    I know several drivers at Estes and they have never worked on the dock.
    I recommend going to the hiring event and see what's available.

    Ok will do! Thanks.

    Do y'all know if p&d or linehaul is better?
    Or the guy that said your friends been there for 4 years does he do linehaul or p&d?

    He’s linehaul, on a STL to Indy route. But for the first 2+ years he was extra board so he was OTR and stayed in hotels every night on the road. You’ll likely have to start on extra board there and work your way up by seniority.

    He makes like 64 cpm I believe, they pay very well on linehaul

    Some areas have local/regional and also there are west coast runs for drivers that want OTR.

    You should probably read the linked thread and it will answer virtually all of your questions about Estes. I recommend READING THE THREAD, not just reading the first couple of posts then asking questions.

    The secret to this industry is patients, Grasshopper. Stay put for another month, So you an claim 3, then go after the Harley Gig, use that for a year or so, if you like doing Bikes (which are strapped to custom pallets), theres a company called Haul Bikes based out of Las Vegas thats all they do that pays fairly well...
    Just an idea.... Also I think your in the neighborhood for Smith Transportation, I believe they do Vans, Tankers, maybe flats (not sure about the flats)... Probably want at least a year though

    Put on your carharts and steeltoes, walk into martins farm trucks in greencastle, bring a pen and notepad. Ask who the biggest truck customers are in your area and also leave your number as an available A license driver. You are surrounded by ag fields and end dump work. Id take that over OTR anyday. And farm hauling is just like log or quarry hauling... You deal with the owner every day. Not some BS staff. If you got the license, can drive and show up, youre qualified.
