Sounds like you're in good. Dayton just received an award for best regional carrier. I chat up their drivers sometimes when I'm heading back from...
Twice this week I've had disagreements with a dispatcher about hazmat paperwork. Everything is present and correct info-wise, but sometimes in the...
Are you out of Indy?
My brother in law drives for XPO, and he hasn't heard anything other than the usual BS that is always churning through the rumor mill.
I know last year we got more KW's and no Volvos when the new trucks came in. I don't know how that translates to other terminals, but I'm seeing...
What a crime. Those catfish shops on every corner is one of my favorite parts about going to Texas.
Glad to hear it. These LTL companies aren't like some carriers where you interview one day and are in the truck the next. I applied to all the...
I don't have any direct knowledge, but the general opinion isn't great. Poor equipment, cheap freight. For her work my wife ships with most of...
Don't panic yet. Sometimes the wheels move slowly.
Is there another qualified person the company can move in until your boss gets back? I've worked at a small facility and they would bring in...

Don't let your nerves talk you out of this. Pulling a set of doubles isn't that much different than pulling a long box. All the normal things...
Someone makes folks tuck their polos? Last I heard, those were ok untucked. Not that I've ever seen it enforced for button-downs at any of the...
Would you care to elaborate on the problems at Fair Oaks? They were having lots of difficulties and turnover 5-6 years ago before I left Ruan. I...
That was a big issue here in Indiana a few years ago. Fair Oaks dairy runs its trucks with natural gas generated from the animal waste. The state...
No freight for me on my scheduled run today. They didn't sit me at home though, which is nice. I got a shorter little run to fill the gap. Less...
Don't take advice from these guys... [MEDIA] Man drives semi over 2 pedestrian bridges, gets stuck, blames GPS
You might move up faster than you think. We have about 200 linehaul drivers at my barn and I've moved up pretty fast. I'm still a lot closer to...
Best suggestion, if the bosses go for it. I worked at a company with a similar setup except we had two drives on opposite sides of the building,...
