I made about $55K my first year after graduating CDL school. Granted, I live out in the middle of nowhere where the cost of living is much lower. So they pay us less at our LTL terminal Yeah, I agree on you with your other points. We used to have a 401K plan... they stripped it. Then they started chopping at our pay. As for grievances... yeah, it would be nice to have someone to watch my back if I get myself in a bind. But I just learned not to get myself in a bind... Or I just keep some things to myself. On the other hand, we have just a handful of employees. There is not much fighting going on really.

By the way, line drivers also run during the day. FXF runs their trucks 1200 miles a day, 24 hours a day.Last edited: Jul 26, 2013

I hate running during the day, and they keep sending me through NYC highways during rush hour. Miss my night shift

LoL, i have already had both knees torn and repaired. Now i'm facing knee replacement for the left knee due to not much cartlidge left. I tore my by repetitivly pulling totes, pallets of drums and hardwood flooring to the back of the trailer at non-dock stops. Eventually your body breaks down. We have several drivers that have had hip/knee surgeries. Most of the UPS parcel drivers i know that have 15 plus years on their route have had multiple surgeries. -
cool35 and Marksteven Thank this.

Man, all I do is drive and my right knee is the bad one. I have to use the cruise control as much as possible or else my knee swells up! Hopefully it's just another meniscus tear. Kinda scared to go for a knee replacement.
Marksteven Thanks this.
