THIS ☝️ I've never pulled triples, but 90% of this applies to doubles and is all great advice.
Well, the main differences are turning radius, can't back up (well some drivers can), generally work nights, and more connections. Personally, I...
I would contact the TM and make sure you fully understand the program. I don't know how it works for someone with experience. I will definitely...
My last company had automatics the last 5 years I was there and we hated them. They break down a lot. Get stuck in gear while driving and will not...
Yes, only manual. I have no idea, but I'm glad.
I've been driving since '09 and have driven for 4 different companies. I've been at Old Dominion for just under a year. OD is by far the best...
It all depends on the run that you get. I'm on an hourly linehaul run. I shuttle trailers between 2 terminals. Usually my night is 3 round trips,...
Local P&D is hourly. I'm not sure how they pay linehaul. I interviewed there last spring. Ended up going to OD.
Tforce does. I think they are OT after 8 per day and then everything after 40 for the week, something like that.
I will say this... no company/ job is perfect. Now that being said... I switched to LTL last July and landed at OD. I can honestly say this is by...
I hear it's a pretty big issue with lot of the companies. I'm a linehaul driver for OD, when I ran city it was rare to have damaged freight. We...
You're probably right. I'm in LTL myself. But it's hard for companies to keep drivers in LTL without good pay. Even dock workers for that matter.
I know this is an old thread... Did you apply? How did it go?
Not saying this will happen, but... I worked for a company (not going to mention names) who did what Knight-Swift seems to be doing. They bought...
Right now companies need drivers. So I am sure some companies and terminals are willing to give you a chance. Would probably depend on experience,...
Zzzquil works great too
I work for OD now and absolutely love it. Started with them in July and plan to retire here. Hands down the best career decision I have ever made.
I will put it this way... I'm almost 40, working full-time since high school, and have been driving for 12 years professionally. OD has treated me...
That's what the guy that interviewed me said. They are hiring people at a higher tier because nobody would apply at bottom tier. But the the tier...
Right, that's why they got approval to start people at $24 and $25.
