ABF

It happened to me got hired in as P&D ..stuck it out for 1yr then had to move on..Out of that Yr of on call and I'm not exaggerating at all here..I actually drove 8 times on the road..The rest of all that year was all dock work..That's all they called me in for..(when i was called) They should advertise the job as DOCK worker needed and occasional driver.

 

I don't know anybody that would just sit there waiting for work after weeks of no work. Me personally i would have been looking for another job and as soon as a new job came up.... i would have just split.

I'm pretty sure the forum's profanity filters won't let me post what I think the letters stand for.

 

Me neither .

 

Reading up on the prospect of having to sit on an "extra board" with these LTL companies makes me a little leery of going forward with them at the moment. I'm sitting on a substantial pickup truck payment that eats up a good chunk of money each month and even the job I have right now is feeling kind of sketchy. I put in apps with USF Reddaway, Southeastern Freightlines, Old Dominion, Saia, and even ABF. The job and the runs sound quite within my capabilities. But I'm beginning to think I should hold off and stick with the various, milk-related outfits that keep popping up down here. Already looking at a shuttling company that does hourly and only works like 15 days out of the month. Get that truck paid down and then see about making the jump then.
