For example. I live in Northern Utah. There are lots of potatoes to be hauled out of Idaho. Why not call on those potato companies and try to get...
Yea, when it's all said and done it seems a good company job is hard to beat. Perhaps there is some self satisfaction or cool-factor in having...
Who do you drive for?
Nice. When once says that they are leased to ABC company what does that mean? Is that the same thing as being an o/o? Or are there certain things...
Would you mind elaborating? What are you hauling? Who are you signed on with? What's do you net in a year? What kind of home time are you seeing?
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Yea, at OD line haulers do better than P&D drivers. Believe they are earning about .62 cents per mile. For...

I'm thinking that I will. I can get by for a while on 20.00/hour part-time until I either get offered full-time or the opportunity to enroll in...
Right. Making 80-100k as a line haul driver with OD wouldn't be too shabby at all.
Nice! Thanks for sharing what your own experience has been!
Ok. That's helpful as I'm not looking to go OTR, so maybe taking the dock position at OD is the better way to go for me as compared to paying my...
Ok, interesting. Appreciate your perspective. I just received an offer for a dock worker position today at OD. The terminal manager said that I...
I learned at my interview today that line-haul drivers get paid per miles whereas P&D drivers get paid by the hour at OD. With that being said,...
Were there any LTL companies recruiting at your school, or where they all OTR companies?
I'm a newbie --no cdl. Had an interview at a brand new ODFL terminal 3 miles from my house today for a dock worker position. They offered it to...
