As far as a LTL, you got these LTL in baton rouge and surrounding areas. Old Dominion Averitt Express AAA Cooper Saia Southeastern freight (port allen, LA) Estes (Hammond, LA) ABF (port allen, LA) FedEx freight You got plenty to choose from good luck.
I would think baton rouge has a cheaper cost of living and 27 a hour would be hard to get. Ups would pay that. Old Dominion pays well.
