You know anyone in FL who wants to run Flex Team? I just called Estes, and I would need to bring a driver to get hired.
Ok great, thanks for the heads up. I've seen UPS freight hiring teams, but I think that's different?
Ok thanks guys, I actually applied for a Team @ R&L last week, they called me 15 min after I applied, recruiter said they would call me back that...
That's awesome, pretty much how I started, my Dad drove too, I got my Class A CDL in 2000 when I was 23 years old, went trucking until 2016, now...
You also work at Estes? I'm wondering if you can tell me what a Flex Team Driver is? Do they just stay out longer and run wild? I'm looking at all...
That's great, we're all stoked you are having a good time (well as much as one can have while at work, Lol). I always liked running up to Wisconsin.
I have seen the same thing happen, watched a guy quit SEFL years ago in Florida, went to North Dakota, got laid off shortly after. How hard is it...
That's great, kinda impossible to arrive on time with 8 drops in 1 day, Lol. Once you are empty, do you always reload back to FL?
That's great, I use to deliver to Home Depots, years ago when I worked at Southeastern Freight in Orlando.
That's good to hear about taking a shower, Lol. I can tell you this much, You start running loads with 10 drops, you will gain much faster...
My Dad's friend works @ UPS in N.C., he's been there many many years, I think he gets 9 weeks vacation, or something like that, maybe I'm wrong,...
Did they end up getting hired with anyone? (Old D, Estes, R&L). Have a great weekend.
Yes, I think you are doing good, I had a sweet gig, i worked 9 days, home 5 days. I just think the older i get, the more I want other people do...
Here's my worthless opinion........go run teams with someone like Old Dom or R&L, these days you can make $100K+ per year, with good benefits. In...
haha yes sir, that's really all it is, embracing the suck. Best of luck, keep posting about your journey.
Keep us posted, I live near Eustis.
All the comments above seem to be accurate about UPS, although UPS isn't easy, they are making money. Not sure how old you are, but If you do...
Did you apply or get hired @ R&L?
I have 2 friends pulling 53 reefers with 10-11 foot sleepers on a 379 and W9, i don't know the exact wheelbase. One of them runs Wisconsin to FL,...
No, Linehaul drivers do not touch freight, it's one of the easiest driving jobs in the industry (in my opinion). They only run terminal to...
