    Do you have your CDL-A? Do you have any OTR or otherwise, experience? There are a lot of guys on here that do LTL .... not sure who's in Phoenix, tho. If you put your Location in your profile, many a member searches posts by THAT alone. I know many of us Buckeyes (Ohio) know eachother this-a way.
    Just IMHO... I pulled doubles for FedEx back in '03 and yeah, it's more than YouTube can teach you. Add some more info, ie: where you drove before, how long a CDL, and anymore you can think of~!!
    Help us help you~!!!

    Thanks for the reply man!
    Yes I have my class A with all of ny endorsements but no experience with doubles or anything, I have been driving for almost 4 years and I used to deliver beer and now im in food service but it sucks bad! So im trying to get on this ups freight deal here but need the knowledge of how to hookup and drive with doubles.

    Yeah man I went and had my interview today but I dont think it would really work out with the pay and bennifits, it sounds really good otherwise but no overtime or anything so I would be taking a big pay cut even with starting pay at 23.05 and hour and I only make 19.00 but still bank alot for all the ot.

    There's no one at sysco that will show you how to hook them up? When I had a line haul to Kingman that's all they ran was doubles.

    I've seen it done, but haven't done it myself. Back the dolly up to the rear trailer and leave it there. Connect your truck to your first trailer, then back that trailer to the dolly. Connect first trailer to the dolly, then back the dolly under the rear trailer. Hope that helps....I think that's how they do it.
