I just heard our Harrisburg terminal is laying off 40 people across every department. Dominoes are starting to fall.
I did this once at Reddaway in Salt Lake. If I didn't do my typical bag run to Denver, they'd have me do one to Missoula. Take a rocky set in,...
Barely is correct. My wife quit her job due to our babysitter falling through. This was the impetus that allowed me to get on mortgage...
What I've been told by other drivers is if my barn starts doing layoffs, the wild board drivers are the first to be kicked off. The combo drivers...
Things have only gotten worse at my barn. Seems to be more linehaul trucks sitting than running every time I visit the yard. I don't know how the...
Not the ProStar but the LT, it's basically a refreshed version.
It's been dead slow at my barn this week. Only reason I'm running normally is because I'm team linehaul. Yesterday, dispatch told us they...
I would too. I like the outward visibility, the driver seat, and it's a comfortable place to be for how I orient myself. But the mechanics hate...
My wild team run got cut short this week. Typically we do 2 round trips from SoCal to Dallas or Kansas, but this time we went San Antonio - Dallas...
Pups are great, dollies just as good. They're pretty good about maintenance here, changing out tires well before I believe they need to be...
I'll throw Old Dominion's hat in the ring. All our linehaul trucks are newer than 2023, got a nice mix of FL, KW and now plenty of Internationals,...
I'm still running strong, but only because I'm team linehaul. I spent 20 minutes waiting in the office for my co-driver to hook our trailers up...
Seniority sucks until you have it. I'm #90 of 108 linehaul drivers at my barn. But had I started my employment at my current barn instead of...
Yeap the solo guys for sure. A lot of bid guys would get cancelled once a week, and the extra board guys would work 2-3 days a week, basically...
Salt Lake and Denver for sure. Old Dominion isn't hiring en-masse to my knowledge, but I know linehaul spots in those two cities open up more...
My barn rebids every 12, but I've heard of some doing it every 6.
Not really. Out of my barn we're not struggling for team freight. September was remarkably slow and there were a couple instances where we sat...
Old Dominion
Thought I'd pop in for an end of year update. Freight has picked up a tad but nothing substantial. My barn dropped the number of solo linehaul...
OD linehaul in Southern California tops out at .8558cpm, all on-duty not driving is paid at $16.50/hr to abide by state wage laws. Teams top out...
