    Have a casual meet and greet after work with the driver manager. Anyone have any thoughts on the company?

    Currently work for a miller/tobacco distributor, which I like a lot but 44k a year with free medical really isn't cutting it. I'm just hard pressed to leave as I like clocking out around noon =p

    Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Kiss that noon clockout goodbye for atleast 15 years.

    Talked to an AAA driver in Memphis a bit, seemed as happy as any other LTL local driver.

    Might want to add Southeastern Freight lines & Wilson trucking to your list as well; they have the same general running area.

    The other LTLs in my area are pretty much never hiring. Averitt hires, but only for Otr linehauling which requires you to have a teammate.

    I originally looked into OD and Estes. I did this application for AAA a long time ago honestly surprised they called me after almost 3 months I think

    I thought you were a AAA linehaul driver?

    Maybe I am mixing you up with someone else famous on here

    Not me, I did time with ABF UPSF city peddler. LTL was fun though. Dock was ever better :)

    Think I'm gonna take it. The starting rate is roughly $4900 more a year than what I make now. Average driver works 40-45 if I choose not to do dock work.

    Plus have the option to do linehaul on weekends if I'd like. Seems like a small yard I believe 13 trucks in total.

    If you are in Memphis, Estes and ODFL ARE HIRING. They pay much more than AAA.

    I'm in Florida. I dont know OD or Estes pay, but I was given RL, Saia, and xpo pay rate and it's lower than AAA.

    RL 21.06Hr
    XPO 20.77
    Saia 21.49
    AAA 21.75
    ^South Florida entry rates.

    Not by much a dollar and some change. Linehaul pays 60cpm trucks governed at 65 at AAA.
