insight opinion on my thread. just checked in to the website and seeing your posting. I was accepted 2 Dorn transfer corporate office Rock Island Illinois for a interview this morning at 10 o'clock a.m. central standard time. I had the interview and yes Pitt Ohio partnered with the company. my main concern in my interview was that would I be doing any unloading or touching the freight do to the company I am with now I have to at times unload trailers with two wheel hand cart appliances refrigerators and washer dryers. the company I am working with now is a complete rip-off NM transfer Neenah Wisconsin LTL carrier again rip off. the company promised me such good information when I had my interview with NM transfer. getting paid miles plus stops isn't the way to go working for an LTL carrier must get paid by the hour.some things that the company pays besides miles plus stops is when unloading a trailer by hand you get paid by counterweight which comes out to $1.63 / / counterweight. during my interview with dohrn the company starts out all drivers $20.25 an hour they do very little little LTL most of the time you are doing truckload hitting doc 55 to 60 hours per week 10 to 11 hour days dohrn linehaul pays $0.44 a mileI told the lady during my interview that I would be interested in a position with dohrn so I'm awaiting approval to see if I get hired

 

////////..... yes I agree with your opinion working in the LTL industry has to be paid by the hour and I have came to the conclusion that getting paid by the hour is the way to go. as far as YRC / roadway comma Old Dominion comma abs would be an OK position but the way the union and Teamsters are cutting back on driver pension is not so good.

 

Had the interview with dohrn transfer went well. The interviewer was real and didn't bull #### me. She told me alot of things that sound better than what I'm doing now. $20.25HR 10-12HR days M-F work is available on Saturday running their line haul at a pay of .44mile the company don't want drivers working over 60HR a week. Blue cross Blue Shield health insurance with available two pay package first basic one is weekly at a deductible of $16.00 a week and second package at $50.00 a week. 401K over time after three years of service. Very little no touch freight and very little ltl. After one year of employment you get $150 extra a month for a safety bonus.
