    I'm XB linehaul as well, I've been to that terminal a bunch. The staff is nice enough, it's pretty organized and there's plenty of room. It might be the only place in the country I've found where they actually have the MT trailers in one spot, like they should be. No idea on hours for P&D guys.

    @KaoMinerva is either misremembering the size or they have moved since he's been there.

    He’s a linehaul driver and there may not be many linehaul options down there. Hub terminals are usually the best way to way to go for that.

    If you want hours as a peddle hand, just see how much territory they cover and look at the far out runs. I run about 100-140 miles from our yard.

    That’s a hell of an example for new guys.

    “But, but... HE gets away with it.” :rolleyes:

    They must have moved so I'm ignorant to the new terminal. The one I remember in Orlando was very small. It was hard to even hook a set inside the terminal. Again, I haven't been there in a long while so my information may be off currently.
