    What company is this in ltl? I'd like to know so I don't ever apply there. I run ltl and got plenty of time to take a 30 min snooze and ramp bathroom breaks. If it takes a lil longer oh well, I'm not ruining my cdl for anyone. I'm non union too.

    Grocery houses are usually teamster. Good job as far as pay an bennies AFAIK...up there with the top freight jobs. A lot of it is odd hour work though, so that can't bother you.

    Yup, they have to question you cause it's their job, same here. But they know they can't fire you over being safe. If you roll that set, you'll be unemployed and will be jobless for 3 yrs while going bankrupt. Mngmt will still have a job while you go to the poor house.

    Its one of the biggest food distributors in the country, I was running night linehaul for them, I pull empty doubles about 200, and meet with a guy pulling loaded doubles and we swap out, If i get there on time and he is late you start hearing about how they think your stealing time and rideing the clock, nope im just on time and ready to head out, to get the trailers to the route guys.
