Hey all,
Been on with UPSF for a little while now, happy to report that starting pay is 28 bucks an hour due to the tight market here in the Northeast. Folks elsewhere in Chicago for instance still get 17$ to start.
SAIA, Estes, ODFL, what do you peddle drivers get? Linehaul guys, what do you get? Our linehaul guys get 70ish cpm + hourly for drop and hook.
It'd be good for us all to compare general wages so we know what is what. Remember: The more info about pay is out there, the better informed drivers are when they make decisions to switch and the more competitive companies ultimately have to be. So just post your #s below and let's work to increase transparency cuz I don't see too many straightforward threads about this.
Just to add from talking with folks here in the Northeast USA:
Ross Express drivers tell me they start at 25$/hr for a peddle run.
LandAir starts at 23 (rolls eyes)
XPO is supposedly 25-27$ depending on experience.
R+L starts at 27.65 I think.
Someone on another thread mentioned SAIA is starting as high as 30.65$/hr
So what is your LTL company paying?

I started a lil bit ago with coca cola at $28. I don't really have a specific job tho. I line haul, deliver night bulk, hell even yard jockey and last week worked 3 days inside because everything was a mess because of the hurricane that never happened lol.

FedEx Freight likes to make it complicated. There’s 4 different pay scales for different parts of the country, depending on cost of living and competition. Plus there’s the separate hourly scale for California linehaul drivers as stated above.
In my area of the midwest, starting pay is $22.58/hr and it tops out after 3 years at $28.83/hr. OT after 8 hours in a day and 40 in a week. Linehaul gets $.5477/mi to start and tops out at $.6832/mi, with “fixed pay tasks” to cover non-driving work (30 minutes of the hourly rate to drop or hook, 15 minutes to fuel, etc).
Supposedly they also increase the pay across the board once per year, but I’m too new to have witnessed that. Oh and we also have bonuses every ______ (quarter? year?) depending on how well the company does.McUzi and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
This is a great thread. The more information people have the better.
I just saw a job offer for $0.43 a mile averaging about 2400 miles a week. You know someone out there is thinking $1,000 a week before taxes sounds great.Northeasterner, Cardfan89 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
