Update on this thread: I took the local p&d position with them several weeks ago. Not bad so far. Obviously terminals vary, but mine expects an...
Brett, you're a workin man for sure. Other LTL jobs in the city are better, hopefully you get in a better groove. I used to do auto parts...
I agree the guy behind the OP was just a jerk. If he had a reason to go around, like he worked for that warehouse and was just dropping an empty...
Well I can't resist this thread, being a Jersey guy.... OP - If you're from Buffalo, you should be ok running the northeast. Buffalo is part of...
I'm just saying what I've found at the terminals close to where I live. The UPSF manager actually got out a copy of the contract and told me that...
I'm following this debate with interest. I wonder what the original poster ended up doing? I'm looking at LTL currently myself. All the big...
I'm only really looking at local daytime jobs, but I know they have line haul for solo and teams. I didn't ask much about line haul. Interviewed...
I've driven in NYC with a tractor trailer quite a bit The signs are total BS, you just have to know your route unfortunately. One of the reasons...
Anybody familiar with these guys? They look like a standard LTL carrier, covering parts of the midwest and the Northeast. P&D during the day,...

I spoke with a YRC recruiter recently. They're hiring local daytime P&D drivers, which is the kind of work I prefer, but the starting pay was...
UPSF is hiring (or at least they're listing open positions) for full-time P&D drivers and road drivers in some of their terminals here in NJ. I...
I ran 4000 miles legally in a week a few times, hauling locomotive engines on a drop deck... I shortened the time on paper that I spent...

Hi Semi, this is true that 5 speed maxidyne was nearly indestructible. My boss at that job was a cheapskate in other ways, but he definitely got...
13 speeds are great. What I did on a hill was click the splitter back then very quickly let off then got back into the throttle, enough to break...
Do ODFL and the other LTL companies require their drivers to be clean-shaven? I think UPS does (unless someone has a religious reason). Have a...
I agree with HotH2o - go to the DMV and get your abstract to see exactly what it says. Sometimes things don't get posted, or get posted in a way...
Thanks for all the advice and the descriptions of ODFL. I put in resume's at the two closest terminals to me (Jersey City and Edison) and have an...
