Do it! Linehaul is easy money drive to a terminal drop and hook and your on the road again. Besides if you have to stay out LTL guys stay in hotels.
I got my CDL training through Roadmaster, as someone said it cost $5,000 ( 7 years ago ) but I was receiving food stamps at the time so the county...
YRC may not be high on my list but make no mistake if you can get on with them and get a year or two with them you can go to any LTL you want. As...
Sorry Central Transport would be bottom barrel of the LTL industry
I work for Saia LTL, best company I have ever worked for hands down. Yes we have things people complain about but so does every company. Outside...
We get $26 an hour for drop and hook pay and extra drop pay as well as delay pay if you actually get it( we are rarely delayed). I average about...
Lol I have no love for YRC either but I'd say they would still be better than most OTR companies, at least in pay and benefits.
Now the home daily aspect will certainly be up in the air depending on terminal but worst case scenario is out 5 days home 2 staying in hotels...
If the OP gets a job with an LTL company yes, that is realistic. Most LTLs only require one year of experience.
Well... To try and get back on topic I'm hopeful my 2nd year in LTL will get me 100k home daily. Top four drivers at my terminal all make over...
I guess so, I work for a great company and I'm compensated pretty darn well. Just assumed these OTR companies started paying better since I got my...
.32 - .40cpm!! Companies still pay that low holy crap. I make .66 cpm and I'm home everyday... I run a small 1900 mile route and I'm making 80k
Do you want to do OTR? LTL carriers offer better pay and better home time. I know for a fact that YRC hires no experience drivers
Phew yall must love those trucks LTL is awesome I'm home everyday no weekends and I'm making 80k on 2000 miles a week. Can't think of a better...
Best advice I can give is try and skip the school route and save your money and make a company pay to train you! The trucker shortage is real you...
It's annoying but they turned down the sensitivity big time on the these new 2019 trucks we got. If you don't drive like an idiot they won't come...
There is no " probation period " that I have ever heard of but yeah 90 days on the insurance sucks I had to fork out some big money on meds......
Don't blame ya there eldiablo. Different terminals do different things, all of our linehaul bid routes are home every day. Crackerboy, the seats...
Pay varies slightly by location and they start you higher with LTL experience
We need drivers so bad and just about all the terminals, seriously if you have your endorsements and some experience just apply and ask the TM...
