Which LTL?

Per the contract, if the driver board at a local UPS facility is exhausted, the company may purchase outside transportation.

 

The top growers are OD, Estes, and SAIA. Companies that are growing fast are also growing their seniority boards. These are the companies you want to look at as a new hire.

 

Saia is out, for their driver-facing camera practices.

 

I applied to em all in Atlanta. Only two to give me a call we’re XPO (Cartersville) and ABF (Conley). XPO takes three years to get to max pay, ABF takes one year. I went with ABF and start next month. Some people will say the background check process takes a month or more. I had a job offer 11 days after the interview.

 

Due to the driver shortage, I'm sure they, like most companies, have had to loosen their hiring practices a bit.

 

And I'm definitely not saying that's why you got hired. I'm just saying the process has probably been shortened.

 

Out of curiosity, what is top scale pay at abf?

 

Yes it was mentioned in the interview that he could barely keep up with replacing retirees. I’m sure it helps I’m not a job hopper and have clean driving record and whatnot but for certain the shortage is a big factor.

 

64 cpm linehaul. You start at 90% and then after one yr you are at full pay. I honestly don’t remember the hourly rate from calling and talking to so many places but it works the same way starting at 90%

 

I believe it's in the $24 range.
