You don’t need 2 years OTR. I don’t know who tells people this crap. You need a year for a lot of places, but not OTR. It can be almost anything...
Only Walmart posting in SoCal right now is Porterville. No thanks! Also, Walmart rotation is usually 5/2, 5/3 when you start. It’s not a bad gig,...
Only combo guys do dock work. Linehaul is all drop and hook, but most of the Carson runs will be doubles I would assume, so it can be slightly...
That one is posted as mileage, but the low man on the linehaul board can mean anything. Within the SoCal network we have hourly and mileage...
Depends on the terminal. Which one are you looking at, Orange or Carson?
I guess it all depends. I’m at a small terminal with only two linehaul bids, and the hours are pretty nice (like 8pm to 6:30-7am). If the...
…tow the line on the dock? Yeah, that makes sense. There’s standards for loading and unloading for a reason. They don’t just dump it in there and...
that doesn’t jive with your original post. You said he told them he didn’t feel well, and was going to the doctors. If he did the tests 4 weeks...
This is exactly what I came here to say. It’s usually in the neighborhood of 5-7 business days on those tests. Sounds like someone is trying to...
Maybe in other regions, but around here everyone seems younger. There’s some P&D guys on the older side who have cake routes, but they’re...
P&D just depends on the terminal. Some serve large industrial areas, and the routes are really easy because it’s all places meant for trucks with...
Not necessarily. I’m at a small ODFL terminal, and we just hired a new P&D driver with about 18 months experience. They want newer drivers who...
Those are never updated though. If they have hiring ads on NEW trailers, then that might be a problem.
Out of curiosity I checked the job postings for Swift. I figure it’s a good indicator of how the market is going. Holy hell are their postings...
You can actually stay On Duty in perpetuity (well, maybe not THAT long) so long as once you’re off, it’s 10 hours until you’re on again. I’ll try...
Why wait 2-3 years? Apply as soon as you see a posting. Small terminals for large carriers are where it’s at. My ODFL terminal has 11 drivers. 9...
They took my existing physical, but I had just renewed a couple days before I applied…
You should ask about any IRC Freight unless you’re on a scheduled run. They’re sorting and shipping like twice the amount of freight as RTO right now.
Someone else asked too, but which terminal? The hubs that hired a ton of drivers 2-3 years ago seem to be the slow spots. The small terminals...
I think that’s called Active Drive Assist. I use that too, especially because the closing/opening rate has a lot to do with whether or not that...
