I never went through the driver trainee program, so I don't know much about it, except that there's dock work involved and they phase you into the...
You MAY be able to get on at Southeastern, but make no mistake about it, if you're fresh out of driving school, they won't hire you as a driver....
Heard that! I took off last night. They called and said they could cover my load if I wanted the night off. I was half asleep when they called and...
I'm a little confused. I'm talking about Southeastern Freight Lines in Orange, Tx. There is no OTR side. Are you talking about where you're...
Sorry I haven't kept up with this thread. I'm in linehaul, but I'd say 50 hours a week is average in the city. If that's the average, then I'd...
Exactly. It isn't much of a problem if people are asking for a day off. If every time rotation rolls around and somebody wants off, then bam,...
Well they are DEFINITELY hiring there. They are in need of city drivers very badly. That service center moved from Lake Charles, so they lost a...
Rotation must be much heavier at the really big terminals. It's ALMOST non-existent at my house, and when it does come around, the city guys are...
Man, you're so close to Southeastern's new OTX terminal in Orange, yet so far... closer to Shreveport really...
I work at Southeastern. I love working here and I don't ever foresee myself leaving. Unless a really incredible opportunity every presents itself,...

You are correct. When we took our last SDI survey, the biggest complaint drivers had was the fact they had to pay for their pallet jack. (That...
I wish I would have known how much our bodies truly want to sleep at night and stay awake during the day. I would still be doing what I'm doing...
Probably reduces the monotony of the job too, I'd imagine...
Pretty much the same here at SEFL. You can work the dock if you want to though.
Guns ablazin'!! :smt071
Congratulations! I've never done OTR, but from what I'm gathering, generally speaking, the WORST LTL experience is still better than OTR. Better...
You're sure right I'd be singing a different tune. But I've never seen (or heard of anyone who's seen) that happen here. I understand why the...
Southeastern uses outside carriers as well. CRST, JM Bozeman, Landspan, G&P (sister company to SEFL), and TLI come to mind. Some guys seem to have...
No telling really. At this point I believe it's (fairly) common knowledge that new emission diesel engine's mpg sucks! All of our new city units...
