Otr to ltl

I think there are two classes of drivers, there's your OTR guys who that's there life, and then there are guys who do the other stuff which are your "day cabbers" and distribution fleet guys which is who I am and we go out do our work, we have a job to do that must get done that day, because usually there depending on us to get the ball across the goal line. Instead of delivering a truck load of some stuff to some warehouse where it's just going to sit on a shelf for a day or two before someone gets to it.

You did get a way more interesting mix of equipment in the local world which is what I like, in my current job I've gotten to pull 50ft trailers, double 28' trailers single 28' trailers, and have gotten to learn not that's its super hard, but gotten how to learn how to work the refrigerated trailers, I've also gotten to drive refrigerated cargo vans and other kinds of specialty gear.

Driving I've gotten to go all sorts of places helps that we use 28' but trust me some of the places we go to that 28' trailer mine as well be 53' long, but somehow we get it done.

 

Do food distribution. The money is great and you get a decent workout. If you have a GFS on your area try them. They are pretty good about hiring with little to no experience, at least my location is.

 

And hello to Mr. Mike from a fellow Gordon driver

 

@Mike2633 ... you win~! ^^^^^

ps: @LakeLife80 .... aren't you an LTL guy, too? Any advice for the O/P???

 

Go hang out at the random LtL thread..... say hi to the guys! Heck, I'm a tank yank, and I'm even welcome there. (there's a Canadian bus driver in there, as well. it's fun~)

 

I drive by Lake Life's terminal on Thursday morning during the school year.

 

Hello, how do you do Allegheny Valley Division Imperial, PA here (I know I already said that, but it's worth repeating.) (I'm actually Cleveland, Ohio primary yard, but our division and loading warehouse is the warehouse in Imperial that's why I say that.)
