I've been out here now going on 30 years and something that my trainer told me the first day in the truck and has stuck with me all these years is...
I run for Old Dominion Freight Lines and I had a bolt sealed load with corrosive placards that I picked up at our Detroit terminal that came out...
I had one of your guys rip my doors off Friday night. I was getting around a road closure on 65 and he came up behind me on US 31. When we hopped...
Ok that's a new one!!! Lol!
Lol
We're buried in freight. There's purchase transportation in the yard and dispatch put out a sign up sheet for weekend volunteers.
I've turned the fuel caps more miles than the op has driven
I knew what he meant but I was just pointing out that working for OD isn't something to get a big ego about considering we hire with no driving...
My region solo linehaul is .8783 so the teams are definitely well above .92 cpm. It's always been they make quite a bit more on the mile running...
Yes we still have single axle sleepers. As far as how they compare I've got a few buddies who run linehaul for R&L and they like working there....
OD teams are making more than .92 cpm. I run linehaul here at OD and the teams make around .10 cpm more than solo so they're around .99 cpm.
I work at OD and why would your ego explode if you can get on here? We hire drivers with no experience.
Try every LTL carrier near you. Most will hire for combo positions which is where you're working dock, city, or linehaul. You're going to have pay...
Since I'm at a major break we always have freight. My son is at an end of the line down south and he struggles to get out on a weekend.
I've been running between 3,700/3,800 miles which will get me up to $3500/$3600. The holiday pay with the extra day put me over the $4,000 gross week.
I'm 57 years old I've been trucking for 30 years and I've never tasted coffee or smoked a cigarette. I don't like the smell of coffee or cigarette...
If the extra board is covering a schedule then it applies with us. I'm running extra tomorrow on a schedule that has a 1745 gate so I can't leave...
They're cracking down on us for leaving more than 30 minutes before the gate. Guys were leaving an hour or two early then calling central...
How much are you making for delay time at the DC? Backhauls? Breakdown?
13 years and it's always been this way
