Changing Company again!

It depends on the LTL. LTL is just like OTR, you have your good companies and bad ones. You just gotta be smart about who you jump on board with, and not take the first opportunity that comes your way. Not only should the employer profile you, but you need to profile them.

 

And it's hard to do that when your prospective employer isn't talked about much on the internet. I drive for the post office, which isn't talked about much on here or anywhere else, so it was hard to do any research. So, I talked to the drivers I met in reality. I love it here. 4 years later, I have no regrets.

And yes, they have a strict dress code. I have a similar uniform of a letter carrier, but I don't mind.

 

It is, and you're right. I'm 33, and lucky I landed a job here because I don't have a military backround. There is no turnover here. Once you turn regular and get your own run, you'd be an idiot to quit.

 

My ex boss still calls me once in a while to see how I'm doing. Before I came here I did heavy haul for 6 years.

 

Ta heck with LTL, I gots tha cherry job! Local truckload flatbed, baby! The most loads I've run are three in one day. Load and bring to the yard, or drag a load off the yard and deliver local. Plus, I get to work in the office, too, learning the ins and outs of load planning and dispatch and brokering to some of our owner operators and small fleet owners. All that and hourly pay, too! Oh, and the rare, occasional, full run that I get paid percentage on and hourly to deadhead back to the yard.

Some other guys try to recruit me to their trucks, they get the same answer: "Sorry, sir, but you can't afford me."
